awesome

this was on the bilboard of a local (icky) fast food joint. the mister and i recently went through dave ramsey's "financial peace university" so i figured i'd snap a phonepic and send it to dave for a good laugh.

political aspirations and such

well, i took what i believe to be the first step in discovering my political self. adam carolla (shocker) was talking about a quiz on usatoday.com that would tell you which presidential candidate best matched your views. so i took it. you can too. go here: http://www.usatoday.com/news/politics/election2008/candidate-match-game.htm

so, since i'm new to this whole political world, am i not supposed to share my results? don't people super-shy away from discussing these things very much?

i'll throw caution to the wind. every single one of my matches was a democrat. and my number one match was barak obama. i think that's nice. not like i'm going to vote solely based on the results of this quiz.

in other news:
i just got these DELICIOUS vera wang shoes. don't be too impressed. they're from her line for kohls, and they were 75% off. but still. they were SCREAMING my name! this picture does NOT do them justice.


also. i've concluded that i HATE these dead celebrity duets thing that seems to be more and more popular these days. seriously. it's creepy and lame and not at all awesome. i saw the one from the grammys, the one on american idol that one time with celine and elvis, elvis with lisa marie....gag. the only time i've ever even a little liked it was way back when natalie cole did one with nat king cole. because that was kinda beautiful. but it needs to stop.

and also....HOORAY FOR THE END OF THE WRITERS STRIKE!!!

and finally, a cute baby picture. couldn't resist.

ok, so i'm video happy

but this is easily one of the greatest things i've seen. do yourself a favor and watch...it's a great pick-me-up

not a political statement

as you'll remember from my 100 things post, i'm not so political...not even responsibly political yet (working on it.) so i'm not posting this as a political statement...i just sincerely think it's inherently beautiful. thought i'd share.
