Image via Wikipedia It's my birthday! I'm 43 today, and I'm feeling pretty good. I got to sleep in this morning, and later today, Chris and I are going to the movies. Other than that, it should be a regular day. Thanks for stopping by to leave me a birthday comment! I started this tradition in 2007 when I turned 40, and wrote a post saying all I wanted for my birthday was 40 comments. I did the same thing in 2008 and 2009, so now here it is my birthday again, and I'm hoping for 43 comments! I realize that few people read blogs on Saturdays let alone leave comments, but it would really mean a lot to me. If you could spread the word on Twitter or Facebook or on your blog that I'm really hoping to get 43 comments today, it would be the best birthday gift you could give me! Unless, of course, you wanted to send me a Blackberry or an iPhone or a freshly baked chocolate cake. Those would be good too :) Here's to being 43! … [Read more...]

Things I’m Thinking About Today – 1/28
1. The President's State of the Union Address - we let the boys stay up until 10:00, even though the President was still talking we had to get them to bed since they get up at 6:00 am for school (yes, that is crazy early, the bus comes at 6:45). We kept pausing the TV because as he was talking, it was bringing up issues that we wanted to discuss further with the boys. We talked about the difference between the Senate and the House, we talked about the Supreme Court and their overturning of campaign spending limits, we explained the Joint Chiefs of Staff, pointed out our own representatives - both Debbie Stabenow and Carl Levin were front and center! We marveled over the fact that Al Franken, who is the most Junior of the Junior Senators, was sitting right behind the Joint Chiefs of Staff (we thought seating had something to do with seniority). And we discussed the fact that Joe Biden was wearing a purple striped tie, Nancy Pelosi was wearing a lavender suit, and Michele Obama … [Read more...]
