Bring the jobs back home!

Wednesday, June 17th, 2009

I’ve been hearing on the news that President Obama has sent an economic stimulus package to Congress for approval, and it is mostly tax cuts and what I assume is rebate checks to the consumers (I haven’t heard details.) I’ve heard that the Republicans are concerned that it will create more debt; as if the past President didn’t create more debt on his watch! I’m wondering if any of it is geared towards bringing the overseas jobs back home again. I know that the entire world needs more jobs, but we need to take care of “our own” too! “We” can’t take care of the entire world if “we” are falling apart too!

DisneyWorld vacation

Thursday, June 11th, 2009

A few of my friends and I just got back from a vacation at DisneyWorld. We flew down and took a shuttle from the airport to the condo that we were renting, and then used the condo’s courtesy shuttle to go from the condo to DisneyWorld and back again. There were lots of restaurants within walking distance of the condo so we never had to rent a car.

What a great trip that was! I loved walking around and people watching more than anything else; that is something that I seem to enjoy doing a lot.

I think that the Haunted Mansion was my favorite attraction at the Magic Kingdom. And at Epcot Center I really liked the boat ride through “The Land” where you ride a boat through some greenhouses and listen to them talk about new ways to grow food. I thought that was very interesting! And at MGM I think my favorite attraction was the Backstage tour. But I really enjoyed watching the parades, and all of the streetside performances. So much fun! I would LOVE to live down there and work at DisneyWorld! Maybe I’ll apply for a job there and IF I get it then I’d move.

Don’t be rude

Friday, June 5th, 2009

I’m all for advances in technology; I embrace it! But I do have to say that I think it is very rude for people to be involved in text messaging while pretending to have a conversation with someone else. If I am eating dinner with someone at a restaurant, I would be highly offended if that person started text messaging someone else, and I think I would get up from the table and go home! I also think that text messaging while driving is very dangerous and should be illegal!
