"Make Like a Tree and Get Out of Here."

Campaign "Fun Facts"

I just read part of a Newsweek article that talks about the inside stuff that happened during the campaign. I saw this quote and laughed out loud. I figured you all would like to read it.

The debates unnerved both candidates. When he was preparing for them during the Democratic primaries, Obama was recorded saying, "I don't consider this to be a good format for me, which makes me more cautious. I often find myself trapped by the questions and thinking to myself, 'You know, this is a stupid question, but let me … answer it.' So when Brian Williams is asking me about what's a personal thing that you've done [that's green], and I say, you know, 'Well, I planted a bunch of trees.' And he says, 'I'm talking about personal.' What I'm thinking in my head is, 'Well, the truth is, Brian, we can't solve global warming because I f---ing changed light bulbs in my house. It's because of something collective'."

I love our new President!

What a beautiful day.

I don't know about anyone else but I just can't seem to wipe the smile off my face lately. I guess it's just been a good couple of days.

"Getting better all the ti-ii-ime, better, better, better."

In honor of happy things(and the beatles) I thought I'd post a few smilie pictures.

NOVEMBER 4th

A Bug's Life.

Another wonderful Halloween for the record books. Ok, so no records were broken that we know about but it's just more fun to say that way. Avery was very excited to get her Lady Bug costume on but once it was showtime she got a little shy.

But only for a second, then it was off to the races.

After we did the rounds we spent the evening on the front step handing out candy to strangers. I guess it's ok when it's the other way around. Avery made certain that everyone got a piece.

Then she danced a little in hopes that it would lure more kids to our door.

Here is Tuppy in her Bee costume. Avery asked me on Thursday if Tuppy could come with trick or treating. Obviously we said yes but we said she would need a costume so Avery suggested that she dress up like a bug. So there you have it. Tuppy as a bug.

Round about 8:30 we were all starting to wind down and get ready for bed.

But not until after one last dance!

Bare with me on this one.

The sigh at the end of this video sums it all up in less than a word.
