• January 5th

  Today will be another 12 hours at work.  I have a very solid offer to apply at another police department.  I will be going there Tuesday afternoon.  Although I do not have this new job yet, and although it is not a sure thing that I will, I have already changed the schedules for the next two weeks in order to get the four days of sick time I have earned.  That way I won't just lose it!!  It's a good thing I feel so confident about this job change!! 

  I got SO EXCITED the other day when I discovered that a new Steve & Barry's opened in Birmingham.  The closest one had been in Huntsville.  My step mother and I both wanted to go and check it out, but couldn't muster up enough desire for the long drive!!  Since I had to be in Birmingham the other day, I went to check it out.  Well, the main store wasn't open yet (in what used to be a Wal-Mart) - but, the "liquidation center" where another, smaller store had been in the same shopping center, was open.  Even though they were very limited in what they had due to the Christmas insanity, it was GREAT!!  I got a pair of "Bitten" jeans for $8.95!!  They really have a good fit.  Of course, even though I got them in Short--they will have to be cut off about 6 inches.  Not their fault, I am a Hobbitt!!!  I saw a T-shirt I should have bought.  It will drive me nuts till I go back and get it.  It says: I AM IN SHAPE  --  ROUND IS A SHAPE  !!!!!  Too perfect for me!!! 

  Once upon a time, I was very politically motivated.  I have worked on several political campaigns over the years--local, state and national----red, blue and independant---I have always chosen my political battles by the PERSON instead of by the PARTY.  My dad was a true "yellow dog Democrat".  I prefer to figure things out one person, one race at a time.  It is hard to be a true open minded voter in this day and age.  If I don't jump into one color or the other with both feet--each "side" thinks I belong to the other!!!  I just can't bring myself to swear by any one party or program---I couldn't even bring myself to vote by size in the last state wide elections!!  The lady who was a big gal like me just couldn't win my vote--simply because she was corrupt!!  How DARE a fat gal like me not vote for the fat gal!!!!!
