Why is it that no matter where I go, no matter what I'm dressed like, no matter who I am with, people think I'm an employee. It happened today at Hobby Lobby. A woman asked if I could get her some spray paint out of the locked cage. It's happened at WalMart, Home Depot, Office Depot, grocery stores, you name it. I can understand it when I'm in my work clothes and I'm at CompUsa or AutoZone (the uniforms are basically the same--red polo shirt and black pants). When I'm in normal clothes and in a place like WalMart where all the employees wear blue smocks, I don't get it.

OK, I got the domain www.LaDonnasWorld.com as a gift from Marcus. I set up the mail-to link on my template for the new address, BUT I CAN'T TYPE WORTH *@#?!!!! If anybody has been trying to email me, my link should work right now. I'm such a dork!

I got an email last night from a guy I went to CollegeAmerica with informing me he was getting married. I just spoke to him on Christmas Eve and didn't even know he was seriously dating anybody. Wow, blew my mind. He's getting married in August. He's had some really bad experiences in the relationship department. I hope this one works out for him.

Ok, I'm lame, I know. I'm also way behind everybody else. I've seen these hearts all over the web and I finally found where everyone was making them. Of course, I just had to make a few. How fun!

This has got to be one of the stupidest ideas I've heard coming out of a legislator lately. This was the topic of discussion on The Sports Zoo on the drive home. Why the envy? Don't professional athletes pay enough of a percentage of their wages to taxes already? Why make visiting athletes pay even more? To fund computers in schools? What a joke. I'm sorry, but I'm one of those people that think education is funded more than enough. I've seen the waste. Does the dude (Rep. Peter Groff, D-Denver) who proposed this have some sort of Robin Hood complex? Did he want to be a professional athlete and couldn't cut it, so let's get back at them now? Was he bullied by athletes in school? One caller coined the proposed tax "taxation by occupation." If it gets approved, which group of high-paid professionals is next? I think taxes are too high as they are. I think athletes get paid too much money, but I'm not for overtaxing them to punish them. It's just stupid.
