Halloween 2008

So Natalie was a 49er cheerleader for Halloween....we're brainwashing her early to follow in mommy's foot steps and be a cheerleader in high school...even though her dad wants her to be a golfer because there are so many scholarships....he's no fun.

I've become one of those "Wackos"......

So I know I spend too much time on a certain message board, and mostly cause I like the gals and love to get input about parenting and all that stuff.
But I have officially become one of those "wackos" who is getting just too wrapped up in message board drama.
Most of it stems from the election and a difference of opinions which I think is great. Dan won't debate with me, and my friends all have the same political views so I was all about debating on said board....but alas it has gone too far.
So, it's time for an intervention. I need an intervention for my Message board usage.
Time to take the first step...
"My name is Kelly, and I'm addicted to the nest...and I need a break*"

*I think a break is easier said than done, but we'll see.

STFU....

Okay, I'm all for debate and open conversations where people have differing opinions especially when it comes to politics.
But if you are going to argue with me, than get your facts straight....or STFU.
You know who you are.

A great day to be an American

Today (well actually Yesterday) is a great day to be an American. We rocked the vote and our voices were heard.

It is amazing to know that Natalie will never know a country in which only a white man can be president. I am proud of our decision, proud to be an American.

Things are about to change and I can't wait!

A sad day for California

Today is a sad sad day for California. To say that I am disgusted with the results of prop 8 would be a gross understatement. I am sad, angry, disgusted, scared, sick...the list goes on and on.
I am sad that in this day and age we as a state can vote for discrimination. We are called one of the most progressive states in the union, yet we allow our citizens to be stripped of rights and discriminated against. I am not proud to live in California today. I am not proud of the fact that scare tactics can sway an election, I am not proud that out of state funding can buy off another states constitution.
I asked someone last week who was a prop 8 supporter how prop 8 would really affect her, her church and her marriage. And guess what her answer was....."It doesn't"
That's right IT DOESN'T....IT DOESN'T affect you, your church, or your marriage....so why the hell do you feel the need to discriminate and steal happiness from people it does affect. WHY?
WHY?!?!

Today's the day!!!

Get out there and vote people.

I dropped off my absentee ballot this morning and there were quite a few people there voting, but no long lines.

And make sure you rock your "I voted" sticker so you can get some free Starbucks.
