Well, I've made it to day 2, yay for me! Continuing with my alphabet game, I saw some rather disturbing news on the Early Show, which i am completely addicted to, yesterday morning. In anticipation for the Olympic games in Beijing, the government has ordered a row of houses to have a "decorative wall" built around them, because these "unsightly homes" are along the Torch Run and will receive much media coverage on Friday, the day of the Opening Ceremonies. Other homes that were unable to be concealed by this wall were TORN DOWN. That's right..these people are left homeless because their homes are not pretty enough to be seen by the rest of the world. Excuse me, but how, in anyone's mind, is this right?? I don't usually get involved in heavy discussions about the news, religion, politics..or anything of that nature...i'm not much for confrontations. But this topic just struck me. The Olympics are supposed to bring the world together, right? Right..unless your house is ugly. Then you're just SOL, i suppose. I can only hope, as Wick mentioned, that the Chinese government is providing these poor people with some sort of compensation....perhaps a "Buy a prettier home" fund?
My next "B" topic begins on a much lighter note....today is pedicure day with the girls! I love these days. Even though summer is coming to an end, all girls in the south know that open-toed shoe season extends well into the fall, thus, our feet must be presentable! Plus, it's always nice to have someone rub your legs and make you feel relaxed, especially after a long day of work :). So, Nails City, here we come :) If only they served wine with these pedicures.....hmmm.
"B" raylon is also a wonderful topic for the letter "B". He's the newest addition to the fam...and quite possibly the sweetest. My sister's 2nd child, Braylon, just sits back and takes all the craziness in...quite possibly thinking "Am I really related to all these crazy people?" Braylon is at the doctor this morning, hopefully getting a good report. Lindsay was pretty sure on Sunday that he had thrush (which i have assured myself that i CANNOT catch from kissing those sweet lips, cheeks, ears...) but all signs seemed to have cleared up yesterday evening. She took him to the doctor anyways to check it out, and dragged Taylee with her as well. My sweet angel face niece was not herself last night at ALL. She was QUIET, and anyone who knows Taylee knows that when she's quiet, she's doing something she's not supposed to, or she doesn't feel good at ALL. Last night she complained of an earache, and her eyes were glassy & watery. Poor babes. Here's hoping to a good report for both of them from the doctor this morning!
