Glenn Beck quote of the day...

"It's not about left and right, it's about right and wrong."

Breckenridge...

71 Days until ski trip....
(Not that I'm counting)

Written by a Glenn Beck fan...

"Once upon a time there was a very happy couple. Their names were freedom and capitalism. They married and had many wonderful children. Their names were independence, self-worth, hard work, dignity, charity, faith and hope. They all lived happily for many years and the children respected their parents and loved them both very much. But freedom and capitalism later had several naughty children, very naughty. They weren't so respectful and never appreciated their parents. Their names were wealth envy, environmentalism, animal rights activism, racism, feminism, ultra liberalism. These evil children blamed their parents for everything and hated their parents' freedom and capitalism. In fact, these unappreciative children began to hate their parents since they didn't realize their parents gave them everything they had and didn't realize that they wouldn't even exist without their parents. They hated their parents so much, they began to plot with their neighbors to kill their parents and to keep their home. Their neighbors' names were socialism and communism who on the outside were a very lovely couple but inside they were very, very ugly. They and their children, whose names were despair, poverty, suffering, and repression had been welcomed into every neighborhood they had lived in. But then thrown out after years of suffering and the loss of many lives. So late one night in total darkness because socialism and communism did everything in darkness and the way from the light of the truth, while everyone was asleep, wealth envy, environmentalism, feminism, animal rights, by their younger obnoxious brother, Hollywood, disguised by socialism and communism and let them into the house, freedom and capitalism. It wasn't hard for the two parents, freedom and capitalism, always left their gates and their door open for everyone. Wealth led the way because he knew the house oh, so well. The evil children led socialism and communism throughout the house, one room at a time. And one at a time they killed hard work, then dignity, then independence, self-worth, charity and faith. They finally found the room of freedom and capitalism and killed them as well. It wasn't hard to do, since freedom and capitalism always left their door unlocked and open for everyone. Only hope survived. Hope survived hiding in the closet. She ran out during the ensuing celebration. After socialism and communism moved in, things went well for a while but then they decided they didn't like freedom and capitalism's evil children, either. They wanted their own children to have the rooms in their new house. So late one night in total darkness because socialism and communism did everything in darkness and away from the light of the truth, they sent their children to kill freedom and capitalism's remaining evil children. Poverty and suffering killed environmentalism and animal rights first, for they were so hungry, they had to kill all the animals for food and the trees for their wood. And besides, why should animals have rights if people don't? Hopelessness killed liberalism, the retarded brother of communism. Then poverty, suffering, and repression killed feminism. The retarded sister of liberalism. And Hollywood, the young obnoxious son of freedom and capitalism, was also killed. Finally, wealth envy, who led the attack on his parents, died at the hands of poverty since there was nothing left to envy.
So socialism and communism and their children, poverty, despair, hopelessness, suffering, repression lived in the once beautiful home of freedom and capitalism which was now in great disrepair and they all lived sadly ever after. All that was left of the family of freedom and capitalism was hope who was quietly hiding in the woods.

Halo 3

I am obsessed with this game, what is wrong with me? I was up until 3 am the other night playing online. Okay seriously, it's fun. But maybe it's because I have played Halo from day one and I am evolving with it. I know there is obviously a problem though. I am mother of two playing against like 10-15 year olds. To me it's like therapy. I can get all my frustrations out by killing these little adolescents. Hey at least I didn't get the head set, that would be a little too overboard. Even though I was contemplating it. Ha!

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."

Thanksgiving 2008

Turkey day!!!

Well Turkey day is on it's way. Thanksgiving that is. The kids each made lots of goodies at school and said what they were thankful for. Logan was thankful for his family and his dog and his lunch I make him everyday. Ava was thankful for ballerinas.

Tata for now, I have lots of cooking to catch up on.

Ski Trip

Yay! Everything is booked! I am looking forward to hitting the slopes in February with those of you who are lucky enough to be included. The only thing that sucks is waiting until then... I'm ready now! Oh and did I mention our house is like 10,500 ft. elevation?

Girls day out...

So I think I could be creating a diva. Actually I know I am and I think it may already be too late to change. I am talking about my little princess, see there I go, I should have just said Ava. We had a girls day yesterday. The boys played golf while the girls went shopping. She loves it WAY TO MUCH. And I can't say the apple falls far from the tree. I was the same way when I was her age and still am. So I am sympathetic to whomever she marries. The whole purpose of the shopping trip was to get Ava & Logan a few more winter clothes. They outgrow everything every season. Must be nice, new wardrobe every season. Well I was right on track with Logan and got exactly what he needed. Ava however is another story. She made out like a bandit and sweet talked me the whole way. Looking back, I can't believe she already outwitted me. I mean she got stuff she totally didn't need. Like another ballerina tutu. I mean she already has three. More skinny jeans, she's catching up to me. She was lucky they didn't have her size in all the shoes she wanted. She loves flats! An leggings, c'mon. I swear she must have every color and pattern possible. She has a closet to make any 3 year old girl envious. And that's the thing, she's only 3. She ended up with: skinny jeans, cords, leggings, tutu, scarves, pajamas, panties, holiday dress, headbands, shoes, long sleeve shirts, short sleeved shirts, sweatshirt, pea coat, gloves, hats, socks, and some Hello Kitty stuff. Well, when I finally got out of there, she of course was hungry and wanted a milkshake. What else could I do right, I just had to top it off. So I was proceeding to go through a drive-thru until she was begging me please, "let's go to a restaurant." So...what Ava wanted, she got. Oh, and the whole time she is constantly re-applying her Tinkerbell lip gloss. Now I guess I have some serious toughening up to do!
