Sculpture in the eye of a needle!

Incredibly small sculptures! Sold it all for $20 million.
I gotta get a hair from the back of a house fly and get painting!

Great Escape, Feline style

The cats enjoy their romps around the back yard. Vern and Josie go out the back door and return in through the back door. Vern scares so easily that she doesn't even really go near the fence (the unknown is beyond)!
One of our fence boards had warped and offered Josie an easy out to roam to the front door. Upon repair, she was always at the back door.
Baby Cat (obviously named by Phoebe when she was 3) is another story. She is an escape artist! She waits on our front porch for Phoebe to get home from school. I have gone around the fence line and discovered 3 places she could be getting out from and fixed them.
Well, I just watched Josie & Baby Cat conspire to slide bricks, dig holes, and burrow under our fence to the great dry creek beyond. ARGH! Cats!

37 weeks

So, I am walking around at 3cm and 70% effacement. Mike says before Thanksgiving. Michele says within the next 5 days. I am saying nothing as I am sure I will jinx it.
What do you think?
Sorry, no picture at this time. Will talk with Mike to get you one, though.

Happy Dance

Obama!
Video
on MSNBC of his acceptance speech.
Favorite parts:
his daughters have earned the new puppy coming to the White House;
young people rejected the myth of their generation's apathy;
this is the chance to make change and without us it will not change-summon our spirit of patriotism and responsibility!

Gosh, that last bit really sums up my feelings. We each do our part and our country will grow and prosper; in turn each of us will grow and prosper.

To our next 4 years!

Election Day 2008

Love Google's image for the election.
We got to early vote here. Thank goodness, too, as I wasn't looking forward to long lines.

ARGH! Makes me mad!

There is nothing like those in the education field being stupid and making everyone else in the education field look like freakin' morons!
Hell no, Cindy, I won't vote for you to get on the school board!!! I'm actually frightened you might get on a surf board!

Wrap Rage

Wrap Rage (wrapping rage or package rage) is the common name for heightened levels of anger, frustration and violence resulting from the inability to open hard-to-remove packaging.-Wikipedia

I just viewed the front page of Amazon and they are implementing some changes in packaging. This is something that I have wished to see happen for so long! I wouldn't mind seeing a bunch of cardboard boxes on store shelves-no over-visual stimulus! The same with board games. I really wish they would quit with all the cheesy plastic holders for cards, little wooden pieces, dice, etc. Just give me the box with pieces! Geesh!
