you are palegreen#98FB98 Your dominant hue is green. You're logical and steadfast, focused on figuring life out and doing what makes sense. You value being trusted because you know you're taking the time to figure things out and everyone should just follow you. Your saturation level is lower than average – You don't stress out over things and don't understand people who do. Finishing projects may sometimes be a challenge, but you schedule time as you see fit and the important things all happen in the end, even if not everyone sees your grand master plan. Your outlook on life…

Santa's knee off limits? A small town in New Zealand has banned children from sitting on Santa's knee because organisers fear liability if anything goes wrong. Instead, children in the South Island village of Mosgiel will be asked to sit next to Santa, on specially decorated “elf chairs”, as they discuss their Christmas wish list. Organiser Gail Thompson, secretary of the Mosgiel Business Association that is organising the event, says the precaution is “ridiculous” but necessary. She fears children could come back in at a later date with allegations about Santa's behaviour. “None of us really want the risk of…

From GWB’s speech in Nevada: “Free countries don’t develop weapons of mass destruction. Free countries don’t attack their neighbors. Free countries listen to the hopes and aspirations of the people who live in those countries. ” Let’s see… Who was the first country to develop a nuke (OK, so it was wartime, so I won’t really count this one)? Who *just* funded development of smaller nukes for regular use? Who isn’t destroying their chemical weapon stockpile per a signed treaty? Who *just* strengthened the PATRIOT act through clandestine measures, despite all the outcry against it? Who doesn’t allow demonstrators with…

The kitten is playing by 's chair. Rob looks down to see what he's doing. “Ahem,” says Rob. “Just what do you think you're doing??” Max is carrying and chewing on a shrink-wrapped package of six toy mice that he liberated from the top of my dresser. :::boggle::: Pushy little shit. One at a time isn't enough?? Now he wants me to throw the one I let him keep…

Yesterday we had the carpets cleaned and the only appointment I could get was during my meeting time! So weigh in was today and I'm definitely pleased: 270.8 – down 1.6 pounds for a total of twenty-one! So my plan for the week is hitting my points target every day except T-day. Tomorrow I'll eat damn well what I want, thank you, but I'll record and count it all. I'll be aware of portion sizes and not go crazy, but I'll allow myself to have that second serving of mashed potatoes and gravy if I want it. There's also an…

So we get a call this morning – Rob's progenitors are not going to be here for Tday. They have the flu. Or something, and of course refuse to go to the doctor. :/ I hope it's just a bad cold and they get better soon. On the other hand, we did get the place cleaned up. Too funny. Everything is done and looks good except for the computer room (we live there and it's majorly trashed), the spare bedroom (mostly storage and a weight machine we've yet to put together), and the garage (empty boxes, full boxes, half-full boxes,…

Had a wonderful day today. We picked up a table lamp that is exactly like the lamp we got three years ago – or was it four? I can't remember if we got it for our wedding, or if we bought it when we moved to the house, or what. Anyhow, I've been using it beside the bed, and now we have one just like it for 's side of the bed. It really looks a lot different. I got two new cd's today – Steve Miller Band Young Hearts, and a 2-cd collection, The Celtic Circle. Got 'em fairly…

Lewinsky Says Her Past Has Hurt Her Love Life NEW YORK (Reuters) – Monica Lewinsky says her White House liaison is a liability on the dating scene. The intern infamous for her affair with U.S. President Bill Clinton said in the December issue of GQ magazine that she dates occasionally but her romantic relationships have been short-lived. Lewinsky, 30, said in the interview she sympathized with the men she meets, saying she, too, would be intimidated by the tales of her past. “If I were a guy and I’d heard all those things about a girl, I don’t know that…
