Oh, and I wrote myself in today ....really!

When given the choice for District 3's Congressional seat, I was left unable to make a choice between the candidates. All three candidates had platforms full of hate and intolerance. They are so intolerant it made my skin crawl. I debated over what to do. So, when I got there, and was faced with the choice, I wrote myself in. I wish had at least campaigned a little. I think I could have gotten at least 7 votes. Although, I will not be heading to Washington anytime soon, at least, I can sleep at night knowing I supported someone who does not have an agenda of hate and bigotry, but rather one of acceptance, love, and growth.

Freezing my balls off

Baby, it is cold outside. So cold, I have been on the couch under a blanket with the fireplace on for the last two hours. Piper is freezing her balls off too! She hates the cold. And think of poor Dalan, who is the member of this family who is working in a cold warehouse, and the only one with actual balls. He must be literally freezing his balls off.

At least, I have 90210 to keep me warm, and the fact, it looks like Obama will be our next President.....that really warms my heart and soul.

Tonight I became my mother

While I was growing up my mother would rearrange the dishwasher every time someone other than her did the dishes. It drove me nuts. It always made me think of the saying, "there is more than one way to skin a cat." (which is a saying I hate by the way, due to the visual it leaves in my mind, and my love for all of God's creatures, well, all of God's creatures, except pigeons and box elder bugs.)

Well, tonight I got home from dinner at my parents, and decided to load the dishes sitting in the sink from lunch and last night's snacks into the dishwasher. Dalan had cleared the dishwasher yesterday, and loaded a few things into it while I was sick in bed. I have totally been in awe of all the household stuff Dalan has been doing since the wedding, while I, on the other hand, have been struggling to keep up with work and my class, let alone the house. Anyway, I looked how it was loaded and I had to rearrange it. All I could think about is how many more items I could put in the dishwasher if I did it my way! Maybe it is the environmentalist in me not wanting to waste water. Maybe it is the lazy side of me wanting to do all the dishes in one load instead of two. OR maybe, just maybe, I have become my mother....which is not a bad thing :-)

A girl and her wedding dress

Amy took some beautiful pictures of me in my wedding dress. Since a girl only gets to wear this fancy, fabulous, and expensive dress for one day, I thought I would share some of the pictures of with you all, so it would get to be appreciated a few more times.

My new fav Christmas song

I think this is the song my class will be singing at the holiday sing a long at school this year. It is awesome!

Halloween Sickness

Last night, Dalan, Piper, and I went to my parents' house to eat some Halloween dinner and see the little trick or treaters. We showed up in our full Charlotte's Web gear. My spider costume turned out pretty well, thanks to Dalan fixing my sewing machine, so I could put everything together at the last minute.

We then went to Jen and Gil's for their annual Halloween party. They had their house decked out in a Nightmare Before Christmas theme, and their costumes looked great. We had a lot of fun, but I was feeling a bit under the weather so we did not stay too late, and I only got a few pictures.

Today, I have been feeling worse. I have felt this bad the day after Halloween before, but it was because I ate too much candy or drank way too much, this time it is just a damn cold! However, Dalan has been taking good care of me, and even cleaned the whole house today while I was in bed. What a great guy, and so far, my track record of being a good housekeeper as a wife is poor, very poor!

Wilbur, Templeton, and Charolette...Piper was pissed and did not want to look at the camera.

This is my favorite....she is "some pig"

Nghia as Inbred Jed. His shorts were dangerously short. You can also see Patti lurking in the background dressed as a cow.
