I want to go to Ireland too!!! I was actually looking at that last night.
Ireland is beautiful and can see why it is on your wish list!
My friend is going to run the 1/2 marathon in San Antonio this November.
Good luck this weekend in your triathlon.
Yay…I’m so glad you did this fun tag and thank you for all of the sweet things you said about me. It was so fun getting to know more about you.
I can’t help but watch The Bachelor and The Bachelorette either. That and the Kardashian’s are definitely guilty pleasures of mine. The Biggest Loser is an excellent show.
On The Boarder and Panera…yum!
I wish you the best of luck with your triathalon this weekend and I know you’ll be great.
I love that your wish list was both fun, yet practical. The Waterford champagne flutes are beautiful and it would be nice to get a new purse that starts with an L or a C ;) A Roth IRA is a good one and don’t get me started on the oil spill. There is no excuse for that.
We’re passionate about a lot of the same things and I say “right” at the end of sentences too. I can’t help it.
I love the saying that you learned from your grandma and she was a wise woman.
I’m thinking of you with your big move!
Haha that's pretty fun, I might fill it out =) I'm going to just say that I disagree with you about the way the government is handling things. But what IS interesting is that James Cameron has more deep-sea exploratory equipment etc. than BP or the government lol
Ah here's what I'm looking for: So the thing is the government is relying on BP because basically the government lacks the money and resources to do it themselves...the problem is that the oil industry was so loosely regulated before this administration...that's how these things happen, and this is the sort of thing that happens when we leave things to the "free market"

ROBIN (Caller): Hi, thanks for taking my call. I believe that the federal government was supposed to declare this a national disaster and take it away from BP or take control of what BP was doing right away, and the reason they're not doing that is BP can be considered criminally negligent, and so can the government, because they gave BP an exemption from environmental studies under outhouses and hiking trails to put this rig in. And that is why they're dragging their feet.
But they ought to be careful because the federal government can also be sued by these various states for negligence, as I said. So they should just be taking it - taking control.
CONAN: David Schaper, Robin is certainly not alone. By that she's going back to our conversation about MMS, the minerals agency, the federal agency.
SCHAPER: Well, unfortunately, the fact of the matter is, as Commander Thad Allen said yesterday, okay, if not BP, then who? The government really doesn't have the expertise to, you know, cap a spewing oil well 5,000 feet below the surface of the sea.
You know, the government doesn't have all of the resources necessarily to skin oil out of the water and to lay boom and do the necessary things to get the oil out of the water and out of the marshlands. They...
CONAN: David?
SCHAPER: Yeah, and they have to rely on BP, even if they don't want to.
Ugh... I thought the same thing about the Court Yard Hounds CD... I want my Chicks back! Luckily we're seeing them in Chicago on the 19th! I may fill this out... because ya know... I haven't blogged about anything in a year haha.
