Should She Bow Out?

As much as it pains me, I agree with this letter to Gov. Palin. Plus, I am assuming/hoping that if she stays in the race, it must mean we are in for a party change this fall!

It is Just Tuesday, Nothing Special...

I am really not sure how this is possible!  I am pretty sure that I don't use too many big words!

Band Wagon Reader

I did it!  I finally jumped on the Stephanie Meyer bandwagon and I am so glad I did.  I picked up the first two books at Costco yesterday. Last night after everyone went to bed, I made it 130 pages in and am LOVING it!  Not sure if its the subject, the description of the scenery (since I love the Olympic Peninsula so), or what.

I do love all books that have an element of new tense romance to them (not cheesy Harlequin types though, there has to be a significant plot too).  One of the greatest feelings has to be the uncertainty and electricity leading up to a first kiss.  Considering I started dating my husband when I was just 16, I haven't experienced that too often.  But I love to read about it! 

The weather here is perfect for reading too this weekend - Windy and overcast.  This summer I had a really hard time reading anything.  Not sure if it was the sun or the topics of the books I had around.  But this book and this weather make for an irresistible temptation for me!  Good thing we have free hockey tickets tonight or I might never leave the recliner.

Not Sure Why This Made Me Cry...

But it so did! This was done by Amy Krouse Rosenthal who wrote one of my favorite grown up books, "An Encyclopedia of an Ordinary Life"

I really can't recommend it enough; but only if you have a certain sense of humor. She also has written some really cute kids books that we like too, like "Little Pea".

This event is great and I am really excited to see the end product! (I have no idea what is going on with the formatting, blogger is in a weird place tonight)

I Just Can't Help Myself...

Those of you who know what I do for a living know that I just can't let this one go...

VP nominee didn’t buckle baby

In a front-page article profiling vice presidential nominee Gov. Sarah Palin (Sept. 7, 2008, "Palin's Family Has Always Held a Place in Her Politics,") The Washington Post reported an incident in which Gov. Palin rode in a motor vehicle, holding her infant son, Trig, in her arms instead of properly restraining him in a car seat "for a short distance." When the incident was criticized by Gov. Palin’s public safety commissioner, The Post reports that she "dismissed the complaint as petty." Safe Kids USA has submitted a letter to the editor of The Post in response to this article and will let you know if and when it gets published.
