113 Mph






Ah so frustrated...


I think you're mind is moving 113 mph it's such a a good thing... THAT IS, if you're thoughts are running so fast in an organized fashion. I'm going home to see my best guy friend. My love. It's his birthday and I'm going to surprise him. Tomorrow I get to see my lovely Lindsay. I don't get to see her newlywed working self very often. I'm very excited for she brings a different sarcasm to my life. I miss her dearly. I can't wait until we reminisce tomorrow evening and reaffirm our leaning on type of friendship. However, so sad that I'm not going to be relaxing and karaoke- ing it up with Christina... next weekend my soulmate... NEXT WEEKEND!

I lobbied at the capital Wednesday afternoon. It was an exhausting day however I discovered that I have a secret love for social welfare policy. As I was promoting the mental health parody to one republican (dare I say it) representative... My blood was boiling. While he's concerned about insurance premiums rising 8%... I'm pointing out that by not offering full mental health coverage on insurance plans... will lead to bigger problems and cost our society even more money in the future. This is something so many people don't understand. They are more concerned about the right here and now instead of thinking about what problem they will have on their hands in the near future. Minnesotans have let some of our Iowa legislators know that after they went to full mental health coverage that premiums went up LESS THAN ONE PERCENT-- that sure doesn't sound like 8 PERCENT TO ME... Mr. Republican is getting his numbers from Insurance agents in Iowa... hmmm... Does anyone else see a problem? -- aside from that, if we do see premiums rising... then why not just put a cap on it? Ahhh frustration.. and passion at the same time..
