Random Ramblings
I don't know about you guys, but I am so not ready for Christmas. I haven't even begun my shopping and, most likely, I'll be rushing at the last minute to get those presents wrapped and displayed under the tree. I just know it.

I am not good with deadlines.

Maybe that's why I'm not a professional writer.

Another thing I want to bring up...my kids' school has adopted a soldier who was deployed to Iraq. She is part of a program in the military where soldiers who have no family, or have family who can't afford to send them things while deployed. Our school will be sending her care packages until she comes home in September.

We are not doing it to support the war (as some people have suggested), but are doing it to help a soldier in need. It's a way to give back to someone who needs reassurance and lets her know that someone back home cares.

But, someone always has to complain. Our PTL president has been fielding calls from disgruntled parents who accuse us of promoting war (this is a Catholic school mind you) and insist that we find another way to use our time. Whaaatt?

Wish I knew who it was.

Speaking of stupidity, here is a funny news item that I ran across this morning. Now if all drug pushers were as dumb as this one...

Man Calls 911 to Report Stolen Drugs
Tuesday, December 12, 2006 4:21 PM EST
The Associated Press

WICHITA, Kan. (AP) — A Wichita man called 911 to report he was the victim of an armed robbery. The theft? A pound of marijuana worth about $1,100 that he had been trying to sell at his home.

The victim told police Thursday that a buyer had pulled out a sawed-off shotgun and stole the drugs.

Police brought in a drug-sniffing dog to the house and located more marijuana and drug paraphernalia.

The victim was booked into Sedgwick County jail on several charges, including possession with the intent to sell drug.

The thief has not been found.

"I believe that no matter what you do, no matter how hard you try, you can not baptize cats." - Larry the Cable Guy

A Tennessee man and an Alabama man were both fighting in a war and were captured by the enemy.
"Before we put you to death," said the enemy, "do you have any last requests?"
"Yes," said the Alabaman. "Could you play 'Yeah, Alabama' before you shoot me?"
"Sure," said the enemy. "How about you, Tennessean?"
"Could you shoot me before you play 'Yeah, Alabama?'"
