We all have at least one of those incredible women in our lives. You know the one who read you bedtime stories, changed your diaper, cheered you on at all your baseball games or ballet recitals. Yes, mom. Some of us are lucky enough to still have our mom's with us, some of you will celebrate with the mother of your children, don't forget grandma's and mother-in-law's too. It's that one day of the year that we are reminded to stop and thank mom's for all that the...
Something needs to change! It really is time for Obama to take a good look and realize that he's no longer the front runner. He hasn't won a primary since February. For all the talk of his oratory skills, he didn't win the last debate. He keeps alienating people whose votes he should be trying to win. I don't think people really want to vote for someone who thinks they are "bitter and clinging to God, guns and antipathy for people who aren't like them".&nb...
It's another great day to be a Hillary supporter. She has been written off and told to go away but look what keeps happening. She's still getting votes. She's still winning primaries. Today she is leading McCain in the polls by 9 points. She whooped Obama in the last debate so badly that now he's afraid to debate her again. "No mas, Hillary" Obama cries. Hillary is nothing if she isn't tough and resilient. She can take a punch and come back for mor...
Whenever I find myself having a little bit too much of a pity party my cure is to count my blessings. It helps to fend off my pouts of poor, poor pitiful me.
I got a 25% tip at my face painting job Saturday. It's a fun job and I wish I could do it full time. I wish I were better but I've definately improved. There's nothing quite like the look on those kids faces when they look in the mirror.
I took the boys fishing this weekend. It's fun to get ou...
I'm sharing some links for other bored souls out there whose computer is also the window to their world.
Ah bubble blowing makes me happy. These are handmade glass bubble wands. They are fab.

Zenhabits - I love this blog. I wish I followed more of the advice offered but I will share it. Maybe you'll do more than read it and think it's great but actually put it into practice. That's the hardest part.

Just some random things that I wonder about
Why does someone always smell like BO at Gamestop and Half-Price Books but not so much at Play It Again Sports? You would think that the people who are playing sports and looking at sports equipment would be sweatier and therefore stinkier than gamers and readers but you would be thinking wrong.
Why do bugs find me so appetizing? I am always the only one getting eaten alive while everyone else wonders why I want to leave. It mak...
Well I have to admit that as we get bigger and bigger as a society putting the actual calorie count on the menu's would probably make us face up to our choices. I still think it would take all of the fun out of eating out. Do you know why restaurant food tastes so good? Because it's so fattening. They use real butter and cream because it tastes better. I thought it was quite telling when there was a challenge on Top Chef to create a 500 calorie meal and they r...
