2009....I will do better...

I promise that I will do better to post at lease twice a month, I may even include pictures...we shall see, but for all who have given up on me...come back, come back...

Hold our breath and hope for the best....and other..

Well a new leaf has turned. The US has a new Pres. and now all we can do is hold on and hope for the best. I did not vote for Obama, but now that he has one there is only one thing to do is wait it out and see how he does. Do I hope he fails miserably and runs the country into the ground...hell no. I hope the guy proves all the people wrong that are doubting him. Really the only thing that bugs me is that, if the guy is legit, why doesn't he just produce his bc and get it over with. I mean really come on...what is he hiding? Anyway, if I could ask him one thing, that would be it, why, why don't you be upfront and show your birth certificate.
Why all the hate towards the LDS church and mormons from all the gay activists? I mean you can look at one fact and realize...um maybe Californians really believe that marriage is between a woman and man. Taken from 2007 numbers, mormons make up less than 3% of the california population.....hum.....wow....that is amazing. The whole state of California voted yes to Prp 8 (good job CA) and yet the lds church is being blamed for the whole thing? Whatever. I don't get it...anyhow, things are changing always in the world and will continue to do so and won't ever stop...all we can do is be the best we can be and the rest of it is out of our hands....

Gazelle intense....well maybe

I hate debt. Credit card companies are right there in contention of being the devil with Barak Hussein "The Messiah" Obama. The only good thing about Obama and his freaking socialist buddies is that maybe they will forgive all my debt, but then I will have to turn all of my earnings into the "pool" and await my feedings from the government. I hate BO but I also hate CC comapnies. They make life so damn easy until the payment starts. Then they start you off with like 30 dollars and then increase it to 175 one day. I hate them. Dave Ramsey, he is a good listen. He offended me for a minute but I got over it and really think that his plan, which is nothing I didn't hear in my personal finance class at Snow College from Doug Dyreng, to get out of debt and build wealth will work. But damn that man in the mirror is a tough guy to conqueor. I am hell bent on becoming debt free, but not willing to give up stuff like cell phones, satellite TV and 42" LCD TVs (hey my 36 in tv went south and RC freaking Willey was gonna charge me to get it looked at even though I purchased their extended service plan so I cut my losses on that thing and upgraded, so sue me.) Dave would beat me to death, but since I have a snowballs chance in hell of getting beat my Dave Ramsey, I did it. But I still hear his voice in my head everytime I think about buying something. Maybe one of these times he will talk loud enough and I will actually listen. But we are implementing a budget that he suggests and then gonna do the cash only thing so life is gonna change but we need to get our finances in order, that is unless Obama wants to take all my CC debt too along with every other freedom the Constitution entitles me too...go ahead BO, take it and run you freaking socialist.

Again....its about freaking time!!!!!

Sorry,
After that last post thime just flew by and we were so busy I didn't even have time to think. But here we are now and I have a free second. So this post won't blow anyone away with knowledge or humor, more of a notification that yes, I am still here, I am still in the blogging sphere, and I will be back at you soon with something worth while. Just a quick note....HOW ABOUT THOSE SKINS!!!!!! One little tid bit, thanks to Roon, I am now Mayor Pro Tempe of Ferron until October 23 when we appoint a new mayor. This politics thing is freaking crazy!!!! Anyhow, I am alive, I am still blogging and I will give you smoething with more meat to chew on later....until then

Sighting of a rare and special thing....

Yes sightings of rare things do happen, some might even call it a miracle. But yes, it indeed happened. On July 13th, 2008 the Jackson family had Sunday dinner. No not popcorn, hotdogs, ramen or the like, a real sunday dinner with roast, mashed potatoes, a veggie and yorkshire pudding and of course gravy. The kids asked what this was...I reminded them that back when we used to live by the Bundersons in Springville we ate Sunday dinner like this every week. After we moved to Ferron, Sunday dinner hasn't been the same. In almost four years of living here, I think that on that fine day, of July 13th may have been the 5th time that we had Sunday dinner. Good things do come back to those who wait, I have been waiting for awhile for this and it was good. Note for anyone who cares...the raost isn't burnt, that was the result of a rub.... So for those of you out there , longing for sunday dinner of old...never give up hope, because miracles do happen!!!

Dog days...

Well here we are, first of July. No Football on TV only baseball. Not really a fan so, guess I have to go weed and do yard work I guess. Family is home so that is good, it is always nice to get them home and get back to regular life. Not really a fan of heat, starting to get heated up after a realatively cool start to summer. But guess we knew it was coming. Maybe I can sweat some of this weight off! Got Wii Fit, it is very interesting, seems to me more like a winter thing that would keep you active, too much to do outside while warm, but it is pretty fun none the less. I guess I will have to keep pulling the kids in the bike trailer on my bike in the dead heat of the day. Yes, Saylor wanted to go ride and so we did, actually not that bad but was warm no doubt.
