did you know that in colorado you can vote early…and at the mall?

Oct 21, 2008

I do! Bernadette and I met today for a coffee/voting date. The best part was definitely the sticker. And the fact that we brought down the average age in the polling station by about 150 years.

Living in a swing state is fun. It makes your vote feel all special and important. Grab a friend and head to the mall for a voting/window shopping/coffee date! Having someone to wait along with you makes it feel more like a party and less like a trip to the DMV.

(If you’re not sure if your state does early voting, you can be like me and learn about it last night while watching Chuck on hulu.com and then find your polling station here. [Disclaimer: it’s an Obama site, but I couldn’t find an independent version that was as straight forward/quick to use.])

evidence of adventures

Aug 25, 2008

Nic has been fantastic this summer about taking Will on adventures so that I can get work done and Will can get the exercise and adventures he needs. They often take a camera along with them…although sometimes I wish they didn’t.

Because if they hadn’t taken the camera, I wouldn’t have seen this:

Not what my blood pressure needs. But then again, I would have missed out on this:

Friday = Funny Family Home Movies

Aug 22, 2008

I …umm… found this video on You Tube today. It makes me laugh.

Please note that any resemblance to my child, husband, house or backyard is purely coincidental. I would never make a video montage of my baby falling down to end our annual home movie video…and if I did make such a montage, I would never burn a back-up copy, watch it six months later and catch the audio mistake half-way through that sounds like a burp but is really the mom saying “woah” and then try to go back and fix that mistake only to discover that the original files are gone and all that’s left is this defective version that refuses to present an easy fix. I would never do anything like that.
