Hot rollers, mascarra and lipstick

Boy I'm a sight right now. LOL I'd post a pic but know my friend Lizz would grab hold of it and do lovely things to it in photoshop.........

About a month or so ago Paul and Annalese asked us what we were doing the week of March 3rd? Well I'm doing nothing but Rob has a class tonight that's worth 30% of his mark. Otherwise he'd be coming with us to a concert at the Copps Colosseum in Hamilton to see Nickleback. I've heard some of their music and it's quite good actually (but perhaps for those in my age group but I've heard some older people like some of their stuff also) so I'm looking forward to going. I have been looking forward to it since the ticket was purchased. So you can imagine my ire when I got this cold and now this cough. I went to the store and bought some Halls and they seem to be helping and I'll keep them in my purse to suck on when the tickle strikes.

Have my hair up in hot rollers and I'm just now deciding what to wear. I think I'll wear this one semi-dressy/goes with anything top that I wore to my Cousin's 50th wedding anniversary, a pair of jeans and my heeled boots. Hopefully my hair will turn out it would be nice to leave it down for a change.

Paul and Annalese are picking me up between 3:30 and 4pm and I'll be back late tonight. I have a feeling that it will be super late when we get here so probably won't get back on here.

Well, going to fix myself some lunch.

AFTER PROPOSING BILLIONS IN NEW TAXES, OBAMA ANNOUNCES SEBELIUS AS HHS SECRETARY.

Obama Will Sign Spending Bill Despite Earmarks

President will break a campaign pledge on Monday and sign a budget bill laden with millions in lawmakers' pet projects, administration officials said.

WASHINGTON -- President Barack Obama will break a campaign pledge and sign a budget bill laden with millions in lawmakers' pet projects, administration officials said.

Administration budget chief Peter Orszag and White House chief of staff Rahm Emanuel both downplayed the $410 billion spending bill and signaled Obama would hold his nose and sign it. Orszag said: "We want to just move on. Let's get this bill done, get it into law and move forward.

Said Emanuel: "That's last year's business."

The House last week passed the measure that would keep the government running through Sept. 30, when the federal budget year ends. Taxpayers for Common Sense, a watchdog group, identified almost 8,600 specially sponsored projects totaling $7.7 billion; Democrats say the number is $3.8 billion.

Either way, it is far more than Obama promised as a candidate. He refused "earmarks" for the economic stimulus package he championed and a children's health bill.

He similiarly pledged to reject tailored budget requests that let lawmakers send money to their home states. Orszag said Obama would move ahead and overlook the time-tested tradition that lets officials divert millions at a time to pet projects.

"We want to make sure that earmarks are reduced and they're also transparent. We're going to work with the Congress on a set of reforms to achieve those," said Orszag, director of the Office of Management and Budget.

Obama's top hands assigned responsibility to their predecessors and President George W. Bush.

Blaming Bush-era proposals for deficits, Obama wanted to set up his own budget that would start Oct. 1, which he proposed last week with a bold goal of cutting the deficit by half within his four-year term.

"First, this is a $1.7 trillion deficit he inherited. Let's be clear about that. We inherited this deficit and we inherited $4 trillion of new debt," Emanuel said. "That is the facts."

Facts, aides said, would be the cornerstone of the administration's public relations push. Officials faced a tough haul, even as Orszag and others said the proposal would raise taxes on wealthy Americans and increase energy costs.

Emanuel said energy costs are too low, anyway. U.S. car companies relied too long on gas-guzzling autos and failed to invest in alternative energy vehicles, he said. The time for new auto fuels is now, he contended.

"They never invested in both alternative energy cars. They got dependent on big gas guzzlers. ...They have a health care cost structure that's outdated," Emanuel said, repeating the administration's premise that health costs must come under control or else risk breaking all other pieces of the budget.

Republicans were not persuaded. Rep. Eric Cantor, their No. 2 in the House, said Obama was failing on his promises.

"Listen, I mean, the president was elected by the people of this country to institute change in Washington and to finally demand a federal government that is accountable to the people," he said. "The fact that there are 9,000 earmarks in this bill and the fact that the vetting process just doesn't take place the way it should, we ought to stand up and draw the line right now and stop the waste."

Orszag and Cantor appeared on ABC's "This Week." Emanuel spoke on CBS' "Face the Nation."

My Daily Sick Rant (grrrr)

Still coughing up a storm now the cold seems to have moved to my throat/chest three days ago and I can't stop hacking. It's at the point where my stomach muscles hurt.

Even Buckley's is not working... and that stuff is simply the worst you can put down your throat. Apparently it puts castor oil to shame. I just cough it back up and trust me when I say it compares to nothing tasting it the second time.

So I think I'll be seeing if I can find something else I can take anyone know of a good cough remedy? I'm coughing all night and I can't speak for Rob but I know I'm not getting much sleep.
