Community Organizer the word of the year and other election ramblings

I am so sick of hearing about community organizers. Since when did that word become synonymous with Mother Teresa or the epitome of social/political achievement?

So if black people are so bad off that they need some "economic justice" why do we have people like Obama, Powell, Rice, and so many more that have achieved wealth and status far above my poor white self?

I think I will be voting for a black man this election. I am not a fan of McCain though I am highly intrigued by Sarah Palin. I like her fresh look in Washington. But I think my vote will go to Alan Keyes.

What I am really looking forward to is the election being over with. My husband has spent the last 3 weeks walking our neighborhood and now has about 30 signs up. It is great to look around and see the support for people in our neighborhood that still have strong family and moral values.

Make sure to vote next week.

They showed on our local news that there was a group picketing the temple and chanting, "shame on you Mormons." That was exciting. It's a big deal out here, they did not show anyone from the other side of the issue.

Just some pics

Lily and Matt and the destruction of a whole box of kleenex Tom Ari in the tree Matt's birthday

Yesterday the boys had a school holiday so Dave took a day off and we headed for the mountains. My awesome husband loves to ski and spent many hours on the slopes, but that was all before he married me. I would love for him to ski but life happens with a family and budgets exist and it makes skiing a hard hobby to maintain. Plus we spent about 3.5 yrs in Minnesota where you get lots of snow but not a single ski hill in sight-what a waste of snow. The last couple years, I have tried harder to give my husband chances to ski. We even went out about 3 years ago and purchased all the gear at a rental store going out of business. And I close my eyes as I see how much we pay, tell myself it is all worth it, and then smile. (Remember I am cheap so skiing just wouldn't naturally be on my radar.) This year for Christmas I gave my husband 2 lift tickets purchased for a great deal at Costco. First of all, I am used to spending lots of money at Costco and that way I wouldn't stress ...
