The World According to ME!

This blog is just what the title suggests; my opinion on my little world here in Smalltown USA and its day to day happenings. (Wow-sounds egocentric doesn't it?) I have a tendency to go into tirades on subjects that get my attention, so this space is my outlet. It's ok if you don't like what I have to say. Feel free to comment and share your 2 cents worth, but please, engage in intelligent discussion and leave the profanity elsewhere. That being said, WELCOME TO MY WORLD!!

100 Things....or, a cure for insomnia

100 things
I am really not egocentric but writing this does make me feel like I am. I was "tagged," so I guess it is my turn to do this. If you make it through the whole thing, you deserve a cookie. This might be a cure for insomnia, if it works for you, feel free to send me a monetary contribution.
