If I hear one more person wish me a "happy new yearS" I just might scream. Why do people say that? When I hear it I want to ask..."Happy New Year's what? Day? Night? Week?" I mean really...I was on the train this morning when I heard the conductor (is that what MARTA calls them?) say "Good morning and Happy New YearS (while stressing the hell outta that S) your time is...." I was like Jesus be grammar class. It's always bothered me when folks say things like "I'm going to Burger KingS" or "Girl yeah I shop at KrogerS." Like do people not understand that adding an 's' to a proper noun makes it possessive? (with the apostrophe of course) I learned this in like 3rd grade, but maybe it was exclusive to my school or something, ionno.
Anyhow, I am redoing my house for 2008. I've changed the color of the bathroom downstairs and working on the two upstairs. I've put up a border and mural in Alex's (<-- notice the apostrophe) room and as soon as I finish his room I'm starting on Sydnee's (<--notice the apostrophe). I think I want to redo our bedroom too, but I haven't decided on what scheme I want to follow. I'm sure there are bigger decisions in life that need to be made, so I wont toil over that one for too long. I mean, there IS an election coming up.
Speaking of which, can I just say that I'm tired of hearing about the IOWA primary? (Or primaryS - spelled incorrectly on purpose) I know the importance b/c it sets the proverbial tone for the upcoming Presidential election, but I mean really? They were on Good Morning America talking about the amount of mail and phone calls these people are getting, and I can promise you...I'd be ticked the hell off if it were me. I mean, campaigning is one thing, but don't overwhelm people with materials and phone calls while they are trying to prepare dinner. That makes ME not want to vote for anyone other than myself (which is what I did in the last Presidential election). I surely didn't want Bush to return...and I wasn't too fond of Kerry either. However, being that I do have the right to vote and people died for me to have that right...I politely wrote myself in as a candidate. Apparently, I was the only one that thought I'd make a helluva President. LOL I digress...
Anyway folks, I need to start 2008 off right...and that means I need to pretend like I'm working!
G'day folks!!!
Lady Doss
P.S. In no way am I the end all be all of the English language. LOL
