i just have to say WOW.

I mean. WOW. Seriousness?!

Let me explain my exclamations... Obama. Yes I DID NOT vote for him. YES I DO NOT beleive hes doing a good job at all. Here is WHY I think this :::

1) He screwed up the inaugeration speach.. YES he was coping the preacher man word for word.. BUT don't you think he had been practicing that shit in a mirror weeks pior to the ACTUAL thing?! I WOULD HAVE BEEN! But not that brotha, no! He'll jsut roll with the punches. He actually messed it up enough to where he had to REdo the whole thing in his office in private with a few witnesses.

2) He had a lot of 'balls' and 'dances' to go to that night. YES busy busy man. BUT He and his wife managed to get to 10 balls that night. In that list of balls the one that he did NOT attend was the Medal of Honor recipient ball!

The newly sworn-in president opted not to appear at what should have been one of the most important Balls on his agenda that evening - The Salute to Heroes Inaugural Ball.The Salute to Heroes Inaugural Ball was begun in 1953 for President Dwight Eisenhower 's inauguration. The event recognizes recipients of the Medal of Honor, the nation's highest military award.There were 48 Medal of Honor recipients in attendance, who were undoubtedly disappointed by the commander-in-chief's failure to show. Over the past 56 years and 14 inaugurations, no president has skipped this event - until now.The Salute to Heroes Inaugural Ball is sponsored by the American Legion, and co-sponsored by 13 other veteran's service organizations, including those such as the Paralyzed Veterans of America and the Military Order of the Purple Heart.Instead of attending this ball honoring our nation's heroes, Obama was busy making stops at 10 other official balls. Obama and his wife's first stop was at the Neighborhood Ball. From there, they went to the Home State Ball for Illinois and Hawaii , the Commander-in-Chief Ball , the Youth Inaugural Ball, and the Home State Ball for Delaware and Pennsylvania . They finished off the night with brief appearances at the Mid-Atlantic, Western, Midwest , Eastern and Southern regional balls.Celebrities were aplenty at the balls, with Stevie Wonder, Shakira, Mary J.Blige , Faith Hill, Jay-Z, Alicia Keys, Adam Levine , will. i. am, Sting, Mariah Carey and Leonardo DiCaprio in attendance at the Neighborhood Ball. In addition, the other nine balls also featured a star-studded lineup including Kanye West and Kid Rock at the Youth Ball, Marc Anthony at the Western Ball, and Cheryl Crow at the Western Ball.It was the party without all of the celebrities that Obama skipped. The very people who he sought to have support him during his candidacy and campaign, who have fought to protect this country, were snubbed in favor of publicity and the opportunity to rub shoulders - yet again - with the out-of-touch Hollywood elite.

This just goes to show hes all about the celebs, but not about the average everyday person who is FIGHTING for this country! FIGHTING for HIM to be president!

3) Get this. he chose a ARAB channel for his first presidential speech. AN ARAB TV ANCHOR TO INTERVIEW HIM. He says this was to show the musilm nation he is willing to work with them to get back to the way things were 20 - 30 years ago.... Did anyone fail to notice that HE, obama, USED TO BE A MUSILM but had to declare himself a christian to RUN for president?! ANYONE PAYING ATTENTION NOW?!?! The interviewer even used a arabic slang term for "a black man who does the biddings of the white" to refer to Obama at the end of his commentary. Honestly. Bad Choice my man. Bad Choice. Shit.

Double Chocolate Chunks

I found this cookie recipe in one of the MANY cook books i have.. and its AMAZING. I guess I really am a mom when i spend part of the day browsing cook books looking for good eateries. :)

AND Just cause I am a choco-holic and I am a nice person I shall share the recipe with YOU. Yes, YOU! :)

Double-Chocolate Chunk Cookies
Prep: 30 min Bake 25 min per batch (that varies ill explain below)
Makes about 18 cookies (if poured at the 1/4 cup I make mine smaller)

What you need:
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 tsp baking soda
1 package semisweet chocolate chunks OR 12 ounces coursely chopped semisweet chocolate (2 cups)
1 Cup butter or margarine (2 sticks) SOFTENED!
2/3 cup packed light brown sugar
1/3 cup granulated sugar
2 tsp vanilla extract
1 large egg
2 cups walnuts (8 ounces) coarsely chopped *optional*


1. Preheat your oven to 350 degrees. In a medium bowl combine flour, baking soda, and salt.
2. In heavy 1 quart saucepan, melt 1 cup of the chocolate chunksover LOW heat, stirring frequently, until it is all smooth. Remove from heat; cool to room temp.
3. In a large bowl, with your mixer on low, beat the buter, brown and granulated sugar, and vanilla extract until crumbly. Add the melted chocolate snd egg; beat until well blended, occasionaly scraping the sides of the bowl with a rubber spatula. With a wooden spoon, stir in flour misture until well blended. *you dont want to use the beaters because they will put too much air in your batter* Stir in the rest of the chocolate chunks and walnuts if desired.
4. Drop dough by level 1/4 cups*** about 3 inches apart on an UNGREASED large cookie sheet. Bake cookies until edges are set but centers are still soft, 25 to 30 min. With WIDE spatula transfer cookies to wire rack to cool completely.
5. Repeat with remaining dough.

*** I only did about a heaping tabespoon of dough. Then i only cooked them for about 12 min. This yeilded about 3 dozen or so cookies and they went a lot farther and were still jsut as yummy. :)

The thing about cookies with chocolate in the batter is that they BURN really really fast if cooked to long. So i suggest if you do the 1/4 cup of batter per cookie you watch them. I cooked my first batch for 15 min and they were crispy. :) You know that wonderful burnt taste. LOL So head my warning! :)

Well thats it for now. Oh the batter is completely refridgerateable *spelling??* . Just put in tupperware container or leave in bowl and cover with plastic wrap. I did this and used it a couple days later, but i suggest pulling out about 30 to 45 min prior to when you want to bake them. The dough gets hard in the fridge. :) Very Hard. LOL I broke a spoon in the batter trying to scoop before i let it sit. Im a silly girl. :)

ENJOY! And let me know how they turn out for you!!!!

First and Foremost

Hi. :)

Ive had so many blogs in the past... and I've used them for so many things.. ranting about my boyfriends at the time, my family, school... and this one will probably be jsut like that. Except it will be about my husband and daughter, life, the schooling I will be entering into soon, and my moves to and from California where my husband is stationed with the US Marines.

I guess to put a little about me on here. Im young, but I know who I am and I am proud of how I have lived my life and the choices I have made. And even though i am considered "young" for a mother of a one year old and married wife of 2 years, I am considered 'old' for a military wife. :) Weird huh? Its an interesting life I lead. Being the young one to some and the old one to others.

Some people think I'm rude and sharp. But I am really just straight to the point. I dont beat around the bush so to speak.

I am a republican. Ill tell you right now I dont think Obama should have been elected. And thats not because i am a die hard McCain fan. Simply it is because the majority of the people who voted for him were uneducated minorities who were voting for a "change" ... what his 'change' is we arent sure. Its never been specified. but a "CHANGE" this will be.

Oh and as a side note. Yes his looks black but he is not BLACK. he is a half and half. SURPRISE. He isnt the first one to be president either. Grover Cleaveland was. So THANK YOU very much. Thats all Im gonna say on that.

I love my friends. I can be picky when i pick friends now. I used to be friend everyone and try to make everybody happy, but as i have grown up quickly I have learned the hard way that certain people just are not friend material, well at least for me. I'm sure they make wonderful friends to other individuals.

I am not in high school. I graduated. Im done with that scene. Stop the drama. LORDY. I know, yes we are all married to handsom men, yes we all have gorgeous babies, YES we are pretty women in our own rights.... but I AM 22. You may be 18 or 17 or even 16 (heaven help you and your man) but I would prefer you not indulge me in you rants about other women and their "habits". Please. Thanks.

Thats all for now I have cookies to bake and two smutty love novels to tend too. :)
