It's a new year, it's a new time, it's a new world
But here I am. No longer yearning for a grandchild, but the proud Mimi of one little darling born on December 10, 2009 named Olivia Anne McLarty. My daughter is an amazingly good mother - just as I knew she would be. Greg is a dream dad. I only wish my children would have had that when they were born. He loves his little girl!
Olivia has 2 grandmothers (so I am Mimi), 3 great- grandmothers and 3 grandfathers and 2 great grandfathers. She also has 7 uncles! SEVEN! No aunts yet as Greg is the only one married. Jeff was married so she had an aunt, but that didn't work out so she only has uncles. I feel for her when she wants to date!
I have been very politically active for the past couple of years which has alienated some of my family members, but that's ok. None of them will discuss politics with me. Perhaps because I have facts to back up what I say and the don't - well they do have Bill O'Reilly and FOX news - the most biased cable news network in the world. What we call the idiot box is their source of information. I prefer books and documentaries and actually reading the material being proposed to make my decisions. I don't let morons like O'Reilly tell me how to think. I used to be a liberal conservative, but the more right wing extremist that members of my family get, the more left wing extremist I get. Both my boys and daughter are liberals also, but more conservative than I am - can you believe it? Me and old age really have an opinion and are not afraid to use it!
So as we count down the Mayan calendar, and the New World Order events continue to fall into place, I guess I will attempt, at least from time to time, to post something here. Go into my archives for postings that might interest you. I had a better attitude about the world but then Bush killed it just like he killed all our American serviceman. Why didn't his twins go into the military and go to Iraq? I think he should have been able to do that without worry since he could send anyone else's children over there. Thank God Obama is getting us out of Iraq by August.
Until next time when I truly have something to say...
