Dizzy’s Ten Post Round-Up

Image created at GlassGiant.comI’m on fire, right now, as I have a lot on my mind. I’m sure many of you are getting worked up about the same things that are sticking in my craw. Yet, when I try to express myself in a coherent fashion, it comes out on the page looking something like “akjf;laghoehtoieWTFgj;akjoijfoidjAHHHH!” Of course, I “know” what it says, but it’s impossible to translate.

I have plenty of time to think of these things, as I go about my daily tasks. I think “oh, how witty that will sound” and then I sit down to write and…I got nothin’!

Maybe I worry too much about censoring myself once I set down to my computer, trying not to offend anyone or at least, not offend them too much, especially with everyone on even higher alert and pointing to offenses more than usual during the current primary/caucus race. I think that I am coming to a point where I say fu…–I mean, “bleep” that (*wink*), I would rather lose friends than not be able to speak my mind. Of course, I will always be respectful when I am in a space (where you may be reading this) that does not belong to me, but I’m thinking it’s time for me to cut to the chase and actually say whatever the he…–I mean, “bleep” is on my mind.

That being said, there is some shi…–I mean, there are some things in today’s round-up that will definitely make you go “wtf?” So, why don’t we start off with a little soft shoe to ease you into it: Gregory Hines & Steve Martin Tap.

ImageChef.com - Custom comment codes for MySpace, Hi5, Friendster and more I admit it, I’ve got “spring fever”. I’m desperate for the sun to warm away the echoes of snow and freezing rain that are permeating my neck of the woods. I can see the grass and trees trying to turn green and the flowers are trying to sprout their roots. I’m not looking forward to the excess of spiders that manifest during this time of year, but I am looking forward to watching hubby’s flower garden grow.We are doing the big countdown to the LP convention and the day when hubby comes home for RnR. He tells me that he will hear some big news by Thursday. I imagine it has something to do with the same announcement that GWB plans to make on that date about deployments being reduced from 15, back to 12 months. Of course, the fat lady rarely sings on Army matters, so I won’t be cheering about this supposed “news” until the last note is sung and hubby is home for Christmas.

Well, it ain’t singing but it is news: Uncle Jay Explains the News - April 7, 2008. (Wherein Uncle Jay tries to explain rec..um…reces…ahem…recessi…whoo…how bad our economy is).

Dizzy’s Ten Post Round-Up

ImageChef.com - Custom comment codes for MySpace, Hi5, Friendster and moreMy apologies. My brain appears to be suffering a 404 page error, today. Maybe it’s the lack of caffeine. Maybe I’m suffering from “John McCain Syndrome”. Not good for a lass of my age.

Of course, it could just be that I am still recovering from my usual work-weekend. During the rest of the week, I wake early and bed down early. But, since I work bar hours, and still find myself getting up early to IM with my darling husband in Iraq, my aging body can’t cope with the bedtime disparities (early to rise, late to bed). It’s hard on this morning person. I feel bad for sleeping in when there is so much blogging and housework to be done.

I guess I need a wake-up song: ACE OF BASE - BEAUTIFUL MORNING

Dizzy’s Ten Post Round-Up

Image created at GlassGiant.comWith my kids getting a little older and not needing 100% constant supervision (including the fact, as we are doing lessons, they can follow me around the house for instruction when I give them homework) and with the limited time I chat with my husband, online, I am finally getting a groove where I find that I can actually accomplish many things of substance and in a short amount of time. I haven’t had that since before the little ones were still in diapers (which is about the same time that I also started my business). So, now, I am actually experiencing boredom. What a relief!

So what do I decide to do on a workday, when I could be resting up for the long night ahead?

Chocolate? Yes, of course.

But, not only that, I decided to post a round-up. I must like you guys, a lot. Besides, according to my site stats, I have one loyal reader, so I don’t want to disappoint him/her.

It’s snowing outside, so it’s possible that I may not even go to work if it get’s nasty. The weather outside and all the dramz in the nooz is putting me in a miserable funk, so I figured I’d offer up something upbeat and funky for your musical intervention, today (btw: Dizzy abso-friggin-lutely LOVES this song): Ce Ce Peniston - Keep On Walkin

Stop a moment and let me walk you through today’s Ten Post Round-Up:

Image created at GlassGiant.comCrazy, crazy days, these have been. Reading the headlines crossed over from April Fool’s Day and finding that the stories that seemed like jokes were not laughable, at all. Little kids plotting to kill their teacher. Bernanke speaking in hushed voice about the current impending great depression recession. A Democrat actually getting a significant discount during a recent visit to a prostitute (well, compared to Eliot Spitzer).

Sometimes I think I read/watch too much news. It’s making me jaded to the point where, although some things make me want to throw things and yell at the top of my lungs, “WTF???”, most days, nothing surprises me anymore.

I’m in the mood for another classic rock golden oldie: DON HENLEY “Dirty Laundry” (live)

I don’t believe today’s Ten Post Round-Up will make me any less jaded:

Dizzy’s Ten Post Round-Up

Just so you know, I am very grateful for being able to write this round-up, after having gotten myself stuck in my basement (longish story)!

After screaming and wailing for about fifteen minutes, my “MacGyver” instincts kicked in and I was able to create a contraption to extricate myself before I was overcome by cobwebs and hairballs.

As soon as I freed myself, I swore by the Flying Spaghetti Monster that I would get this round-up to you, if it was the last thing I did.

After washing my hair, painting my toenails, redecorating my living room and consulting a fortune cookie for my weekly lottery numbers, I was finally able to sit down and write this round-up.  Since I’ll be bedding down, after this, I guess you could say this is the last thing I am doing.

I’m in a jazzy, bluesy, kind of mood, so I’ll let “Lady Day” sing some blues for you: Billie Holiday “One for my Baby (and one more for the road)”

Wonder who’s singin’ the blues in today’s Ten Post Round-Up:

Image created at GlassGiant.comToday, was a miserable day. Sure, it was a beautiful sunny day. But, noticing that we have passed a casualty milestone in Iraq and hearing how cold-hearted the Vice-President was, in response to that milestone, broke my heart. Every day, I hope that my soldier will not become part of that milestone, yet, the current White House administration acts like, “it’s business, as usual”; not a big deal.

Dizzy’s Ten Post Round-Up

Filed under Iraq War, video

Yesterday, marking the 5th anniversary of the US invasion of Iraq, was far from a somber day, for me. I have to somewhat disconnect from my feelings about the war because I live with it, on too many levels.

As a military spouse, of course, I live with the Iraq war on daily basis, as I tend the home-fires and keep them burning. As the only regular professional entertainment for the troops, where my husband is stationed, I get to meet soldiers on their way to and/or from the war(s).

I have seen a few of them with parts of their skulls or other body parts, blown off. I have met many more at their mentally and emotionally lowest point in their life. Many of them tell me that my show is a form or therapy for them. It’s a form of therapy for their wives, too.

Honestly, it’s a form of therapy for me, too. If I was not serving the troops entertainment, I would be sitting at home worrying for my own soldier. I feel like I am giving something back and it makes me feel less lonely knowing that I am doing something good for others, rather than wallowing in my own misery.

I try to make a point to sing fun, upbeat and positive music. The following piece of mood music is one of the most popular songs I sing and I love how it brings a smile to even the grumpiest soldier’s face: Swing Out Sister - Breakout

Dizzy’s Ten Post Round-Up

A late edition of the Ten Post Round-Up…life has a curious way of keeping you from your scheduled plans (know what I mean?).With the five year anniversary of the Iraq invasion, I am spending more time than usual thinking about the enormous changes that have happened in my life due to the three Iraq deployments of SSG Dizzy. Namely, I am having a recurrence of chest pains not felt since a vehicular incident that happened right before his first deployment. I spend a lot of time doing the work of two people and since I am just one person, that means that other guy’s stuff piles up until it can no longer be avoided, especially when I am in pain.

Of course, being an active blogger means that the news is hard to avoid, as well. Let’s see what Uncle Jay has on his mind, this week: Uncle Jay Explains the News - March 17, 2008

I’m going to need some pretty good painkillers to get over this recurring whiplash pain I have in my chest, but, it seems that you may find, in reading today’s Ten Post Round-Up that some of our lawmakers (current and former) are either licking salvia or smoking crack:
