Favorites...
I love hearing my girl talk to herself while she is taking a bath. It cracks me up to hear the whole world she is in. It makes me happy to know that she has quite an imagination. I once thought that she might not have once since that was not something I was ever really good with. Glad to know she is turning out better than I was.
Ha!

It's been a while...
Haven't blogged since November...I have been a bit busy. I have been busting my ass at the gym 4 days a week since January. Sadly I have only lost 8 lbs. BUT...I am on a mission to sky dive this year so I will have to lose 30lbs to make sure I don't have to pay extra. ..There's just something about jumping out of a perfectly good plane!!
ok that's all I have for now...

So it happened...
President Barack Obama. It has a lovely ring to it doesn't it? Tuesday November 4Th, 2008 was a day for the history books. I hope that the apparent change that has just swept through the United States will be followed up with actual, physical, serious change in this country.
The United States is a great, wonderful and promising nation, however with all of those attributes in place, it really doesn't do much good if the citizens of The United States don't work towards living up to those ideals. Having made some outstanding strides in history I believe the country on the whole has become complacent. Resting on our laurels. That is how we got into the situation we find ourselves in at this moment in time.
With that said, it was obviously destined to bring us to where we are today. It laid the foundation for the history that was made on November 4th. There was a convergence of factors that all hit on that one day. In one day the American voter voiced their opinion and realized a certain 'Dream' that was once voiced by Dr. King. Remember? He had a dream, that one day his 4 children would live in a world where they were judged on the content of their character and not on the color of their skin. That is what happened on Tuesday. While the initial reaction from around the world was that America finally elected the first African-American President, everyone knows, however, that Barack Obama also has substance. He is not just an African-American. He is highly intelligent, thoughtful and methodical in his decision making process and overall more concerned with getting things done and not really concerned with only advancing the democratic agenda. I can appreciate that his agenda is to advance the United States into a better place.
There is a lot of pressure on President-elect Obama's shoulders. At this moment in time, our greatest contribution to his transition period and subsequent '100 days', is patience. There is no possible way with all of the crap that the soon to be former President has left him, that President-elect Obama can get everything that needs to be done, done all at once. We need to be patient. We need to be understanding. We need to ensure that when our President calls on us to help in the change process, that we help. This is OUR country. The history that was made on Tuesday was OUR history. We are the only ones responsible for our future. It is the least we can do...

Why is anyone listening to Elizabeth Hasselbeck?
Why does anyone care what this whiny, screechy voice says? She is just a more public representation of the sheep that follow the republican party wherever they go... baaa baaa
Hey Elizabeth, educate yourself before you run your mouth again.

"Real America"
Turns out unless you live in a small town and unless you believe in the conservative way of life, then according to Sarah Palin you are not "Pro-America". Yeah that's right, you have to fit into a mold of an exclusive conservative mind set in order to be considered a Real American. Who knew?
Sounds pretty funny coming from someone who sided pretty heavily with the Alaskan Independence Party, who's founder Joe Vogler who once said "I'm an Alaskan, not an American. I've got no use for America or her damned institutions." So...using Sarah Palin and John McCain's ruler for guilt by association, Sarah Palin obviously believes that she is not an American and she has no use for America or her damned institutions. Would one of those "institutions" be the White House?
I am with Colin Powell in his description of the Republican Party.. " the approach of the Republican Party has become narrower and narrower... I look at these kind of approaches and they trouble me."
I hope that America, either the real parts of America or the fake parts, get educated with 2 weeks to go in this campaign and make their vote count on November 4.

Would you have the courage?
What if you held the job that Thomas Dart has? Name not familiar? I would assume not. Thomas Dart is the Sheriff in Cook County, Illinois. He has the unfortunate task of evicting people from their homes. Why unfortunate you ask? Because the people he was being told to evict were renters, these people PAID their rent on time all the time... The reason for eviction is because the OWNER of the building they are renting was not paying their mortgage. Seems unfair right?
Well would you have enough courage to put a stop to this unfair action if it was your job? Sheriff Thomas Dart of Cook County, Illinois DOES have the courage. He is being couragous in standing up to the banks requesting the eviction because these banks haven't done their due diligence with these eviction requests. They don't know who lives at these locations, the only see a piece of paper cross their desk.
If only we all had the courage displayed by Sheriff Thomas Dart, this world would be a better place. When Senator Barack Obama becomes President Barack Obama he should stock his cabinet with people just like Sheriff Thomas Dart!
