Confession

It's time to come out of the closet, to make a confession. Everyone better sit down...

I'm a Democrat. I'm a conservative but a democratic one.

I'm anti-abortion, pro-marriage amendment. Anti-capital punishment, pro-gun control. I was anti-going into Iraq, but now I'm pro-finishing what we've started. I'm pro-taxes on the top 1%, pro-government health insurance. I'm anti-ANWR drilling, pro-alternative fuels.

And my family doesn't have a clue.

My sister will be shocked, my dad might keel over, my friends might stop speaking to me but it's time I stop hiding it from everyone.

I like Obama.

I like the environment and I don't mind trying to protect it.

I like embracing culture and diversity.

I like peace.

I like the idea of a government who lifts it's people so that the people can lift their government.

I believe that the job of the government is to sustain and protect it's people.

So today I have decided it's time to show my true blue and say:

Viva La Democrats! Yes We Can!

I still like you.

I have my very strong oppinions about everything, but my friends and families different views never get to me.

I agree with a few of your ideas, and Jared probably agrees with other ones.

I have been trying for years to Hannitize her, I fear I have failed miserably. But it goes to show that even a democrat can make an excellent wife and mother.

I just knew that would get you, Ivy. hahaha.

No, I fully intend to write in Romney's name. I cannot in all good conscience vote for Obama because I cannot vote for abortion. I also, really like Romney, I like his Health Care plan and I like his idea's on how to reform our nation. I think everyone should write in Romney, just so we can make a statement.

A statement that says "WE are the government, WE decide who is in office and WE don't agree with these two candidates."

A statement that says "It's time we had someone worth voting for on the ballot and if we aren't going to get it, then we'll vote for the person who deserves it."

I feel very strongly about this one Ivy, so yes, I'll still vote Romney.

Wow Charity, I had no idea! Although I think most surprising was that you are pro-gun control. Weird... from a military family I just wouldn't expect it.

But, I still like you too. :)

kiri,

We're discussing gun control over on the 'certain inalienable rights' blog if you really want to see what I think. ;)

How-To Pretend You Work For Anthropologie

Image
The problem with Anthropologie is that they cost way too much money. WAY TOO MUCH! I mean, come on--these book boxes: source: Anthropologie Cost $68-$188! Do you have that kind of money? I don't, but you know what I do have? I have a library with a cart full of free books that no one really cares about! So guess what I did... I made my own (and then I gave them away because I really don't have anywhere to put them). Here's how. What do you think?

Altered Shoe Art: Ring Holder Shoe Tutorial

Image
This was my week two craft for So You Think You're Crafty. I placed third that week for this one. I thought you might enjoy finding out how I made it. I tried about a million different decorations before settling on one that didn't drown out my rings. I wanted them to the focal point. This is also why I went with black fabric and not something more vivid. Don't be intimidated by the lack of 101 I'm giving you. It really is a straight forward sort of project. If you know how to use a glue gun without burning yourself you can do this. Just be sure to dust off your imaginative brain space first. :) The one important thing you might be wondering is how I got the pink fabric to stick to the shoe. I really just Mod Podged it on. There are several different ways to make ring tubes that you can find online. One I saw used that colored foam paper stuff that you find in the kids craft section. I thought that might have been easier, but I had scraps o

Mutterings of a Middle-Aged Dreamer

Image
Use your words, my dear sweet soul, they are inside of you... So find them. Write, you silly girl, write so hard the world will never forget you. But does it matter if the world remembers you?  Age begins to press its hands upon your chest and the need to be remembered seems to increase with the pressure.  Stop. That's not a line of thought you're interested in pursuing.  Live in the now. Does it matter if the world remembers you if your neighbor is going hungry?  Perhaps age is merely pushing you out the door.  Go. Live in the now.
