Butterfly Musings

survived another blessed day at work… it actually was quite a nice day.  i can’t complain. 

i can’t complain about too much, in fact.  i have a home, a job, and a great family.  i have really been impacted over the last couple of weeks by the downfall of our economy and way of life.  in case you haven’t noticed, things are about to be different.  every day some asinine news spews forth from the white house, and nobody seems to want to stop it.  i mean, could somebody just stand up and say “hey, does anybody notice that things are getting worse?”   hmm… well, i can honestly say that i didn’t vote for him anyway.  although i cheered for him in the beginning, being the good sport that i am, i now just look forward to the next conservative administration.   i think we are all being faced with the challenge of figuring out what really matters in life.  our finances are being pared down to a paltry minimum, we are all going to be spending a lot more time at home, and the fortunate ones of us are going to be working more years to make up for the retirement money the government has lost for us.  when it comes down to it, i think many people will turn to the finer things- friends, family, and most importantly, God.  maybe this is the opportunity to get a wakeup call.  either that or the downfall of another empire.

well, that was heavy.  i’ll be you’re wondering what kind of picture could possible go along with that.  fortunately for you, it has NOTHING to do with my rampage.  it’s kind of happy.  early in the green project, i saw this car drive by and was cursing myself for not being like a boy scout and always being prepared.  this weekend i drove through the hood and ended up at the bywater barbecue (which is an interesting shade of chartreuse) and lo AND behold, there sat this cute little car.  so what we have here are 2 shades of green duking it out.  and a happy little fabulous car to boot.
