Administration Again Pushing Anti-Environmental Court Nominee
For more than two years now, the Bush administration has been seeking to place the Pentagon's top lawyer, William Haynes II, on the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit (see BushGreenwatch, 12/18/03 and 3/16/04).

Well, tomorrow is weigh in day again. I thought I would open up the floor and takes bets as to how much weight I have gained this week. OMg, I have done very little walking and way too much eating. The only thing I am doing good about is still not eating sweets. I would be in drastic trouble it I started in on those.
So tell me what you all think. Last week I gained 3 pounds. I was a little surprised. So this week no surprises. :o I am being right up front about it.
I am hoping that once the show I am doing gets started and my life can start getting back to normal, I get start getting serious about the diet again. Of course there is that whole problem of needing a new wardrobe is I lose much more weight, and that isn't really in the budget right now. lol........

Here is your horoscope
for Tuesday, July 11:
New arrivals require more financial expenditures than you were anticipating, but never fear -- you'll have the means to pay for these items from an unexpected source. Use this windfall to budget for the long-term.
Well, I am not looking for expenditures, but if there is cash flow coming my way, BRING IT ON.
