Get the Job Done!!!!!!

I think we are all guilty of trying to save money by doing home improvements ourselves. And, why shouldn't we. Especially, after the staff at Lowe's & Home Depot make it sound soo easy. I have now realized, after many failed/unfinished projects, that either they are liars or we just didn't understand. I am sorry, when I say we, I mean our husbands.

I have had the same paint tape on my bedroom wall for almost 5 years. No joke! I tried to pull it off without success, due to being short. After my failed attempts of adding phone books, dictionaries and all I could think of to a step ladder - I asked my husband to help. He began to help, then stopped. I am not sure why, but that DAMN tape is still on my wall! This is just one of the many projects around the house that have been started, but never quite finished. And, heaven forbid if I try to hire someone to complete these jobs. Just be Real men, if you cannot do the job, tell us! We won't think less of you, in fact it would be the opposite.

However,I still would love it if someone could enlighten me on why men begin projects, but do not finish? But, I guess if someone could answer that, they would be rich.

It's been a long, a long time coming- But I know a change gonna come, oh yes it will !

I often frequent other blogs and leave comments. Recently, I have been sounding off on the Cafferty File on CNN.com This blog, led by Jack Cafferty, asks many profound questions,with some responses being aired on CNN during the Situation Room time slot. One of the questions today asked...."Does GOP have an edge over Democrats?." The question was asked because of (plastic) Mitt Romney dropping out of the race, clearly giving the message that McCain is the GOP nominee.

And, my response....
"No! The only reason the GOP has a nominee is due to the candidates, including McCain, being pretty lousy choices. However, I think those that have dropped out have made a wise descision, since a Republican will not be our next President. I truly believe, that the people of the United States want someone that will make honest changes. If you don’t believe me look at the votes. The Democratic Party has offered something the GOP race probably will never have, a woman and an African-American. If either one of these candidates (H. Clinton & B. Obama) is chosen as the next President, the face of America will forever be changed. Clearly, the Democratic race is far more appealing/superior than the GOP - where the name changes, but the face doesn’t.
Let’s keep moving forward."

So, if anyone reads this blog, I am asking that we all pay attention to this race and VOTE! Let's stop looking to the past, and instead to our future with CHANGE WE CAN BELIEVE IN!
