Good people :)

So, I'm really cold today.  And its a good thing because I got to wear my peacoat for the first time (outside of showing my friend Katie) and I just love it.

Aside from that, I just read an article about how women can't get pregnant from a "legitimate rape".  Whatever that means.....I'm all for prolife and everything, but I think that statement was ludicrous.  Seriously.  This is the article I read.  I love that Tina Fey said, "Now I can't even finish this sentence without getting dumber; it's making me dumber when I say it--but it's something about the body not being able to get pregnant when it's under physical stress. Mr. Akin, I think you are confusing the phrase 'legitimate rape' with the phrase 'competitive gymnastics.'"  She is one of the funniest women around.  But really?  I agree with her about how stupid his statement was.

Another thing...I am really lucky to have people that are awesome as my friends.  I got treats and a cd from a great friend last night and it made my morning routine way good today.  Another friend went to Taco Bell with me and watched Modern Family.  And then another friend brought me a Coke and helped me feel better.  And then I ate my very own homemade snickers with another friend and life seemed pretty awesome.  Another friend laughed at my inappropriate joke in class.  The teacher said, "There is One that nobody can hide their actions from, no matter how hard they try."  I whispered to myself, and my friend heard me, "Santa!!!"  HAHA.  Silly, silly.  Not to mention inappropriate.  But it was funny.  Another friend texted me out of the blue.  I'm pretty lucky with the friends that I have.  Thanks for being who you are.

Good people sometimes seem hard to find, but they are there.  I can feel it in my bones.

Anyway, I guess I better go turn the heater up :)

Bye.

ugh.

So...I'm not much in to politics.  I don't like when people argue or lie.  I have been watching debates and all the news that follows.  Its irritating to say the least.  I have come to the following conclusion:

If Nicki Minaj and Honey Boo Boo are for something, I am against it.


So.  I have sent in my absentee ballot (so convenient) and I feel good about it.

I almost didn't vote, but remembered something one of my professors taught me:

"Women fought so hard to vote.  If you don't vote, you are not respecting the women who fought for you to have equal rights."

So, I am thankful for those women who gave me the chance to vote.  And for all the freedoms we have.  Mostly, I am thankful that I have never seen an episode of Honey Boo Boo and I will not ever be a Nicki Minaj fan.

Weird post, but I am hoping to still be friends with people who view things differently than I do :)


Anyway, vote if you can.  Or don't.  My friend always says, "If you don't vote, you lost the right to complain."  Please don't just vote so you can be a whiner...

Okay?

Okay.

And lets get down to serious business:  

I ordered my first real grown up coat!!!!  I got a mustard colored PEAcoat and can't wait for it to get here.  I've been rocking a $10 coat for the past four years.  It is red and a little bit thicker than a windbreaker.  I am so, so excited!!!!  I have always, forever wanted to have a peacoat and be like Ming, and now I am moving one step closer to being super cool like her.  YAY!

Happy Trails :)

Wasting Time

So...I made a huge mistake.

Huge.

I set up the converter box and antenna for my television so I could have something to watch besides DVDs.  That happened last night.  Thanks Ginger and Katie for the help :)  And random dude at Big Lots.

Once upon a time, I had the ability to prioritize things.  I would do crafts and clean while listening to music.  Now, I feel like I may never, ever, ever get another thing done.

I have 21 channels and I have learned the following in less that 15 hours:

• NPR has a tv station!!!
• There is a country music that plays only music videos!  Its like CMT in the 90s.  LOVE it.
• You no longer have to avoid putting up Halloween decor!  There are new ads for wall savers so none of your decorations "ruin your home".  "Want to have Halloween decorations, but don't want to ruin your walls?"  My question still remains, what kind of decorations are these people using??!??
•  CBS is not on my list...this saddened me at first, but then really encouraged me.  This way, I will not cheat and watch Survivor or The Amazing Race without my friend.  Well played.
• This election is super annoying.  Seriously.
• Watching other people cook is surprisingly interesting.
• Commercials are stupid.
• I cannot watch Dateline.  Or Revolution.  Or 48 hours.  Or Law and Order.  Or anything that could make me think someone is going to murder me tonight...
• Watching news in the morning and eating breakfast makes me feel like a real grownup. 
• I still hate Dancing With the Stars.
• The Voice...wow.  Christina Aguilera...You need to look at what you are wearing and think, "Does this leave ANYTHING to the imagination?  Gross.  Keep them in your shirt.

 So thus we see, Janalee's life has now been infiltrated and will be spent wasting time.  Wish me luck.
Oh!  Modern Family is already my favorite.  But if you think of other great shows, please let me know :)
