Santa Claus

Alright I am not really sure if it is spelled clause or claus. I guess I never really thought about it before. Anyways, I took the kids to see Santa yesterday. They were so excited. As soon as Ava saw him, she bursted into tears. She did not want to sit on his lap. So, I had to sit next to santa and hold Ava on my lap and duck behind Mr. Claus. They did pretty good in hiding me out of the picture. But Ava was not happy and did not want to smile. After we left, Logan got upset and asked," why didn't Santa ask me what I wanted for Christmas? Now he'll never know what to get me." So I explained to him that I already told Santa for him. He felt a little relieved but later told me I should give him a call and remind him.

Glenn Beck

Okay, so for those of you who don't know, I obviously have an infatuation with Glenn Beck. I have to prepare you for what you are about to read seems pretty nerdy I know. So I listen to fox news every morning on am radio (dork, I know). Glenn Beck has a program on from 9-11. But before him is Mandy Connell. She was asking a trivia question about Glenn Beck on the radio. The first caller with the correct answer gets a signed copy of his new book, "The Christmas Sweater." I was that person. I called in and got the answer right and went to pick up my signed book later that morning. I couldn't wait to read it. I read it in two days. Well this morning I hear that Glenn Beck decided to come to Fort Myers for a book signing. He is doing a show in Tampa tonight in which the tickets sold out. So I drive right over to the book store and waited in line to meet him and have him sign my already signed book again. I was number 259. When he arrived, he said that he will not: personalize signatures, pose for a photo, or shake hands. One arm was signing while the other was in a sling. (I missed why) So when I finally got up there. I snatched a pic with my phone. He started talking to me and I was such in awe, I don't even remember what he said. And he didn't really talk to anyone except for a , "Hi." Well one of his team members almost gave my book to the person in front of me until I noted, "I believe that one is mine, it has already been signed once." Then Glenn put down his marker and came around to shake my hand. I explained to him how I already had it signed and he replied, "God bless you." along with a wink. We had a moment, I know. So I was so excited afterwards, I made a few phone calls and not one person even knew who he was. That was dissapointing. Well whatever, it made my day! Those of you who don't know should get in the know!

Glenn Beck quote of the day...

Good for you, you have a heart, you can be a liberal. Now, couple your heart with your brain, and you can be a conservative."
