Yay! He's Out!

No offense to my in-laws who supported him, but Fred Thompson is out of the runnings for President! Yay, yay, yay! I didn't like him. I'm not a republican, I don't see myself ever becoming one. I know, Mormon and not a republican, who ever heard of such a thing?!?!?! LOL! Check history, we've had at least one prophet who was a democrat, so I'm in good company. ;) Anyway, if a republican becomes President again (oh please NO!!!!) I hope for Mit Romney. But, that being said, there are still a few fantastic democrats in the running and I'd pick any one of them over the republican choices. And I know a lot of you out there like Huckabee...but I may have to abandon all hope for the USA if he becomes President. From what I've heard -- isn't that what most political opinions are anyway just a bunch of stuff you're heard formed into an opinion -- he has spread a bunch of lies about my beloved religion in order to make Romney look bad. That ticks me off worse than just about anything. And the anti-Obama email going around about his religion...that one ticks me off too. I got it TWO TIMES from people who know I'm a democrat. But anyone who uses someone's religion that way should not be president. Oh and for those of you who hate Obama because his church is all African Americans...he's a distant cousin to the current VP. Gash! Oh my! The horror! LOL! Whatever! At least these men are religious, leave their relationship with God alone for Pete's sake! What issues do you follow, what do they follow? Who thinks like you? Who's trying to change things in a direction you like? That's how you decide your candidate? Enough said...this is the most political rant you'll ever see from me. I hate discussing politics with people. So yeah, I'm hiding behind my computer screen saying this. But...I did respond to one of those anti-Obama emails to say I still support him and don't appreciate religion being dragged into it. So there! :-P

Celebrity Babies

It's been quite the year for celebrity babies. So many new little bundles of joy have arrived in 2007. Some were given nice normal names while others were given names that make a sane person shake their head. It's always fun to see what they'll come up with next. Even us "normal" people come up with some doozies when it comes to our kid's names. I found out last night that my cousin named his little boy Rudolph...yes, this baby was born in December. I'm sure he'll be teased his whole life, little Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer.

Um...Ew! LOL!

It's that time of year again, when Jones Soda Co. brings out their special holiday flavors. This year their even making ham and latke flavored soda. Ok, I'm all for weird flavors...to a certain degree. Like I really enjoy the Sierra Mist Free Cranberry Splash, but ham flavored is a little much for me. According to the article:

The Christmas pack will feature such flavors as Sugar Plum, Christmas Tree, Egg Nog and Christmas Ham. The Hanukkah pack will have Jelly Doughnut, Apple Sauce, Chocolate Coins and Latkes sodas.

I think I'll stick with my more traditional flavored sodas and water, thank you very much! LOL!

How Did She Do That?

When I logged out of my hotmail account this morning I was taken to the msn page. I always check to see if there's anything interesting to read. This morning a headline sparked my interest. Marathon mom's win sparks debate, I had to see what it was about. I've always wanted to run a marathon. I'm only 3 1/2 months post-pregnancy right now and am in no where near the shape I need to be for this. But this woman is an elite athlete. She won the New York City Marathon just 9 months after giving birth. WOW!!! My immediate goals right now are to lose weight and get to my pre-babies weight. (I never lost the weight from baby #1...oops) Once I do that I want to remain healthy and get into things like yoga and running (I'm already do that a little). That way when or if I get pregnant again I can have a healthier pregnancy and bounce back quicker. Then I want to focus on a marathon. But I can guarantee you it won't be 9 months post baby...maybe 5 years post baby. But more power to this woman...wow, wow, wow!

What is this all about?

Bumbo Seats Recalled

Bumbo Seats are being recalled due to falling hazard. You can go here and here for details. But basically, it seems like they're just temporarily halting sales while they change the labeling. If you already own a Bumbo seat, like I do, you can contact them for a warning sticker. Or just remember to NEVER place the seat anywhere but on the ground.

10 Worst College Mascots

I've heard some pretty good, er, make that bad mascots in my time. Like the beet diggers or the hay balers. But the college mascots listed in this article are definite winners, or should I say losers?

I always had semi-decent mascots for my schools. Well, at least in my opinion. I was an eagle in elementary school, a falcon in junior high, a golden tiger in high school and a cougar in college.

17 pound baby!

A Siberian woman gave birth to a 17 pound 1 ounce baby girl. Oh my goodness! And I thought my daughter was big at 9 pounds 1/2 ounce. Of course this woman had a c-section and my daughter was a natural unmedicated childbirth...ouch! This is her 12th child too. Wow! Click here to read all about it.
