Yay!

I got my MoveOn.org Obama shirt in the mail yesterday.  I was wondering when it would be coming.  I know I am a huge dork for wanting it…but I couldn’t help it.  It fits perfectly and D just shook his head and laughed at me.  I just might wear it to work one day and see what kind of debate it sparks   All in good fun of course.

We are getting new windows!  I am very excited.  Our current windows are old and drafty and in the winter we have a hard time keeping our house at an even temperature.  It seems like if the heat isnt running its freezing in there.  So we are getting new energy efficient windows in like two weeks after they are made.  Hopefully our gas bill will drop a bit this winter. 

My best turned me on to a wonderful new wine.  Its made in the northern part of Michigan’s lower peninsula in Traverse City.  Its a sweet red.  And its delicious slightly chilled.  Seems weird for a red to be chilled but believe me its wonderful.  I had to have a glass last night just because its that good… I couldn’t wait.

Baby Girl is almost one.  She will be at the end of the month so I am trying to plan her party right now.  I know that she wont remember a thing, but family members get all excited over first birthday parties and want to take a million pictures.  And Im excited myself.  I cannot believe that she is already so big.  Where did the time go?  And I have to admit, that I love throwing parties in general so its just one more excuse

McCain dropped his campaign in Michigan, deeming it a “loss”.  Apparently we were hit too hard in the economic crisis (which we have been for quite some time) and his numbers in the polls started to drop dramatically.  He will stop running his TV ads and cancelled his scheduled visits to the state.  I almost see this as a mini victory.  I said to myself: “yes!  My state is not yours! ”  And that makes me happy.  Hopefully everyone shows up to vote on the 4th and lets Michigan be an Obama state.  Michigan is usually a swing state but the past few elections have went to the blue side mostly because of the economy and the fact that jobs are not stable in the Big 3 auto market.  Its a shame though.

Does anyone have any insight on Obama’s stance on Unions?  Ive tried to research it, but it all seems to be hear-say and speculation and not fact.  I’d like some good solid information on that.  Thanks for your help.

I’d really like a glass of warm apple cider right now with a fresh old fashioned doughnut.  Maybe I can talk D into going to the cider mill or apple orchard this weekend.
