"Hey mom, did you know that I'm friends with two fifth graders?"
"No, that sounds pretty cool though."
"Yeah, and then there are these two other fifth graders- who are totally my arch nemesis."
I then realized that I'm only a year and a half away from being a mother to an actual fifth grader and I gave myself a heart attack and died. The end.

God Bless Keith Olbermann. That is all.
Olbermann's special comment on the passing of Prop 8 in California. Very eloquent.

It's a New Dawn, It's a New Day, And I'm Feeling...Sick.
I generally tend to deny it when I'm sick and do something stupid like run 5 miles in the cold or paint the living room but today I'm on the couch in my slippers doing some online Christmas shopping. Yay! I may be married to to a Grinch but I love Christmas and you can't stop me. I've got a pile of new cookie recipes to try and maybe if I'm good then Santa will put a Kitchen Aid mixer in my stocking. Ava's birthday is coming up in a few weeks and I've already got her party booked at the gymnastics gym and I'll be starting on her video shortly. Five. Years. Old. Not only do I not have babies anymore, but I don't even have toddlers. They are both gigantic. (Hopefully gigantic enough to enjoy a trip to Washington D.C. because we are headed there for all the inauguration festivities in January!) These past two weeks since the election have been interesting since I haven't spent hours a day immersed in political commentary and polling data. Welcome back to the regular world I guess- a grey, sunless world where night falls at 4:30. I'm still following some disputed Senate races (hello Minnesota, Alaska and Georgia!) and I'm pretty steamed about Prop 8 in California but I'm at leat trying to take a little break from politics and focus on more light-hearted things for the time being. Bring on the turkey! My new longer distance running regimen really makes me crave the carbs.

All Voted Up.

I woke up this morning and immediately started humming this song:

I Stole This Photo Off Steph's Blog Because I Love It.
Have I mentioned how restless I am today? I'm totally shirking all responsibilities and killing time on the internet. I'm not afraid to admit it either.
I. Can't. Wait.
I'm re-posting this video from the primary season just because it makes me feel all warm and tingly.
I posted this entry on July 28, 2004. What an amazing road it's been since then!
