Two more days . . .

Until April Vacation. I can't wait. I have a bunch of spring projects lined up, like splitting the wood for next winter (I'm still burning the wood from this winter . . .it gets cold at night), raking the thrush and sand off the lawn, cleaning out the garage from clutter like firewood, insulation, and all kinds of other crap, and possibly putting some mulch down. Today I worked outside a little bit, and I am happy to say we can finally open our front door--the frost, although not "out" by any means, has gone down enough to allow me to fix the door. Its pretty messed up, but at least I can get in my own house now. I also swept out the sandbox that was Amanda's garage bay. My garage bay, if you remember, is filled with a cord of oak, so I park in our crappily down, ultra heaved driveway.

For the second day in a row, I came directly home from school and painted. I got the second coat on the trim in the baby's room done today, and tomorrow, with a little help, we'll get the second coat of the walls done. Then we can do touch ups, clean the floor, and start bringing in some of the Bean's new toys, books, and other logistical items. For as much as I hate painting, I have to say I find it very relaxing to paint, alone, while I listen to "All Things Considered" on NPR. Although, I have to admit, I get peeved at all the liberal hippy crap that goes on in this country. Also, I just continue to become more and more aware at how inept and antichrist-like our president is. FOR EXAMPLE: At the very beginning of Bush's "term," (I put that in quotations because he didnt "really" get elected) he rejected the Kyoto Treaty--a treaty that would have forced the U.S. to cut back on their greenhouse emissions, and thus made the U.S. a more responsible entity in the fight against global warming. Now, since the idiot is pretty much a lame duck, he's saying that we should, in fact, start to seriously consider cutting greenhouse emissions--now he says it, of course, because he's on his way out and he's done all his "dirty dealings" with the big businesses he's been in bed with for the past 8 years. Does he actually think the American people are that stupid that we dont realize what he's doing? He didnt want to help the environment before when he was president, since all of his friends (and Bush himself) were in big oil, etc. But now that he's leaving the presidency, he wants to make it difficult for other people to rape the earth as much as he has. How can any intelligent, moralistic American not think this guy is a total chode? Can you tell me that??

I bet he eats at Craparita's . . .
