Paula Deen

All the fuss the media are making out of Paula Deen developing Type 2 diabetes is ridiculous. She is aging, she is bound to start developing some health problems eventually and they are just making a bigger deal out of it than it needs to be.

Yes, she has a cooking show and enjoys cooking food the old fashioned way. A lot people in America have type 2 diabetes. But, all the media picking at how she cooks and her getting diabetes is a little over the top. A lot of people have bad eating habits, she's not the first and she won't be the last. We are all not perfect. I say just let her deal with it and make the best of it. Maybe she will start running cooking shows on how to cook the same dishes with healthier options.

I just couldn't imagine finding out you have health problems, then have all these people tell you it's your own fault because of the way you cook. Yes, I am sure she already knows that and it is up to her doctor and nutritionist to discuss her eating habits with her. She hid her health issues, because she was afraid it would hurt her career and the media is just going to push that along.

Martin Luther King said, "This demonstration will go down as the greatest demonstration for freedom in the history of our nation," he couldn't have been more right.

Dreaded Walmart Trips

I went to Walmart today looking for some rugs and a few things. Not long after walking in the door, I remembered why I avoid that store whenever possible. Whenever you go in there, plan on spending almost two hours in the store, because it it so difficult to find everything you need. The Walmart I go to in Dearborn, the set up of the store just doesn't make sense to me. I can never find anything I'm look for without spending way too much time wandering around. I end up walking back and forth through the sections trying to find the things I need and it seems they never have the shelves stocked. The shelves always look like they just had a mad rush of people who just cleared off the shelves. Then to make the trip to Walmart even more annoying, you spend at least 15 minutes waiting in line, because they never have enough lanes open. Every since they got busted locking in illegal workers in at night, they must be trying to cut back somewhere. So, they cut back on cashiers and stock people.

Who Would Have Thought...

Who would have thought a person could accumulate so much stuff hidden away in closets and on shelves? I have been in my house 13 years and I have been cleaning out all the closets and shelves in every room. My Wordless Wednesday turned into a disappearing act on Thursday, because I have been so busy clearing out and getting rid of all the stuff that is just wasting space. I haven't even gotten to every room yet and I have managed to fill up seven big contractors garbage bags full of unwanted clothing, shoes, coats, blankets, papers and so on. I didn't even know I had that much unnecessary stuff filling my closets and shelves. If you walk into my house it looks fairly organized and neat. So, I never imagined having so much stuff to get rid of.

The funny thing about it, I have never been one of those people to clutter things up with a bunch miscellaneous items. But, as you dig through those boxes and reach up onto those shelves your find old Halloween costumes the kids have grown out of, stacks of unused wrapping paper and bows, old papers you were afraid to let go of that never came into use and so many other things that I forgot that I even had.  So far I have finished the living room, my sons room, my daughters room, the storage room, kitchen and laundry room. I have yet to start my room and the downstairs family room. I am procrastinating on doing my room, because it just seems so overwhelming when I look up at the shelves I can't reach in the closets. But, that has become one of my New Years challenges is to clean out everything that is not needed and rid of any unnecessary clutter as we are preparing to move to another home.
