Cougar Alert!

Album out November 18

Palin Power!

Beautiful WARM day for a Palin Rally. We were standing in the way back near the news vans and near 10 protesters who kept trying to get on camera. Beautiful skies by the way. I have a lot more pictures and it was really was a gorgeous day!
Charlotte the photographer taking a pic of her toes for the event. Looking good! She shreds her hand wipes and then decorates her shoes with them. Maybe a phase, but she's running with it.!
Looking good mom and dad at least from Charlotte's prospective. Or at least big red giants! We were asked to wear red to keep VA red this November.
Little Nora so proud holding our tickets! This is when we first got there and we didn't have the crowds around us YET! Two pictures below a hasty photo editing so maybe you can see Palin. She's in the center with Todd, a snow machine champion, and Hank Williams Jr. He sang the national anthem and a song dissing the liberal media. I can't remember how it went but it was pretty funny.

My girl on the ground and my girl in the sky. I had Char on my shoulders in the beginning until she started screaming she had to SIT DOWN during the Pledge of Allegiance!
This photo should have been at the top. Sarah making her entrance on the Straight Talk Express. The whole place went wild when the bus pulled in. We were hooting and hollering and chanting USA and SARAH. I heard DRILL BABY DRILL but that didn't extend to our area.
We kinda left after Sarah started speaking because it was getting hot, the girls were VERY restless and thirsty, and we had dance at 4:30 and Sarah didn't start her speech until 3:00. We got some yard signs (already up!) and bumper stickers on our way out. All in all a very cool time for all. If you want to see pics from Richmond Times click here and watch the slide show. You'll also hear Hank's song about McCain/Palin.
Good news....at end of dance parents were invited in to watch some dancing and Charlotte danced! Last time she became very shy when all the parents crowded in to watch the kids and left her place to stand with me. This time Nora and Charlotte both were tapping and were fantastic!

Weird weird weird

There are a lot of people in VA with No teeth.

First.... another tree guy stopped by to see if he could take down the dead tree we have already paid another toothless guy to take down. Where is he by the way, we paid him in August and still no show?...says he's waiting til the bees that inhabit the tree are dead.

Second....Craig informs me Tuesday night at 11pm, he put some furniture that we currently have stored in our garage on Craigslist. Sure...whatever.
Wed. am calls start bright and early for Nora's crib set. Strange guy from Williamsburg calls and says he's on his way to check out our desk, He keeps calling back to ask dumb questions...who's the maker, can you fit a keyboard in the middle drawer....etc. It was weird... so next time we put some stuff on, it has to be on a weekend so he can handle the weirdos.

Third...We decide to go out for ice cream after dinner on Friday night. We want to try this place in Colonial Heights that advertises custard. We love custard...we think we're getting Abbotts, but it's all a lie!! All they are serving is freezer burned ice cream out of Costco buckets with burnt hot fudge. I would have turned around right there but we were being harassed by another toothless weirdo who liked our Hummer. He told Craig his family invented the hummer and dug out a crusty wallet to show Craig his ID. So I didn't want to take my family out into the dark night with this whack job who's begging Craig to let him look at the truck's engine. So I order us these stale ice creams to keep us in the shop and hopefully this homeless guy will leave us alone. He finally disappears and we're left with expensive gross stinky ice cream.

Yeehaw! Craig finished the venting tonight for the range. He built that entire cabinet housing the vent out of pieces of the cabinets we removed. Pure talent that man! It was SO heavy! I had to help lift it in the house and up on the counter. I told him no way I could stand on the counter and hold it up on the wall while he screwed it in. Hence the ghetto stands we created to take a load off me! Heehee!

Boo hiss!!

Why do they let Kenley get away with this?!?

Her dress is so obviously a knockoff of Alexander McQueen's wedding gown it's beyond ridiculous!

She's been rehashing fashion from the forties all season long and her nasal voice and rolling eyes are very annoying.

I'm annoyed.

Yowsers!

OH YEAH!

We're all going! I got this email yesterday morning, called Craig to see if he could take the time off and received an affirmative from him, then I printed our Tickets!

Very cool for Nora and Charlotte to go to this. I'm just excited that they are going to be able to be a little part of this historic election. Now I need to see if I can bring in a camera. I'm really excited!

Debate tonight!

Thanks to Aunt Sue Sue, the girls are totally styling at school again this year. Char's skirt looks like an old lady skirt that hits her in the calf, but it actually hits her knee.
Char was running around so her skirts and everything else she wears has a tendency to slide down on her little hips when she's active.
I've been working on all kinds of crafts lately. The girls and I have a lot of projects going on right now. When we aren't play dating, we're usually in the playroom doing our arts and crafts.

This layout of Lulu is not complete, but I love that picture of the BOOZY! LOL...how do you spell that nickname! I'm not sure who's foot was on her face. Who abused you Lulu? Will finish this later this week.
I've also been making these felt flowers and attaching them to barrettes for the girls to wear in their hair. I've also been making felt appliques for their clothes and sewing/gluing them on. Budget crunch time means mommy is only spending money on necessities and we've been altering some old clothes to reflect some new styles we like. Yeah...I'm thrifty (Craig) like that!

Debate is tonight.....I feel nervous.

Silly

Comic relief: Joe Depot!

I need a chuckle. Don’t you?
Team McCain points out that in his quest to pose as Ordinary Joe, Beltway Insider Joe Biden rattled off the Main Street places he like to hang out:
“Can I respond? Look, all you have to do is go down Union Street with me in Wilmington or go to Katie’s Restaurant or walk into Home Depot with me where I spend a lot of time and you ask anybody in there whether or not the economic and foreign policy of this administration has made them better off in the last eight years.” — Joe Biden
His local paper snorted:
“During the debate, Joe Biden gave several Delaware shout-outs, including Wilmington’s Union Street… Maybe, I heard this wrong, or misunderstood, but I think he mentioned Katie’s restaurant…… Wilmington used to have a Katie’s restaurant - way back in the day - and it was in Little Italy, as is Union Street, but I’m almost positive Katie’s wasn’t on Union Street. And it hasn’t been Katie’s in, well, years. Maybe he said Kozy’s - as in Kozy Korner?” — The News Journal
My friends at American Elephants snorted, too — and sent a pefect photoshop of Home Depot Joe:
He’s just like you and me…except he’s not.

I snorted at this too. I told Craig, Palin should have turned to him and asked him what the last thing he bought at Depot was. What a crock!

Anyway I pulled this from Michelle Malkin's blog. Good reading.
