Ok people, do your research.
A. The gas tax holiday won't pass
B. The economic experts almost all say it's "political pandering", bad policy, will probably raise gas prices, will put people out of work, will stop road construction, etc
C. As much as gas prices suck umm yeah it could be worse, the news mentioned my Dutchies... they pay FOUR DOLLARS A GALLON IN TAXES ALONE.   We must use a hell of a lot more than they do.  So we create the demand and hurt the environment, but they're paying in taxes what we're paying total... so umm yeah we have it easy.

In summary, if you're voting and are making your decisions based on things like who CLAIMS they'll give you a few months break on gas taxes (without telling you what it will really cost you) or who has a bad former minister or who might be a Muslim (yeah I'm hearing on the news that e-mail is still going around -- I never got it, I have smart friends), then do me a favor and educate yourself before going to the polls.

Mijn Favoriet and I had a chat and decided that today I am not an American, so just in time for Koninginnedag, I must unofficially denounce my American citizenship (sorry can't do it officially, there IS an election this year) just so no opponents can try to cause me any grief -- I DENOUNCE AND REJECT YOU ALL.  I'm now a non-Dutch-Speaking Dutchie so as not to be tainted by you back baring ev0l corrupt sinners!  Once you clean up your act and stop being so disgusting I'll consider rejoining you!  Sorry but if Mijn Favoriet has lost his faith in American girls, I cannot be one.   Really, showing skin... is nothing sacred anymore?  YOU ARE RUINING THE WORLD!  NOTHING IS MORE URGENT THAN THIS, COVER UP!

And didn't know he was in the car...

But targeted him deliberately.

I think the Taliban needs to work on it's PR.
And where is this Afghanistan place?  I never hear about it...

Wudstik makes me <3 Dutchies more, even if I only understand when he sings in English. heh. 
I think the best I heard of him was his cover of India's song... Hmm actually, maybe not best but still a favorite of mine for some reason.

Adventures in Dutch:
Krizzzzzzz (I think I change how many zzzzzzzzzzs he gets each time I type that, heh) sent me the first holiday card I received this year and it was DUTCH!  I didn't know enough Dutch to know a key punchline word (clearly I did know it was a humorous card) but I did figure out most of it without cheating ;)   Looking at the word I had guessed cat but figured that might not make sense, so I asked a Dutchie.  I showed him the full sentence, gave him my translation minus that word, and asked him what it was.  He said hangover.   Later when Mijn Favoriet woke up I told him I learned a word for hangover, he asked me what, I told him, he ha ha'd and told me that means tomcat.  Then I told him the sentence, and he told me indeed or a hangover. heh.  Ahh the joys of being a wannabe Dutchie!  They always confuse me!

Winter is here:
My holiday cards arrived today though I might not be able to mail them next weekend as Brian might have to work.  IF he works next weekend,  we won't be doing our holiday mailing until the 15th.  You know what that means?  That means that the two cards I am sending to Dutchieland will likely arrive on time, the one to the UK will also likely  arrive on time, and the rest probably won't as mail within the states SUCKS.  Luckily since I'm not sending many this year, I won't feel too bad.

I realize mom's had snow already so I can't whine as we don't exactly get snow.  But we did have rain (which we needed so that was good).  But it's dropped about 15 degrees in one day.  Which for those of you in snowland would still be toasty, but for So Cal is brrrrrrr.  We could see our breath when we went shopping tonight so I call that cold.  My body isn't happy.  Sudden weather changes make my body grrr.

Art:
Brrr = turned the heater on and hid under the blankies drawing, which is being turned into a digital drawing now.  It's either going to be good... or disappoint me a lot. 

I started this post with plenty of zzzzzs and time to end it with them as it's Zzzzzzzzz time. 

Too much pain today for a real update of any sort tonight... sooo...
One of the songs that Mijn Favoriet hooked me up with... 

Tried to comfort a worn out Brian.

Cut about 1/2 of my hair off (too tired for a pic yet).

Didn't sleep at Saturday night or Sunday day...

Corrected someone's rude comment about the Dutch smoking so much pot that they don't know where they live...  because they say they are Dutch or are from Holland and that they speak Dutch, when they live in a country called the Netherlands and not Dutchland.  I  explained he was using all English words, not the Dutch words, that the Dutch would only say they live in HOLLAND if they do... that they would say they speak nederlands not Dutch. etc etc.  So ENGLISH speakers are the ones smoking too much pot as we have it wrong not the other way around.   My Dutchies laughed saying I was in fact correct on every point I made.  Someone I didn't know even replied to my response with "owned".   The thread was deleted before I could see if  that person replied to me.  It really wasn't a big deal, someone I know actually posted what had me worked up.  I just don't see the point in insulting a whole group of people out of the blue for no reason, even if it looks like you're trying to be funny.  Especially not MY Dutchies!!! heh.  Which leads to....

Got promo'd to "Almost Dutch" from "Wannabe Dutchie" by another wannabe, for knowing more Dutch than they do.  they expect me to be able to go into a Dutch irc channel and translate it all soon.  Ooopsie.  Guess I should start reading it again when I am rested someday.

Spent a lot of time pouting to Mijn Favoriet.  But didn't get much time to talk to Bender or Mike.

Talked to mom on the phone and kept asking if her baby kitty was a human baby.  It doesn't meow or cry like a kitten.  It makes a waaaah wahhh wahhh human baby crying sound.

Now it's Sunday night, and I need to zzzzzzz for probably 12+ hours to make up for missing sleep.  My body is not happy.  Every time I start to recover from a bunch of headaches, tingles, an exhaustion spell, a cold, rough patch of allergies, worse than usual sleep probs, etc then one of the other probs hit.  I never know what to expect, life's either really interesting or annoying... or maybe boring as I almost know which issues to expect next anymore. *yawn*
