Is America Waking Up?

Is America "waking up"?  I really think so.  I for one, never had much interest in politics and was always thankful we could have representatives that could do that for us.  However, they haven't done such a good job have they?  A lot of us out here that have never been interested much before are really paying attention.  We are watching programs like Glen Beck on the Blaze Network.  I watch it because I don't feel like I'm being lied to there.  I'm sick of what I've seen happening in our country.  I must say that the Affordable Care Act is one big reason for people "waking up".  I work every day where I'm in contact with the public and I've yet to hear anyone who I've come in contact with tell me that this "Act" has been good for them.  That's just the truth.  The fact that I am now paying more attention tells me that many others are also.  (This is because I've always hated politics.)  I never even knew who Glenn Beck was until recently.  Now, I'm watching his show and others on the Blaze when I can. 

I realize that maybe no one even reads this stuff but that's not really the reason for my being here.  I'm here for me, as selfish as that may sound.  I'm not hurting anyone else by voicing my opinions here and I figure anyone who doesn't like it does not have to read it.  I'm fine with that. 

It's nice though, that I have the right to be here.  HHmmm.  Wonder how long that will remain true?

Things I'm Thinkin'

O.K., I've had this cold since New Years Eve when I started to get a little cough.  It proceeded to get worse.  I missed 2 days of work, which doesn't break my heart but wasn't in my plan by any means.  I went back to work Sat., which was only until noon, thank God.  I still don't feel well and it is Sunday.  My Christmas tree is still up because I have not felt up to taking it down.  I'm now considering leaving it up until next year.  Ha!  I miss seeing my Granddaughter because I don't want to expose her to this nasty crap. 

I've been watching the forecast, which never ends up being very correct for the area in which I live.  We were told we might get up to a foot of snow, which sent the town of Urbana to Walmart to get all kinds of necessities.  I stopped for a few things on my way home from work on Sat., as I often do and the place was lined up like Christmas at the registers.  With the way I was feeling, I considered just leavin' it all and walking out.  But, I stayed like a good little shopper.  Spent the time in line people watching and waving at people I knew on their way by me. 

So, are we going to get the snow or not?  Stay tuned.  I'll know for sure after we get it.
