Just to prove what a dork I am

January 30, 2008

I love politics. One of my majors in college was political science. Doug and I can be up all night talking about politics. I love to watch the State of the Union. My problem is that I like to pretend that George Bush isn't president. So I started ignoring politics. I haven't watched a State [...]

We interrupt this regularly scheduled programing to make fun of turkey pardoning

November 21, 2007

If you do nothing else tonight, read this. Now, imagine I am sitting in my living room doing a dramatic reading of it. Okay, I have to admit I have always hated the turkey pardoning tradition. It's ridiculous and stupid and I don't even eat turkey and it's just dumb, dumb, dumb. When I pay [...]

6 years ago

September 11, 2007

6 years ago, today, I was on my honeymoon in the Outerbanks of North Carolina. We walked into the breakfast room of the lovely inn we were staying at, and watched a plane fly into the Twin Towers. Like most honeymooners, we had not watched TV for the week we were away. I had no [...]

Now to get to the controversial questions

March 30, 2007

Jen asked "what made you so strongly pro-choice?" I have been thinking about how to answer this since Jen asked. And the answer is, I don't understand how you can't be pro-choice. I mean, I guess if you believe life begins at conception then you believe abortion is murder, but I just simply can't understand [...]

I’m it

March 21, 2007

I've been tagged by Chrisanne which is so cool, because I've never been tagged before. I'm so honored. And, it's great because I was running out of pictures to posts and had no idea what to write about. (oh, you want to hear details of the birthday parties, and not just see pictures?)

From the mouth of babes

January 28, 2007

I was sitting on the floor reading the Washington Post while Michael was playing. He walked over to the paper, pointed at a picture of Dick Cheney, and said, "Monkey."
