Go with the times

I haven't been here in awhile. Time to keep up on the blog, especially now since I have attached myself to twitter. There could be an off chance, that someone, somewhere might POSSIBLY read it. It seems the new year has started off rather sad. From numerous known persons passing rather suddenly, to the dismal economy, to the sad state of affairs around the world, it's just one spiral down after another. Those who know me know one of my favorite phrases is, "That's what keeps me out of prison, ugly shoes!" ~ the point being, the next person that makes the comment, "Be thankful you have a job" might be the person who unleashes my wrath to rethink ~ that ~ with the right prison ensemble, those shoes could be quite cute! Most people who have a job are thankful, QUIT REMINDING US! Whew...got that out of the way. Economists continue to speculate on the upturn of the economy, generally giving a window for economic upturn within 12 to 18 months. Yeah, right. Look it took 10 (yes 10) years for this country to recover from the great depression. 10 long, dreary, dreadful, years. 10 YEARS! Think 2 to 5 years at this point. Seriously.
Racing season will soon begin in about a month. I will be burning many candles praying to the Gods, along the way. Should you like to join my 'candle prayer chain' just let me know. The more prayers the merrier. I am also taking prayer requests as child #14 will be completing drivers training in a few weeks and with permit in hand will expect to have time behind the wheel. My wheel. If you see us on the road, wave, I will be in the back seat. Pray...and move out of the way.
