I wonder if my neighbors did this just to get me angry? I mean, we live “out in the country” but we don’t have to be rednecks! This brings all new meaning to the word, “flowerbed.”

The summer blockbusters are starting to get the advance publicity and commercials. All the talk show hosts are having movie stars as guests who are there to promote their new movies.

I’m looking forward to some great new action films, like the new Star Wars and the new Terminator. In a few weeks the new Transformers will be in theaters. This will be a summer of big movies, I can already tell.

Lately I’ve gone back and read over some of the blogs I have written.  I noticed one thing in particular and that is that they sound a little negative.  I think part of the reason is that I am obsessed with the news.  It’s the first thing I put on when I get home from work and it’s the first thing I look at on the computer.  CNN has become my obsession.  Which isn’t that bad considering it’s good to know what is going on in the world.  But now it is time for a change.  I am going to make a conscious effort to be more positive and upbeat in my blogs.  No more horror stories about the Craigslist killer or anything of the like.  We’ll see how far it goes and how many funny, positive blogs I can write before going back to my obsession with CNN.

I just found out from a friend of mine that he and his wife are headed to the Bahamas for a four day weekend.  How great for them that is.  I couldn’t help but feel a little envious.  I know that’s bad but I tried to contol it.  I think I’m doing a little too much of working and not quite enough of living.  I feel myself becoming envious of others that are going on vacation and losing their jobs.  How funny is that to envy someone who just lost their job??  I think it’s time to take my wife to her favorite vacation destination.  You guessed it Las Vegas!  Time to stop writing and start packing.

I guess everyone has a mother or mother figure, and some of us lucky ones have more than one. I have a mother in law and a step mother.And I cannot neglect the mother of my children.

So I’m on the hook for four Mother’s Day gifts. I don’t mind at all. In fact, I get a kick out of buying gifts for my mothers and doing a little somethng nice for them on their special day.
