Dracuuuuuula!

I've just started this book, and I better get the pee scared right outa me! Or else, no soup for you, Bram Stoker!

I got gas...I think...

Tomorrow is Joaqo's payday, and I have very little $ until then. I had $8 cash in my wallet, and my tank was totally empty, so I thought, hey, I'll just put in the $8 until tomorrow...it'll be plenty. So I did. Um, the needle went up, like 2 millimeters. No kidding.

On Politics....

Well, since everyone's posting about the recent conventions, I thought I'd join the bandwagon. So, here are my thoughts...
McCain- I worry about major budget problems- like we need more debt. The war? I think it was a mistake to go to Iraq- How's he gonna keep paying for it? The good- he has fought for this country and I really believe he is committed to it heart and soul.

Palin- love, love the idea of a woman being there, but this one? Not enough experience! What's her foreign policy record like? (Besides with Canada). I don't know if I could handle the idea of her being president should something happen to the other one. Good- she seems like a great representative of the average american woman - she has a whole lot experience with all that comes with it for sure!

Obama- love, love the idea of a black president for so many reasons. He is intelligent, driven, cares for the minority, understands the needs of the people of this country. But, oops! Not much experience in government, like Palin.

Biden- I think this guy's great. Tons of experience, great leadership, great morals, fights for what he believes, and I believe has some experience with foreign policy (I'll have to double check that one). But, what about the financial mess we're in? I have no idea what his background is with that.


So, to sum it up.....I think I'm going for Obama-Biden. Yeah, that's right. Those two...Um. Will you still be my friends?

Dear God,

Tomorrow I will be paying my tithing. I will find some time to quickly run to the box that holds the tithing envelopes before sacrament mtg (if I'm on time), quickly fill out the paper and check (probably during a speaker, so, that reduces my listening time, on top of the fact that I have a toddler), then put it in the diaper bag (hidden so that the toddler doesn't take it out to draw on or play with), then cross my fingers and say a prayer, hoping to remember to give it to a member of the bishopric when they drop off their kids in my nursery class- hoping that I will remember while I am holding 2 toddlers in my arms in heels and a dress- one crying for her mama, the other asking repeatedly to read him a book- 2 toddlers who I love so much, but make it difficult to remember to hand the bishop my tithing envelope when he steps in to drop off his own son, because I love his son so much also and want to console him as well when the tears start flowing. All of these things greatly reduce the odds of that tithing envelope coming in for a landing ever so smoothly into the hand of the Bishop. Yes, I could do other things, make preparations ahead of time. But truth be told, (and I'm being authentic here) the aforementioned scenario is the typical scene, no matter how much I try to do otherwise. It doesn't last.
So what I'm really asking for is...could you make it so we can pay tithing online? It would make it so much easier to be obedient.....pretty please?

Are you ready for some football?!

Eagles v. Panthers.

My team won 24-13.

Time to bring out the Eagles and Cougars accessories.

Ni hao!

It's Olympics time again. And I love it. I relish watching the Olympics and cheering for our athletes. My favorites in the summer games? Gymnastics, soccer, diving, swimming, and here it comes... wrestling. Yep. I love wrestling. Go ahead. Make fun of me...but then I'll take you down.
And I can, you know. But don't worry, I'll let go as soon as you are calm... or you tap out...but that's another sport.
