- Five days from now, I will be in Hawaii, loving & spoiling these kids. I cannot wait!
- I ran into a girl I grew up with at a meeting this week. We're exactly the same age (41.) She is pregnant with her 9th child. Seeing her, pregnant again, filled me with mixed emotions. Of course, I'm happy for her. She's a wonderful person, happily married and I know she's raising good and happy children. But part of me was a little bit freaked out. NINE CHILDREN! Holy cow. How does anyone do that? Yet another part of me was a little bit jealous. Jealous for me, for others I know who would love to be pregnant and can't and so on. It just makes you wonder how one can be blessed with so many children and then I'm here forcing myself to be more and more accepting of the fact that I will likely never have a child of my own. Hmm. Okay, the pity party is over now. Let's move on.
- I feel like baking something to give away to people I love. I cannot bake the thing I want to bake (carrot cake cupcakes) because I'm out of carrots and grocery shopping is not sounding appealing.
- Did anyone else get the new Crate and Barrel holiday catalog? I want to order about half of the things in there. Oh, to be wealthy...how would it be?
- I don't know who I'm going to vote for. I'm so completely torn this year. I tend to lean a little more on the Democratic side but I truly just vote for the person I think is the most qualified and will do the best job. I'm just not sure if that person is Obama or McCain this election. I'm usually way more decisive about these things but not this year. Oh but I loved the Sarah Palin rap on SNL last week. Hilarious. I can't get it to embed but click on this link and go watch it again.
- Speaking of Gov Palin, I'm irritated that people are hassling her about her wardrobe and the $$ that was spent. If she was campaigning in her own, regular-girl clothes, she'd be knocked for not being stylish enough.
And that's all I've got! Hope you're all having a fabulous weekend!

I feel ya on the Palin thing.. Stupid argument!
It really is a stupid argument. It's not all that much for 2 months of solid public appearances, probably occurring more than once a day, all of which are being scrutinized heavily by the media. If you have an appearance once a day for two months, it ends up costing you $2.5k/appearance, less if you have more. I think the cost of flying constantly or just of streamers and balloons for these events outdoes it.
I can't look at those magazines. sigh.
Well, your life will be totally blah-less in a few days! Hurray! I'm so excited for you to go see your sister because I know you will have so much fun. On the political front -- I'm developing a new motto...if Hollywood is for it, that's a red flag to me! Okay, help me develop that better! xoxoxo
