The Democratic Convention

Wednesday, August 27th, 2008

For those of you who may be wondering, yes, I have been following it. I am an election junkie, after all. I will admit that tonight was the first night that I actually have watched the evening speeches, although I have been following the coverage since it began.
I definitely have a few thoughts [...]

Why I Like McCain

Thursday, August 21st, 2008

I’ve spent a few days saying what I dislike about Obama (really, I haven’t even said ALL of my thoughts on him), now I want to write what I like about McCain.
1. He REALLY reaches across the aisle. He has voted for many bills that technically put him at odds with the Republican [...]

Because I Simply Can’t Resist…

Monday, August 18th, 2008

I don’t know how many of you watched the Saddleback Forum. I can say that not only did I watch it, but I recorded it, and made sure that I could hear EVERY word that came out of the candidates’ mouths.

Things that REALLY Annoy Me…

Saturday, August 16th, 2008

These are in no specific order, by the way. I’m just writing them as I think of them. Number one might be the biggest though, at least for today!

This Week…

Thursday, August 14th, 2008

Well, the week has definitely been busy. I am still working out, and LOVING the classes that I am taking. I am taking Zumba, Pilates, and Yoga. Of course, Zumba was cancelled this week, so I took a Guts and Glutes class. I must admit that that nearly killed me! [...]

First Day of School

Tuesday, August 5th, 2008

Today was Mayli’s first day of preschool. She really seemed to like it. She definitely didn’t want to leave the school and once she found out that she isn’t coming back for two days, she was really upset. Once we got into the car, she went on and on about how she [...]

One of Those Days…..(aka Mayli’s First Day of School)

Tuesday, August 5th, 2008

And, unfortunately, I’m not talking about a good one. Let’s just say that today has had a rough start.
I woke Mayli at a few minutes before 7:00 with, “Guess what you’re going to do today, Mayli?” I then told her that she was going to go to school. “YEAH!!!!!!!!!!!”
I had her go [...]

Long Time, No Write

Sunday, August 3rd, 2008

It’s been quite some time since I last wrote, actually well over a week. Let me give you some updates…
The Party…I actually started some of Matt’s promotion party preparations on Wednesday, three days before the event. Nick and I made meatballs, over 6 pounds of them to be exact, and I must admit [...]
