Is it the 17th yet? iPhone's update comes out then and I am hoping to do the one thing I've missed being able to do.. sending and receiving pictures from my husband's phone and sons. At least I can hope..

I am proud to be an American.. I know. What a topic change there! That said, perhaps I am proudest most because I can come here and complain that the President is spending way too much money and leaving the citizens of the country to flounder. I am able to say that I really hate this feeling that we as a nation are becoming more and more vulnerable to attack and it worries me that our President seems to be looking for some naive ideal what life should be with regard to our relations with other countries rather than what it actually is. I can't say right now if he's right or wrong. All I know is how often we were bombed before, and the anticipation of what our future holds.

What EXACTLY is being done about Korea and Iran and their nukes? Are we threatening sanctions if there is no talk of peace? If I take everything away from a person they have nothing left then why wouldn't they go ahead and attack? Sadly with something even deadlier. Keep in mind as I type this it has been several days since I've watched the news.. I'm on a mission.

Get ready.. I'm surly to become very unpopular here.. Call me funny but I'd like to think we are American's. We may come from African decent or Hispanic decent.. in my case, apparently Polish but we are American's. I do not feel a need to hyphenate Polish-American. (Okay.. the Polish thing is a funny story.. I'm still very much a Heinz 57 variety type.. you know.. American. You can still be proud of your heritage and not be a hyphenated American.

More unpopular.. why is it okay, illegal but simply accepted that a group of hispanic men gather at a store, going so far as to even set a bed up.. I do not lie.. and hang out but when I sit in a parking lot and talk with a friend I ran into the police come and chase us off because it's illegal? We aren't bothering anyone trying to buy a cup of coffee, we aren't making a mess.. we are .. talking. Heck, we didn't even set up a bed behind the store!
