i'm eating too much.
That's the way my boyfriend likes to tell me that my plate is too full-- "I'm eating too much". The past three days have included our anniversary, two hours making his favorite cookies, an exam in class, five hours of class, six loads of laundry, one movie (sex and the city!), a few prayers, two shifts at work, and very very little sleep. I realzie that was a run-on sentence, however; that's how my life feels these days. Like a big run-on running on of running on nothing.
On another interesting sidenote (to me an no one else of course) why are there specifically "religious" wedding invitations. Aren't ALL marriages supposed to be a union under God? If so, why doesn't every inviation have the words "Join us as they are joined in a union under Christ" or other such wordings.
On another highly politcally charged note, what happened to "the fundamentals of the economy are sound" Mr. Bush? Oh, we're on our way to recession? Oh, this could be a crisis? Oh, this could be painful? Come to Michigan, Mr. Bush and fellow Republicans. Come see college students who struggle to pay no more than a thousand dollars in tuition but can't get student aid. Come see parents getting laid off in droves, one each month, to the point where chronically, painfully, ill children aren't eligible to recieve healthcare (that would be me, by the way). Oh, that address just made me so upset tonight. I dislike the expansion of government so much, and I thought that was supposed to be a Republican ideal. Lassiez faire and all that jazz. But if I vote I'm voting Democrat. Was it always this confusing to be an American?

Now that I'm an old married lady, I wonder where I got the energy to do all those things I did all the time in college. Man, It is exhausting just remembering it!
Thanks for visiting my blog!
And on a side note (since you are a fellow republican), if you hate big government (SO do I!), take a close look at what Obama proposes before you vote for him! It's listed out on his website: billions and billions of dollars of new govt. programs. At least McCain says he wants less government.
If you agree with the Republicans, vote Republican. If you agree with the Democrats, vote Democrat.
But know that there are more choices than that. I'm sure you knew that, but I urge you to consider them. They won't win, ofcourse. But for me, I won't be more happy with a republican than a democrat or vice versa so I'm praying that enough 3rd party votes will make them more appealing to the general public. The more votes they get, the more legitimate their views become and the less it will seem to be a choice between A or B.But I'm a libertarian because I want a small government and I want the (federal) government to stay allow maximum amount of personal choice.Seems like the republican party 150 years ago, huh?
@eclectic_eccentric - "says he wants less government."
That made me LOL. good call.@SillyBananaMan - I'm actually voting Constitutional Party this year. Which is a source of hot debate in my family (OBAMA OBAMA OBAMA people) but I feel that it's right for me. Good for you!
