Karl Rove, tex-mex, Super Mario and the Cleveland Browns--Can you get more random?!

So in spin class, there's this really short, muscular guy with a mustache and curly hair. When my legs are searing in pain, I watch short little guy and imagine he is Super Mario jumping over wood barrels and I hear the sound effects and everything. It helped me get through 60 minutes of biking to nowhere. Well this morning, he walks in the room and he has a go-tee (spelling?). My total distraction is ruined. I may very well have to drop a note in Super's  gym and tell him to go back to just his 'stash--and I'll address it Super M. Maybe he'll think it mean Super Man and someone has a crush on him and he'll listen. Right?!

Right now I'm eating some stuffed jalepenos Mike brought home. So yummy--it's time like these I wish everyone lived in Texas and could enjoy some Tex-Mex.

Most memorable moment of election night? Maybe not the most historic or most important but on Fox news (bet you can't guess who I vote for ;) ) Karl Rove, the political shark, brought cookies to share with the crew. I am not kidding. He passed out cookies and he was really excited to share the cookies. You just wonder did he go vote that day and think hey, I think I'll surprise my friends with cookies tonight while we cover the election. It will be so much fun--now should I go with chocolate or sugar? I wonder if it's on youtube.

Hey, ho--Kellan Winslow's got to GO! Seriously, you hate living in Cleveland and guess what? Cleveland hates you! We've got Brady Quinn--Spanky (my TWO year old) could catch his bullet passes. Yet, you--you blow simple school yard bread and butter plays. And cost us the game. The Browns aren't losers--YOU ARE.

Well folks--there's a green chili quesadilla calling my name.

Happy Weekend!

We are quite the political household

With the nonstop news of the election, my kids have picked up names and, the older ones, various issues. We have had great talks about who we support and why. (I have stayed strong from offering my viewpoints on this blog and I am not about to break this less than 24 hours before the election so I will not delve into my beliefs.)

But our great debaters are Spanky and Dino.

Dino loves to say "Obama" and who can blame him? It just rolls off the tongue and it's pretty fun to say.

So we are driving to yet another function and the radio is discussing the election.

Dino begins "O-bam-a,  o-bam-a."

And out of nowhere Spanky screams and I mean screams "MCCAIN!"

Dino, and the rest of the car, is stunned to silence and then Dino whispers "Mccain".

And our car is the site of another political bullying.

Regardless if agree with Dino or Spanky, be sure to vote tomorrow. Your vote matters and if you don't vote, don't complain ;)

Woe me baby :)

Texas has suddenly gotten very popular with the presidential front-runners. I am seeing TV ads, radios ads and there are rallies in my town. WOW!! This is so new to us.
I remember watching what all the supporters were doing for voters at the Iowa caucus and I am wondering if our nominees are as helpful and caring as they were then? I specifically remember hearing Obama volunteers baby sat for voters so they could vote so....
Obama supporters: I have 4 kids and there is no way I can get out to vote unless YOU can watch them (free of course, giving any money might be illegal)
Huckabee supporters: I know you value religion, so I know you understand I need to pray on my vote; but it is so hard to pray with four kids; someone needs to watch my kids, like YOU while I head out and pray (either church or Starbucks) on this crucial issue
Clinton supporters: I'd love to vote but wouldn't you know Tuesday is grocery day--anyway YOU can help a sister out and drive out to Whole Foods and pick up my items?
McCain supporters: My car needs its maintenance check and it MUST be done on voting day--I want to vote but who knows how long this could take unless of course YOU could bring my car in.

So I'm thinking if all four requests are met, I can vote for someone---I'll say the first person to respond to my requests ;)
And now I will wait patiently by the phone.....

What's your value....

This is funny, sad, alarming and confusing all at the same time

Chairman Mao should have waited until the Clinton administration ;) (that was an actual quote from a Chinese official)
