The weekend is over and that means that it is time to go back to work again. I am working this week and then it’s time for that Christmas break that I have been waiting for. I get eleven days to rest and be lazy and I need it. The weekend went by real quick like they usually do most of the time. I did a lot of reading, a lot of playing COD 4 and a lot of sleeping. I also searched for name for my new blog and I found it, look for a post on that topic tomorrow. I am finished with 90% of my Christmas shopping and plan to get the other 10% done before the week is over. I already submitted my own Christmas wish list and it is a very short one, a Sonicare toothbrush and a black scarf that is all I want. But the most important thing in my list is for my family and friends to be healthy, successful and happy this coming year. A very uneventful weekend but as you know I am ready for the next one.

You asked for it and here it is, Friday. Sit back, relax and before you get ready for the weekend read In The News. For the record, In The News was not named in the Mitchell report.

1. Did you read about the new $5 dollar bill? It seems that honest Abe will be getting a dose of color. Purple and gray tones as well as other high tech changes are designed to make life difficult for counterfeiters. The new $5 will go into circulation March 13, the Bureau of Engraving and Printing and the Federal Reserve announced Thursday. The next bill set for a makeover is the $100 bill, there will be no changes to the $1 bill. I feel bad for the $1 dollar bill.
2. Did you read about the glow in the dark cats? It seems that South Korean scientists have created cloned cats that glow in the dark. This week the scientists showed off the cats, which now glow a dull red under ultraviolet light after a gene for producing red fluorescence protein was inserted in their genetic code.
3. Did you read about Senator’s Mitchell MLB report? it seems that after 20 months and $20 millions Senator Mitchell released his 400 plus page report detailing the use of performance enhancing drugs and naming names in the process. In announcing release of the report, Mitchell said, “This has not been an isolated problem involving just a few players or a few clubs.” Some of the names include all time home run leader Barry Bonds and 300 game winner Roger Clemens. Thanks for the old news Senator.

We are in the final stretch, 2007 will soon be in the history books and 2008 will make its appearance and I am hoping that it will be a good year. The bouncing market doesn’t seem to make its mind up. Does it want to go up?, something which I think we all want or does it want to go down?, a thought none of us want to entertain. Lets check and see if the ball bounced our way.

I am not tired at all and that makes me happy and knowing that today is Wednesday makes me even happier. I didn’t play COD 4 at all yesterday, talk about having the will not to do it huh. Anyway, last week’s video was “Georgia Rain” by Trisha Yearwood. This is one of those videos that would easily make you cry if you were feeling sad. Overall a nice song to listen to no matter how you are feeling. And that brings us to today’s video which I happen to like lots, hope you do too.

As you all know if you are a regular reader of this blog I post once a day, five days a week. That is my schedule, I don’t post anything on the weekends because I don’t want to burn myself out, the only exception was that time I was checking a new blog editor way back when. I’ve stuck to my schedule so far and even when I was sick sometimes I tried to post something even it was just to let everybody know I was sick and I am proud of that.

Some bloggers post everyday and some even post multiple times a day. Everybody has their own plan. What works for me may or may not work for you, it all comes down what you think will work for you. I made my choice and so far I am happy and doing the best I can.

If you are thinking of starting a blog make you sure you know how often you want to post and stick to it and you’ll be all right. And even then if you change your mind don’t forget to let your readers know of any changes before they happen because it would not be fair to them to come to your blog and find nothing after you said you were going to do post everyday. Be honest with yourself and your readers, that will only make you a better blogger.
