Today I am 26…..Did I shave my legs for this?

Filed under: Welcome — MEGHAN WALCZAK @ 10:09 am

I woke up at 5:45 this morning, the same as every weekday. I grabbed my towel and hopped into the shower. I was in a particularly happy mood. I got ready for work and on the way in, the Preston and Steve show were making fun of  Mo-Nique for not shaving her legs before the Golden Globe awards last weekend. The tabloids got all sorts of close up shots of her man legs. I plugged my Iphone into my car stereo and listened to that Deanna Carter Song “Did I shave my legs for this”. I was still jamming out to that song when I realized that I only shaved one leg today. I usually shampoo my hair first, then shave my right leg and then my left leg and then wash my face followed by all the rest of the necessary processes. I just shaved my right leg, and then went on to washing my face and lathering my loofa. Not that I have anything planned for my birthday tonight, but I think I’ll go home and shave tonight. Is this a sign that now, I really am a grown-up?

Tender is the Night by F. Scott Fitzgerald

Filed under: Welcome — MEGHAN WALCZAK @ 10:14 am

When I read some of the quotes from this book, I instantly fell in love. I’m going to check it out today.

“He looked at her and for a moment she lived in the bright blue worlds of his eyes, eagerly and confidently. ”

“He knew that there was passion there, but there was no shadow of it in her eyes or on her mouth; there was a faint spray of champagne on her breath. She clung nearer desperately and once more he kissed her and was chilled by the innocence of her kiss, by the glance that at the moment of contact looked beyond him out into the darkness of the night, the darkness of the world.”

Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab

Filed under: Welcome — MEGHAN WALCZAK @ 11:14 am

Umar Farouk Abdulmatallab, is a Nigerian native who apparently was recruited by Al-Qaeda while travelling in Yemen. Not only did U.S. intelligence agents know that Al-Qaeda was operating in Yemen, and working with a Nigerian native to bomb a plane, but HIS OWN FATHER notified a U.S. embassy and other agencies that his son had “become radicalized” and “is involved in some sort of jihad.”   This guy, applied for a British Student visa, and a U.S. Student Visa in 2008 .  Apparently, on his applications the names of schools that do not exist were listed. The British Immigration department, noticed this on his application and denied it. The U.S. department, granted Abdulmatallab’s visa.  Christmas day arrives, and not only was his ticket paid for in cash, but the man carried NO luggage on a transcontinental flight! He passes through security checks, with highly a explosive chemical compound known as PETN sewn into his underwear. He took his seat and lit the substance on fire, within seconds other passengers had heard a pop and smelled smoke. One young male passenger jumped over rows of seats and swiftly tackled Abdulmutallab.

Even if all of the details our government learned of prior to Christmas day had never amounted to anything, couldn’t we have at least put his name on a no fly list? Did the U.S. Embassy in Nigeria report the father’s telephone call to the counter terrorism unit? Their website clearly states the use of inter agency communication and planning to prevent and protect our country against acts of terrorism. WTF happened?

Holiday Spending 2009

Filed under: Welcome — MEGHAN WALCZAK @ 11:11 am

The Christmas holiday is fast approaching and I am really stuck on how to tackle the issue of my budget and the slim pickings of cool gifts. I have to buy Christmas gifts for my two daughters, my step-son, my little brother and my sister-in-law, and my parents. The cost of everything has gotten so high, that before you’ve even bought anything really good, you’ve gone over budget. Take for instance the Nintendo Wii games, at $49 per game , a $300 budget per child is spent in only 6 games! This season, I’m not seeing as many commercials on television for exciting new toys. I’m not seeing anything in ads that really “pop” as a great gift idea! I’m not a very good gift giver. I try very hard to pick out unique or really cool items, and they have to be of quality. On the other hand, I hate when people give you Christmas Lists full of nothing but things I don’t want to buy for them because they are ridiculously expensive or I know they aren’t very “gifty” like  gift cards to Burger King! How about something that doesn’t cost a fortune, but would mean a lot? For the cooking enthusiast, I would think maybe an indoor herb garden, and stuff their stocking with utensils??  Am I wrong here??

Highlander Movie 2010

Filed under: Movies — MEGHAN WALCZAK @ 11:35 am

I personally can’t wait for this movie. I have always been a Highlander fan, despite the lackluster acting skills of Lambert & Adrian Paul,  the “budget-esque” special effects of the films (YES I MEAN THE SOURCE) . I still love the story idea and can’t wait to see the new point of view the script writers and movie director put on this new adaptation! It is true a lot of books are being interpreted into film and plenty of older films are being re-made, isn’t that the fun of Hollywood today? Even though, movies like The Day The Earth Stood Still, and The Taking of Pelham 123, weren’t the best things to happen to old ideas; we still have The Women and The Last House on the Left and I think it’s The Highlander’s turn now!
