I just had the oddest thought about how nice cool sheets will feel to climb into in the fall. Of course, that means waiting through the spring until we can finally take the heavy blankets off then sweltering through the summer and then getting to the point of warmish days and cool nights. And sleeping with the window open again--won't that be nice? I'm done with winter. |

The meme: Post the first sentence of the first entry of the month for every month of the year.
January: I should maybe rename this thing.
February: Dang! I've been so busy!
March: Well, first the fun stuff:
April: Nada
May: Jeez, why is it that I seem to have these experiences semi-regularly?
June: I've been avoiding talking about work here because it's such a big thing that I can barely get my arms around it.
July: It's a wee bit lame, but I finally added some posts to my veggie blog.
August: If there are one or more people on your friends list who make your world a better place just because they exist, and who you would not have met (in real life or not) without the Internet, then post this same sentence in your journal.
September: Trying to do some decluttering recently so I've been going through some older photos, getting them organized.
October: Kira and I attended the Feast this year all on our owns.
November: Thrilled. Just thrilled.
December: Oh, my, I'm so irregular.
Well, that was fun! |

Thrilled. Just thrilled.
I'll need to post my election experiences soon, but I'm too giddy tonight. Tonight, I'm just happy that it's Barack Obama's dulcet tones that we get to hear for four years rather than Palin's nasally where-the-hell-is-she-from accent. I'm reveling in living in a blue state without even having to rent a U-Haul. I'm loving the classy Obama family, especially beautiful and strong Michelle and their adorable daughters. Could you imagine Michelle ever showing up at Sturgis and being offered up, even jokingly, to a topless contest? The grownups are heading to Washington! Yee-haw! No-drama Obama sounds good. Hope instead of fear-fear-fear sounds good. YES WE CAN! |

I'm a wee bit fed up with all the "do you remember where you were..." that today has inspired. Not from people who actually have a connection! I appreciate hearing what lillith went through on that day. I can reflect on some other people I know who were actually affected by the events. But too many people that I heard from today wanted to talk about it like it was a fucking reality TV program. I live in the Midwest. My most vivid physical memory from that day and afterwards wasn't sirens and smoke, it was a blissfully plane-free sky. After getting saturated with the news, I'd take a blanket out back and throw it out on the grass and just reflect on that--no contrails, no noise, infinity undisturbed. My husband was supposed to go on a business trip that week--to Boston!--and I waffled if I should put my foot down. I wanted to say, "You're not going," but luckily his company and the FAA decided that for me. My dad was out of the country and I was worried about that--how would he get back? When? What if things got worse? What if it spread? But I trusted my dad to be resourceful. And those, plus an overwhelming but general sorrow, are my concerns from that time. Knowing that people went through so much more and knowing that the great sympathy of the world and the great spirit of unity in our country was abused and twisted by the Bush administration leaves me feeling like I don't want to hear about any of it, especially from someone who still thinks the big, bad Iraqis did it. And to have someone go from "do you remember..." to "then do you remember where you were when Elvis died?"--which I actually heard today--makes me feel like some people just want a connection to the Big Event which seems to dishonor the whole thing. |

I can't stand that Sarah Palin bitch! And I don't even care if the term bitch is sexist!
She's like Tina Fey without Teh Funny. Teh Funny is the only thing that redeems Tina Fey from being annoying. (Well, some people think she's Teh Hot.) And on top of being annoying, Palin's vindictive and low class. Community organizing is funny, huh? And she sold the plane on eBay? Are there not lots of places in Alaska that are easier to get to via plane? And that bridge? I heard she was for it before she were agin' it and that she didn't really say "no thanks," the Alaskan senate did. And they kept the money anyway! And her earmark opposition, the sign of a good maverick? Well, maybe she wasn't a maverick when she was a mayor because she hired a lobbyist to bring in earmark money for her town. Oh, and the plane again! So, she sold the "luxury jet" but she imposed a new tax on Wasilla so that the hockey mom could build a state-of-the-art hockey rink and winter sport complex.
Sarah Palin is a sham and her future son-in-law CHEWED GUM on stage as he shook hands with a senator. Pure class, these people. |

It stormed tonight (yay! rain!) and the power went out which left me ranting...There is NO WAY I'm cleaning up that basement again! If the power is not on in a half hour, I'm going to Lowe's and buying a frickin' generator! Grrrr! Grrrrr!
It did come back on. Whew! |

I'm so sick of politics right now and I'm going to lay that at McCain's feet for foisting an unvetted Sarah Palin on us. It's gotten so ugly and uncomfortable. |

Trying to do some decluttering recently so I've been going through some older photos, getting them organized. I came across this photo of Kira and me from the back, showing off our pony tails. Oh, my! What a tacky scrunchie I was wearing! It distressed me greatly! Early motherhood, I told myself. Bits of brains that went out with the placenta. Then I flipped to the next photo and laughed! It wasn't me at all, but an old girlfriend of a friend who had the tendency to latch on to Kira and be all sweet to, I suppose, show the friend what a great mother she'd make. She got on my nerves somewhat so I was gleeful that the tacky scrunchie was actually hers. Ha! Of course, schadenfreude inevitably bites you in the butt, doesn't it? Because a few more photos on I found one of me. My haircut was ATROCIOUS! I kept looking it at--is that real? It looked drawn-on. It was this horribly severe wedge-shaped bob--what was I thinking?! I guess the only thing I can say for it--it wouldn't have fit in that tacky scrunchie. |

Holy moly, YES! |
