Blurb

Weekend was so much fun and our family reunion rocked :0) I will have to update more later...with pics.

S & S

S & S...stressed and swamped!!! I have been slammed with huge amounts of paperwork the last couple days and my fingers are killing me!!! Pass the Advil and the ice pack, man. Ugh :0(

Family reunion with my MIL's family tomorrow and Sunday. Really excited :0D I'm gonna be baking a buttload of brownies tonight...a double batch of just plain chocolate, some caramel pecan brownies and am kicking around the idea of making a batch of Black Forest Brownies, although I can't promise those will even last the night if I do ;0) So probably no on the Black Forest kind.

Been running 2 miles and walking another mile before breakfast the last couple mornings and am loving it. I feel like I am "earning" my breakfast and giving my metabolism a great big kick in the rear. Not sure how much longer my knees will be on board with the program, but it'll be nice while it lasts.

Hope you all have a great weekend! (it's opening weekend for the NFL - yay!!)

Luv that Gov!

Let’s hear it for the Governor of the great state of Alaska!!!! (and yes, that is Mt McKinley in the photo...thanks Suz!) Woo hoo!!! Is Sarah Palin just the bomb or what. Seriously! She’s awesome. I think the GOP needs to flip the ticket and have HER run for prez with McCain as the VP! And I for one would loveloveLOVE to see her debate Obama…forget debating Joe Biden, let’s put her in the ring with Barack and let them go a few rounds. She’ll take him apart. She has more experience than Obama could even think about having! When you’re a mayor or a governor, you actually RUN things! You have to make decisions about matters at hand and are accountable for the success or failure of your choices. Senators get to pass the buck…there’s a boatload of other people (your fellow senators, the House of Representatives, the President, ect) you can blame things on when your vote turns out to be the wrong one. Senators don’t even need to vote “yes” or “no”; ask Barack Obama…he just votes “present”. What the heck does that mean, “present”?!? That’s roll call, not a vote. And what exactly does a “community organizer” do? What tough decisions do they have to make? Who to protest against next? Governor Palin is a tough, no nonsense, talk-the-talk-and-walk-the-walk, honest, hard working, everyday ordinary woman; what you see is what you get. She’s genuine. She has more integrity and grit than either of the people on the Democrat ticket by far. I am prouder to be a Republican woman now than I have been in years. We finally seem to have someone who is not afraid to tell it like it is, who wants to actually do the people’s business, and who will work for the good of our country, not what’s “policitally correct” or boost her poll numbers. You go, girl.

Brr!

The frost is on the pumpkin this morning, I'll tell you what...it's COLD!!! Right now (9:15am) it is 38 degrees. 38. I know that every year around fair time, it starts to get s bit chilly at night but this is rediculous! On top of that, it snowed over 3 inches yesterday up the canyon (I know because one of the guys I work with was up there hunting all weekend). ICK :0(

My weekend didn't go quite like I had planned, but what's new ;0) No painting. Lots of housework. My son had a bunch of friends over all day Sunday to play D & D and Xbox, just hang out...they had a blast so it was well worth sacrificing my paint plans.

Hope you all had a great holiday weekend. Sorry this is short but work is a madhouse this morning.

Have a good one!
