Captain Obvious says...

the gas companies are making money!

"Exxon's profit for the year was also the largest annual reported net income in U.S. history, according to Howard Silverblatt, a senior index analyst for Standard & Poor's. He said the previous high was Exxon's $25.3 billion profit in 2004."

and

"For the full year, net income surged to $5.71 per share from $3.89 per share in 2004. Annual revenue grew to $371 billion from $298.04 billion. To put that into perspective, Exxon's revenue for the year exceeded Saudi Arabia's estimated 2005 gross domestic product of $340.5 billion, according to statistics maintained by the Central Intelligence Agency."

Tonight my husband did something silly...

He played Donkey Basketball. I wasn't there, but I wish I had a photo.

Toothpaste For Dinner

System Restore

After months of disuse due to slow performance (likely from a viral infection), Danny and I have played doctor... on my laptop. We eliminated the problem by completing a system restore... returning my laptop to the like-new status. "New" meaning back to 2001. About 48 hours of downloading critical system updates from Microsoft later, I'm up and running successfully again. Too bad it couldn't do anything to fix my slow internet (dial-up) connection!

What Metaphor Am I?

Sounds like an online quiz, doesn't it. I have to give a speech next week about myself including what metaphor best describes me. Any suggestions?

New Drug of Choice!

I went to the doctor yesterday for a persistent (week-long) sore throat, ears, cough, etc. His solution: an antibiotic and a narcotic cough syrup (hydrocodone). 2 teaspoons before bed allowed me to finally get some sleep last night... and approaching the noon hour. :) You would think they would make narcotic cough syrup taste disgusting to prevent possible addiction, but it is actually quite tasty. If you ever get the chance to try some, please do... but stay away from MINE! :)
