I have so much that I want to say, but I cannot, for fear that I will say things that will do entirely too much damage.
I *hate* that I have to change plans because something didn't work out.
I *hate* that I feel unfulfilled at this very moment.
I *hate* that I have not worked for a better position for myself.

blah
It's Monday night and I'm sitting at home, enjoying my nightly bowl of popcorn.
I've tucked Holly into bed because of a bad headache. I had to wake her up to feed her dinner, then I marched her to bed.
I'm feeling blah, in spite of the weather, and I don't care for that one bit. I'd like to snap out of the funk I'm in, but that may be a while.

Spinning wheel got to go 'round
With declining revenues in the gas tax due to people driving more fuel efficient cars, it appears the Obama administration is considering a mileage tax for cars to recoup the "missing" revenue.
So, let me get this straight: liberals want those of us who choose to own a car to have a fuel efficient car, then bitch about the fact that gas tax revenue goes down when people *do* buy fuel efficient cars?
Really??
I moved to a more fuel efficient car 3 years ago because I simply couldn't afford to fill my 1999 Explorer twice a week at $55 a crack. My Focus gets almost twice the mileage my Explorer did, and it's a nice car. I made the choice, based on my budget, to move to a smaller vehicle that still suited my driving needs.
But because I *chose* to live within my means and not sell my soul to pay for gas, I might *still* have to pay more for the privilege of driving, based on my mileage. My wife and I generally take my car when we go out, whether we go to the movies or to visit my family in Illinois. I already pay more for the privilege of driving due to the fact that I use more gas in my car to drive those miles; I don't feel I should be taxed *again* based on mileage driven, as I've already paid to use the roads I drive on with my gas taxes.
I'm tired of the government on all levels telling me they need more money all the time; I have to live within my income, government can learn to live within it's income as well.
