NOT IN KANSAS ANYMORE

I am in Indiana visiting the in-laws.

Can't write much.

Thought I saw children coming out of the corn last night.

The cows definitely came home.

I kinda like it here.....

WHAT DID SHE SAY?

After watching this video on Dooce.com I had to repost it and ask the same question Heather Armstrong does.

WHY IN THE HOLY HELL DID MCCAIN PICK THIS WOMAN TO BE HIS RUNNING MATE?!?

He is so experienced in military and obviously well educated on the topic and she...
she is "neighbors with Russia". Uh...and? I am 190 miles away from Cuba. Does that make me qualified in foreign policy....HELL NO!

Watch this and if you are a Palin fan, please explain to me what I am missing. I don't feel like I can relate to her on any level.

HOCKEY MOM

WHERE'S MY LIPSTICK DAMMIT?!?

I've officially taken Reagan to her first kiddie birthday party. Does that mean I've crossed over to that side of life where I need to get a mini van and dress in all pastel? Should I have a cardigan tied around my shoulders? What's the deal? This is all new to me. Before yesterday I was pretty comfortable just hanging with the roo (her nickname) and being pretty isolated from all the "soccer mom" type activities.

Does this also mean that I've been accepted by the "pack"? Did the women at her playgroup hold a secret meeting in a kitchen somewhere? Did they break out the Martha Stewart Living magazine and pray over it? Did they drop a ball of yarn and some knitting needles and depending on the way it landed determine whether I was accepted? I just don't really understand!

I was sitting at the bowling alley last night (where the party was held) just looking around in awe. It's like that sticker that says: "Come to the dark side, we have cookies."

Well, looks like I have started down a lavender colored path filled with scones, Paula Deen and all Organic products.....



That picture is not me, nor will I ever look like that.

LOOK AT ME GO

I turned 28 today and I can honestly say there was a time in my early twenties when I didn't think I'd live to see another birthday. I've come a LONG way since those days and it seems like life is just starting for me.

I look forward to meeting the future with open arms.

All I know is that I want to live old enough to set off fire alarms when they light the candles on my cake.

I want to be the old woman in those greeting cards. Wrinkled with coke bottle glasses making people smile.

Yep...that's what I want!

HAPPY DAY OF BIRTH

Happy Birthday Aislyn! And many more!

STATES OF MIND

This is too funny.

Where does your state stand?

Pennsylvania ranks number 6 on the list for neuroticism....ha

NEED HELP?

I have no idea what to dress Reagan up as for Halloween.

Any suggestions?

I want it to be something original. I know that is pretty impossible these days but NO princesses, ELMO, bugs, fruit or veggies....

HELP ME!!

THE HEADLINE SAYS IT ALL.
