"I don't have to tell you things are bad. Everybody knows things are bad. It's a depression. Everybody's out of work or scared of losing their job. The dollar buys a nickel's work, banks are going bust ... and there's no end to it. We know the air is unfit to breathe and our food is unfit to eat ... as if that's the way it's supposed to be. We know things are bad -- worse than bad. They're crazy. It's like everything everywhere is going crazy ...

"I want you to get mad! I don't want you to protest. I don't want you to riot -- I don't want you to write to your congressman because I wouldn't know what to tell you to write. I don't know what to do about the depression and the inflation ... all I know is that first you've got to get mad. You've got to say, 'I'm a human being ... My life has value!'

"So I want you to get up now. I want all of you to get up out of your chairs. I want you to get up right now and go to the window. Open it, and stick your head out, and yell, 'I'm as mad as hell, and I'm not going to take this anymore!' "


I like that.

I really need to do my running tonight, but we have Lily's vet appointment and I don't want to feel all rushed, or be late. Maybe we'll get home early enough that I'll have time. Louie needs it anyways. It'll be mother-son time.

It's so funny taking the two of them out on their leashes together. I did it for the first time this morning. They are such complete opposites. Louie with his long, skinny legs, long nose,  and black, Lily with her short stubby little legs, small, short face, and light colored.

Lily keeps getting more used to things each day. We're only on day 3 of having her, but she is such a different dog from when we brought her home. Her little personality is coming out, and she has definitely grown attached to us. She's one big baby, that's for sure.
 
I'm soooooo sleepy!  Lily had me up 3 different times last night. She threw up a few times last night. That's why I'm glad to get her to the vet tonight and make sure everything is okay. We're getting her shots, and some flea medicine for her and Lou, to be safe. Maybe we'll head over to Petco after and pick her out a different collar. Hers seems to itch her. Plus, we want to get her a pretty sparkly one, since she's our little girl. =) 

Be prepared for many many posts about Lily. Who's going to come over and meet her next? 


Sean's b-day is coming up. It's one week from tomorrow. He claims he's going to be 28. He's such a weirdo.  He'll be 24.  We're going to go to Six Flags on the 11th for his b-day. It should be fun! I'm excited to see some animals =)  I've never actually been there during regular hours. I've only been there for Fright Fest in like 2002, and for Holiday in the Park last year. It should be Fright Fest when we go this time too...

Anyways, I think we're going out to dinner in downtown Pleasanton on Friday, and then maybe out to a bar there. I hope people make an effort to wish him a happy b-day or show up for any of the festivities.

and..... I won't even have his birthday present in time because of our stupid car taking up our money. I need to save up for a few more weeks. ugh! I could always get part of it now, I suppose. I'm just getting him a bunch of clothes....

Oh and I finally started school again. It's so nice to be back in. Although, I have no idea what is paying for it right now, which is not good. I guess we'll figure it out!


I'm bored.
