As utterly disgusted as I am at the choice of candidates this election, I am obviously going to vote.
My 2 big problems and this is my "emotional" opinion of these two men.
I am sick of old white men running everything in this country, from business to politics, and then just wrecking it it all.
Kudos to the ones that do not act on greed and don't wreck everything, but unfortunately the ones that do seem to outnumber you guys….
Yeah…I said it.I don't believe spending only 143 working days of your senate term should be awarded with the presidency.
I believe this seriously dumbs down our presidency and makes us a joke.
Yeah….I said it.Those are my two "emotional issues" with these two candidates.
I have spent time looking at the issues and their voting records and I will vote with the one that matches my views, closest….based on their voting records, not on the crap they are talking about during their campaigns. I will put aside my emotional issues and just vote with the facts.
<sigh>
I am not thrilled either way.
This election, quite frankly, sucks.If you are, at the last moment, still unsure of who to vote for, here is a good site.
Take a look, lots of good information in there!Happy Voting!

Check these out!
It's personal info cards, geared toward teens/tweens.
I did up two today, so I could put them up and for sale on my business website.
I am super excited at how they came out and I think it is an awesome idea…I really think these could sell really, really well, especially with Christmas upon us….
I need to make quite a few more. I am charging $25 to design one from scratch but only $10 if you use an already made one and I just have to put in the info…..so I need to get a bunch more done, so people have a lot to choose from.
What do you think?
I think they are really good! I have to fine tune them…I'm seeing a couple of minor placement mistakes.
Soooo…..anyone that knows anyone with a teen/tween age kid and wants to be my first client, go to
At A Glance Graphics. Hire me!!! <wink>Feedback always welcome!
Most people that read my blog, don't comment, so if you do want to give me feedback, I will gladly accept emails! LOL -
last night was a spectacular game….it really was an awesome game of good, clean football.
long drives, good defense, good offenses..nice mix of running and passing, hardly any penalties….oh wait.
Until someone on OUR team decides to friggin' keep blocking once the play was OVER and THAT nice little mistake cost us a 15 YARD PENALTY, which brought up 3rd and 16!!!! Did we convert? OF COURSE NOT.
We WERE in field goal range, which would've tied the game!Soooo utterly annoying!!!
But other than that….it really was a good, good game and our team looked really good out there!
I'm happy about that…would've liked to have won the game or at least not lost to a stupid mistake, but oh well….looking at the bright side…we may have lost but hey…we looked good doing it!Happy Monday!

Pink has a new album out…..
They released the first single, "So What?" awhile ago (obviously) and I am, quite frankly, getting really friggin' sick of it. They are so over playing it. It was good the first, oh I don't know….5 thousand times. lol.
Anyway, I love Pink…..and I swear I love her more and more with every album she puts out.There are a few songs off the album that I fell in love with the moment I read the lyrics…and then have fallen even more in love once I heard the music. Awesome, awesome songs….
I'll wind up posting them all eventually…here's one for starters.
And with that…This is so my new theme song!
Make sure you listen, it's a fun, fun, FUN song!!
I so love it!!!
The music, the lyrics..the everything….!!!Here's the lyrics in case you can't see them.

It's FUN! -
When I design something, sometimes it just comes together on it's own, perfectly…..
Then there's times that I look at it and go "something's just not right" and then proceed to mess with the fonts. That's typically the first thing I try to change up when a design isn't coming together right. And I can spend a lot of time doing this (do you have any idea just how many fonts there are??) trying different fonts, then maybe moving things around…..it can be frustrating.I was poking around this morning on some graphic design sites (I love looking at design stuff…very inspiring!) and came across this….
I tried it, just for fun and I think I like it!
We'll see how it works out when I am actually stuck and need it. lolI just got a kick out of it and thought I'd share.

Okay….so as everyone knows we have been crazy busy and Zak has been working his butt off.
He has been doing real estate stuff but as we all know, the market isn't exactly booming…but there is something else he has been working on and we are super excited about it.
He got the site up and running this week and we have already gotten orders! Whoo-hoo!
Everyone we have told so far is really excited about it too and that's really cool.
My sister wants to make one for working out, Shelly is thinking of doing one for quitting smoking….yay!!I am so excited about this, for him. And it's something he's really passionate about and believes in wholeheartedly so I think that will make selling it to people easy for him, which is good. In all honesty, Zak isn't that great of a salesman but what he is great at is people and doing anything he can to help them. That's his true passion….and with this, he's not just helping someone buy or sell a house, he's helping people make themselves better.
I'm psyched and I can't wait to see what he does with this….I think he's gonna have a blast. lol.And I vow, from this moment on, I will never, ever listen to a cd he makes me ever again.
<wink> Ha!And now on to MY news…lol.
Zak doing his thing….did I mention he designed the website himself? having no experience with code or anything at all? I'm impressed….!!!…..It's a darn good website for his first time trying……anyway….he motivated me to finally bring one of my many ideas to action, instead of just talking about it and designing the logo. lol.
How awesome is that??
Isn't the name kick ass? And the tag line ROCKS!
<patting self on the back>
ha!
Seriously, I love, love, love it! I am so excited….:-)
I have to finish it….I have to rewrite the about me section…it's not reading well…..and I have to get a payment button in there..duh…..and I'd like that cool contact me button to have a link to email…..but I was just so excited that I had to share!You know me….hate getting left out….and I couldn't just tell you about Zak's news and not mine!
ha!!!Let me know what you think, especially with Zak's site because there were some bugs in it this week that he had to fix (thank you Ceci and Shelly for helping!!!) so we really are looking for some feedback….
Click, click, click!!!!!
Thanks!

It's my sister's birthday today.
Yay!!!I love birthday's!
Nothing major planned, just cake, ice cream and family time.
It's all crappy and rainy out, which is a bummer, especially given how beautiful it was yesterday….but meh, we'll still make it a beautiful day for my sister!
I have not gotten to be with my sister on her birthday in years and I am so excited to be able to celebrate with her, finally. We got to hang out for a few minutes this morning before she left for work and that was nice.
My mom is gonna make her a cool whip cake, which is soooo yummy. She used to make them all the time for us when we were kids and it's an awesome treat when she does it now. I can't wait already….lol.
Happy, Happy Birthday sister!
mwah! -
We all have them.
I just so happen to blessed with 2…well, maybe 3.
I'll share….- Heights. absolutely completely terrified. Paralyzingly terrified. To the point that when we take the kids to the mall and we are walking on the second floor and the kids walk beside the railing (that looks down to the first floor) and run their hands along it, it stresses me out….bad.
- The dark. I don't know that this is a phobia, really. I just get really scared and really want a friggin' light on, but it's not a fear like the heights thing is.
- Going into a small anything..(business, store, shop..anything.) that I've never been in before. And driving a road that I've never driven by myself, before.
The 3rd one is the one that is really starting to piss me off. It is starting to affect my life. Living in Alaska, it didn't really affect my life, at all, so I didn't have to worry about it. But now, living here? Yeah…it's starting to get in the way. To the point that I'm missing out on things because of it. It is the most bizarre thing to be afraid of and I don't really understand why, which of course pisses me off even more. Ever the analytical one, I simply must know where this stems from, in order to overcome it. <sigh> Whatever.
I just need to get the hell over it!
I think just by doing the very thing I'm afraid of more, will help. So I'm on a mission to drive somewhere I've never driven before, by myself and to go into a couple of places that I've never been in before, by myself. Hopefully it'll only take a couple of times before my stupid irrational brain will realize that, "hey…we went in there and we SURVIVED! <gasp>!
LOLYeah..my irrational brain is not too bright.

Jaime: Hey, Mama.
Me: Hey, whatta
Jaime: How do you become pregnant?
Me: <thinking in head> ah, fuck.I then proceed to utterly ignore the question, grab the phone and head outside (because yes, I am hiding from my 7 year old daughter and her way too grown up question) , where I call my mom for help. I honestly have no clue what to tell her. Up until now, she thinks babies just kind of show up after you fall in love and after you get married.
My mother thinks this is hysterical and is no help….
Mom : "So you're outside hiding?"
Me: " yeah, mommy….I am hiding. Zak and I have not talked about this and I don't know what to tell her, so I'm just ignoring it until I figure out what the hell to tell her."
Mom: "Just be glad you're not in the car and driving and behind a sheriff's car."
apparently this is when one of us kids popped the big question, I think it was Marky, and she crashed into the back of the cruiser….okay…so yeah, she's got me beat there. For sure.
So, I hang up with her and call Zak.I tell him the situation and he bursts into laughter and says…"Yeah, good luck with that. That's a mommy/daughter thing. I got nothing."
big help, he is.
We discuss it a bit more and we're torn. I'm wanting to go with the G rated fairytale version, which is when a husband and wife love each other so much that they can't hold not even a pinch (her favorite expression for a teeny bit) more love inside their hearts, a whole new person is made with all that extra love they have. But what I worry about with this version is I don't want to make her look stupid, either. Because you know this is going to come up among her and her friends. But I don't think a 7 year old needs to know about sperm and eggs and periods and fertilization. You know?
And frankly, I like her head filled with fairytale crap as long as I can get away with it. lol. She will figure out the stark reality of life, soon enough……and as long as I still have the power to get her to believe in fairytales, well damnit…I'm gonna do it. lol.Zak and I decided on the G rated fairytale version….but before I offer up any information, I want to see what she knows. So I go back inside and ask her how come she wanted to know? And she just did….no reason. I asked her if she and her friends were talking about it or something and she said no, she just wanted to know. And I said oh….and nothing else and she said nothing else.
Whew….bullet dodged and I think we're safe, for now. LOL.Ugh.
How did we not ever talk about this before?
How do you get to be married for 16 friggin' years and never discuss what and when to talk about sex with your chldren???
