it makes you say, hmmmmm...

It's Friday...the end of the week and the start of Superbowl weekend!

Yay, the Arizona Cardinals are in the Superbowl this year. We are facing the always daunting Pittsburg Steelers and granted the majority of all the "sports people in the know" are choosing Pittsburg to win but we are not giving up on our team. It's always awesome when the underdogs claim victory!

I have been playing with the notion of throwing all reasonable sense out the window and just taking off to attend the Superbowl in Tampa. Even this morning, I was still working out a "plan". However, as impulsive as I tend to be, I just couldn't get past that gut feeling that perhaps there were more important, albeit less exciting things that the money spent to go to the Superbowl could do.

I'm just trying to behave responsibly, unlike those Wall Street companies that gave out 18 billion dollars in bonuses recently. Really, did these companies not care that the tax paying public (which includes me) would not be upset about the fact that our very hard earned tax dollars just bailed them out of collapse. Perhaps, a year without bonuses for their already highly paid execs would have shown some responsibilty on their part to getting their companies back on track. Their behavior continues to baffle and anger me. All I can say is hmmmmm....

And hmmmmm, is all I can say to this headline...

Exxon Mobil shatters US record with $45.2 billion annual profit despite year-end oil plunge

 

Hmmm, remember this summer...

 

Well Exxon, I'm glad that you are enjoying your record profits. My wallet is a lot lighter thanks to your earnings!

And just one last thing from this week that makes me say hmmmmm

Octuplets born in California to a mother that already has six children ages, 7,6,5,3 and 2yr old twins. Fertility treatments had resulted in the pregnancy of the octuplets. Really, why does a women with six children under the age of 7 have fertility treatment...hmmmmm.

 

And now since I've blogged about all the seemingly irresponsible behavior I've witnessed this week, maybe I'll join in the irresponsible club and just take one more look at getting to Tampa tomorrow for that Superbowl.

Hmmmmm, do my kids really need to go to college anyways?
