Warming Up

At Mayor Daley's winter Sports Fest!

Another Day

Out before the crack of dawn!

Whack!

What does this image have to do with my day?

Well, first. I got whacked in the head with it.

Second. I spent the day at Mayor Daley's Sports Fest! Yeah me!

The good news is that Sophie played well. She is the number one server on her team. After 8 seasons of volleyball in 4 years she has perfected her serve and it is pretty swell.

However, I was there at 7am. That means we left the house at 6:15. Which means that I am really tired. blah.

And I will go again tomorrow.

Same Bat Time. Same Bat Station. oy!

However this time, I will NOT be bringing big sis with us. She spent the day leaning on me due to exhaustion. She was up half the night watching crappy movies (The Hangover ("you really should see it Mom!) and probably ingesting substances that I have listed as off limits. (just guessing from the death look and the vomiting)). Not that she will be allowed to wander the earth like Kung Fu. She will be home writing a report for me about the Odyssey... or she will be home the rest of the vacation.

Yeah.

I am that Mom.

I suppose this could have been written by a fetus

Joe Lieberman sucks

The last couple of days have sucked. Everytime I look at the news, I am miserable.

The Healthcare Debate? Fuck Joe Lieberman. Why does he get to make the decisions based on what is best for him and his cronies instead of actual Americans.

That woman who disappeared from her home in Utah without her purse or car keys? She is dead. Her husband did it. And her father won't criticize him publicly. Anyone who takes toddlers camping at midnight in a snow storm is up to no good.

Add to it, that this morning we woke up with no hot water or hot air. The thermostat died and stopped hot air from flowing which then chilled the water in the water heater so it didn't work properly.

Can you guess that I just got my first paycheck? well, I guess it is gone now!

But truly this healthcare thing is pissing me off.

So I have emailed President Obama.

I suggest you do the same.

This health care bill is a travesty and I am disappointed that you are encouraging its passage. As a former Hyde Parker, who supported your candidacy before you were an official candidate, I am horrified with your gutless approach to this important subject.

You are making yourself an easy target for your enemies by trying to befriend them. Remember your Machiavelli! It is better to be feared than loved.

Kick some conservative butt. That is what we sent you to Washington for. Do it.

btw: the reCaptch words I got when submitting the email to POTUS? "Scalawag Employees" Weird, eh? Who do you think they are referring to?

A Tale of Two Taylors

I have had the time to take in and digest the SNL performances of both Taylor Swift and Taylor Lautner.

After contemplation, I have determined while both Taylors are talented, it was Taylor Swift who wins the battle of the Taylors.

You question my judgement? See for yourself!
