Such a funk

I'm in a crappy mood. I decided to do a Christmas card workshop on November 20th. My deadline for RSVP was 8p tonight. I've had one person sign up. Granted one customer just had a baby Friday, I didn't expect her to want to come, but really, one?

So I've decided to console myself with the fact that it's the opening night of New Moon and I just can't compete with that. Wink!

But what's really bumming me more is what happened this weekend. Saturday night around 10ish. No, it wasn't some college football game. It was the health care bill. It passed the house. Narrowly, but still.

I just can't wrap my brain around it. {Political stuff ahead!}

I simply can't understand why insurance is a right that the government should provide. Roads? Yes. National security? Sure. Freedom of religion, speech, right to bear arms? Well duh! But insurance? Not quite getting it. I mean I get that insurance is important. Please you don't have to explain that to a pregnant woman who NEEDS an epidural in a few months.

But. Insurance is the reason that (in my opinion) medical bills are so high to begin with. When I didn't have insurance (in college) I was charged less at the doctor's office than when I did have insurance. Same doc. Same visit. Different price. Why?

Okay, insurance and public option aside look at all the other stuff in this bill. For starters, one trillion plus dollars to finance. We are already borrowing money from China to "create" jobs here. We are printing more money than we can back up.

Uhg. That's it for now....I am too fed up to finish my thoughts and D just got home from a weekend of hunting!!! Feeling better already!!

ETA real quick...blog candy announcement may be later in the week!!
