My American Idol review so far
We have not watched Tuesday nights episode yet but have it recorded. Last night there were 3 people who got in that Grant and I agreed shouldn't have. One was the white guy with the hat on, the black guy who I believe was also wearing a hat and glasses, and a girl that I cannot think of a description at this point but was not that good! I beleive that these people will leave during Hollywood week but still don't understand why they even put them that far!

My pictures
Ok, so for sometime I've been trying to get my pictures on a web album. I didn't care for picassa that much so now I'm trying out flickr which I seem to like! Please check out some photos that I posted. I was thinking of posting a bunch of photos from long ago even and just decided to start with the pics that are current.

American Idol
Grant and I being the nerds we are, are very into American Idol and have been waiting since the last show for the new season! I'm so super excited it's finally here!
C'mon Giants!
I was dissapointed by the giants losing yesterday. I know many who I talked to who felt the same way. Is it because McNabb is a snubb ass? Probably so eh' Well, now that the Vikings and the Giants let me down I'll just have fun at my superbowl party eating apps and playing games!
E-Mail Quote of the week!
Future. That period of time in which our affairs prosper, our friends are true and our happiness is assured.
- Ambrose Bierce
We are approved by God, we don’t have to win the approval of others and look good in their eyes. We are not perfect people. Too many of us take ourselves too seriously and God not seriously enough.

-John C. Maxwell This week the quotes don't completely mesh together but both are relative to what I'm feeling this week. The first quote is true to me except our happiness is assured. I think that we tend to not let things bring us down as much when we get older. We know that as we age some things are pretty trivial in the grand scheme of things but I also believe things can happen to people that happiness isn't always going to be assured..Right. If happiness is a state of mind then I do beleive as we get older that bad things aren't going to rattle us as much as they might have because don't we just know that bad things are inevitable and do keep us grounded?.?.? I do beleive that friendships are so much more meaningful and people you do take on as friends are so much more true to us. I remember having friends for years then they would end over some silly little trivial thing that would not rattle me today nor would be worth ending a friendship over. I have to say that I love life more and more the older I get and I used to think it was this big scary thing. I enjoy having a little better grasp on things and my actions...except for the occasional slip ups The next quote oh so true for me. I worry a lot what people think of me. Many know I'm very over the top and can be a tish crazy....no, really it's true! I can get very embarrased by this myself believe it or not and have asked God so many times in my life to make me less annoying. Well again as I've gotten older I've naturally eased up but still have those "OH TRUDY" moments. I've learned to think of some of my craziness as a blessing that I can just let loose and am not afraid to let people know who I really am which I realize is not a fun thing for people who cannot. One thing that I care to much what people think is my home. I want it to be when people walk in they think to themselves "WOW, this girl keeps a clean home!" Is it really necessary..NO! I also want people to feel 100% comfortable. You all know the saying people don't come to see your home they come and see you..I totally beleive this and am comfortable in anyones home I just am scared people will judge me on my home and I'm crazy enough that I'm so scared I'll be judged on my home. Some of the time I spend being crazy clean I could try and focus some of that time on God eh' Hope everyone has a terrific week! Trudy

Green in the office
For Christmas I recieved a page a day calender and the calender has a link where one can go online and get a page a day of your choice everyday. I recieve the green version online and thought this was a good resource for people who work in an office setting and need these everday products. I will not buy certain eggs because they come in a styrofoam container. It's little things like this that we can make changes for the better!
paper, rock, scissorsRecycling only makes sense if consumers “close the loop” on the other end of the manufacturing process by buying products made from recycled materials. Offer to order the supplies for your office or department, and shop around to show you can save money, or at least spend the same amount. Don’t forget about paper towels and toilet paper.
get going: If you work for a large company, you may encounter red tape, but stick to your guns. If you have a choice of suppliers, try:

I sure hope that whoever is the rightful winner of the MN Senate seat will comeout the winner in the end. This is really getting so nuts! I cannot beleive the money Hollywood loons have given to Al Franken. It's interesting to know that many people that voted for Obama in Mn did NOT vote for Franken.
Saturday Night Live alum and ex-Air America radio broadcaster Al Franken has raised more money than any of the other candidates for the U.S. Senate seat from Minnesota, including the Republican incumbent Norm Coleman. Now that the dollar numbers have been logged for the second quarter (April through June) of the past six months of fundraising, Franken has tapped Rosie O'Donnell, Bill Maher, Dan Aykroyd, Robin Williams, Ed Norton, Harold Ramis and Meg Ryan. That followed a first-quarter performance for the liberal comedian that included contributions from Tom Hanks, Paul Newman, Jason Alexander and Larry David. The AP says Franken's friends in the entertainment field helped catapult him to a "surprising" lead in second-quarter money: about $1.9 million, compared with only $1.6 million for Coleman, and $750,000 for other Democratic candidate Mike Ciresi. In fact, Coleman is using Franken's Hollywood connection as a GOP fundraising tool: In a letter to prospective contributors, Coleman wrote: "I need your help to fight back against Hollywood's liberal elite [who] sit atop the Democratic Party's elite clique of big benefactors." But Coleman, who is considered among the Republicans' most vulnerable incumbents, is relying on a more nefarious source of cash: political action committees, raising $367,000 from PACs in the second quarter. More than a dozen PACs have already given him $10,000, the maximum combined contribution for the primary and general election. By contrast, Franken raised just $11,000 in PAC money.

I also got my information from the drudge report and clicking on different newpapers.
Not to metion, David Letterman, George Clooney, Tom Cruise, John Travolta on and on...How is it that democrats always rag on republicans for being the money crazed and they are the ones winning because of money??? Again, I don't think much of Colman either and probably would've voted for him just to keep Franken out. Maybe I wouldn't have been able to vote who knows. I guess this country is already kinda turned into a joke so one more loon isn't going to damage us any more than we already are!
