Now read this wonderful fact checking article on Sarah Palin's speech from last night. I had to delve into politics again because the whole internet world was abuzz with... Continue Reading →
This Week(end) In Politics – special Palin edition
I am very glad that I had the first weekend of Pop Warner to distract me from posting a knee-jerk reaction to the Sarah Palin as GOP VP pick announcement. My word, the things I would have missed out on!! I know that I did not do a Biden edition for the Dem side. I... Continue Reading →
5 years ago today
On 8/27/03 I picked up the keys to this house. My first and only home purchase. Five years? Really? I had to go double check on my escrow papers!! Wow. You know what that means? In my adult life, I've lived in this house the longest. Since I was renting before, it was nearly impossible... Continue Reading →

TWIP – Survey SAYS!
Thanks so much to everyone who answered my question last week!

This week in politics – A brave new world
Two thoughts have rambled through my head this week as I watched coverage of the presidential campaign. The first is the rise of Free Ad Time. (dontcha love that it spells out FAT!) The media - again in their desperation for something to say - is now in the business of giving each candidate FAT.... Continue Reading →
This week in politics – so (not) proud of SD Representatives!
Before I do something that I said I would not do (ahem, it's a political topic, going back on my word is not inconsistent with the topic!), I must address the week's big events. Well, really just one Big Event. The most over hyped overseas trip by a presidential candidate EVER! Now, let's be real... Continue Reading →
Dream Dinner #4 + This Week in Politics
Summertime Pasta. Chicken, penne, capers, onions and a very light sauce that was chicken broth based with lemon zest and some other seasons that I just don't remember! But, it was indeed a very light summery flovred pasta which I paired with some peas and carrots. I got 6 servings of this one so I'll... Continue Reading →
