It's Not What You Know, It's Who You Know

Over the course of the past month, we have had the dark cloud of uncertainty over the Adams household. What's going to happen when Travis goes to court? Are we going to fly under the radar with our car insurance? Are we going to be sued for everything we have? (which is not much, but it is ours - and was not acquired by someone spreading the wealth, but I digress!) So for the short version for those out there that have offered your support - We will not have car insurance after the end of November - I guess we will have to get it from some fly by night, insurance Agent from the hood, but that's fine as long as we can get it! We so far have not been sued - I think the gentleman that Travis hit has two years to decide if he is going to do that - but so far the word is that our insurance was "very nice and got him a rental car while he picked out a new car" - let me just say - I don't know that I would have been that nice! And Travis went to court on Tuesday night and was able to plead to reckless driving - he has to pay a fine (equivalent to about 4 new pair of jeans and the Ugg boots I just ordered for myself!) and attend some defensive driving class - which he has been to so many times for work that he should have a lifetime certification already! I am so humbly grateful to God I could just cry. And so could Travis - what a blessing from Above, because Lord knows and Travis knows too that he very well could have ended up under the Ft. Valley jail.

Today's Political Observation

According to various news outlets the RNC has spent $150,000 on Sarah Palin's waredrobe. Which has been spun to seem outrageous by the Democrats (of course)! But if you ask me they got quite a bargain 'cause sister is going around looking like a Million bucks! So really haven't they saved $850,000? Just sayin!

Notes from Afghanistan

With all of the political talk, campaigning and war protesting going on I wonder what is really going on over in Afghanistan and Iraq. I have decided to post a quote from my brother, Cpt. Jamie Bryant - he is currently at Bagram Air Base in Afghanistan - I hope he doesn't mind - if he does - too bad, I'm older and what I say goes!

This is in response to an email joke about Sarah Palin and Hilary Clinton and then he goes on a little bit...

That is pretty funny. You would get every Soldier if it was Palin. We all love her. I do not know all of you on the address line, but I just wanted you to know that even though you hear in the news that it has been a bloody year in Afghanistan (which is true), you can be sure that we have kept them busy digging graves for themselves as well. And sometimes shooting them as they dig the grave and getting a two for one deal (that is for you Uncle Charlie. I can see you laughing your butt off right now) Say a little prayer for all of the Soldiers here and just know that they are giving it everything that they can and shedding blood for you (and the pansy liberals) each and everyday.

So please try to remember to pray everyday for our soldiers - they are working hard at establishing Democracy over there so that our world is safer - I think we forget the real reason they are there.

I love you little bro - keep your chin up and thanks for all you do. beck

Economic Stimulus Plan

With all this talk about the economic crisis, I am having an uncontrollable urge to single handidly try to revive the retail market! I don't know what it is about someone (or more like my bank balance) telling me that I can't spend any money, but I just get the sudden urge to remodel the kitchen, finish the bonus room and redecorate the kids rooms - all this weekend! What could I do to quench my desire for some retail therapy? I say it involves my laundry room piggy bank and my favorite overpriced clothing boutique and a pair of 7 for all mankind jeans! Bravo to me I have just done my part to stimulate the economy!
