Fall
I love the fall. I love everything about it.
Life slows down, temps cool, windows open, time to be all snuggly, good books are out. I seem to be energized by the cooler temps. My arthritis (usually) settles down a bit. I feel more alive in the fall. There are colors all around. Most people prefer spring and the new life that it brings. I have always been the opposite.
To me Fall brings hot cocoa, apples, festivals, hayrides, pumpkins, hugs, family, holidays, togetherness, love.

land of the lost
Okay..so I have not been around for quite some time..well we had Ike come to visit and he decided to take the power for 1/2 a million people. Lucky for us we live close to the back up water pumping station (3 houses away) so our electric was only out for 3 1/2 hours....but our cable/internet..that was out from 9/13 until 9/24..Talk about agony.
We could not gripe because our neighbors across the street were without power..yes..power until Tuesday night 9/23 at 8:30 pm. (9/13-9/23) WTF..DP&L...
So since I work from home, I had to get my work somehow..so I spent twice a day loitering in the police station parking lot since it was a wi-fi hotspot. I didn't feel like going to Mickey D's or anyplace else because since soooo many were without power..those places that did were SWAMPED. So it was me and the police...and some cute looking police there are..
Anywho..one thing I learned about having limited TV (thank goodness for TV antennas improved with aluminum foil...LOL)..and internet..I really didn't miss them. Sad to say. I have over 300 bookmarks and I really have no need for them in the grand scheme of things.
So I am cutting back my internet/computer time from now on. No more 2-3 hours a day..YIKES..talk about avoiding work. I am limiting myself to 30 minutes of surfing in the morning and 30 minutes in the evening. Sounds crazy I am sure..but I have realized that my Princess is growing up, my honey loves me, there are great books to read, fall is in the air and that means festivals..and I want to do all of that.
I'll still check e-mail more regularly but my internet surfboard is now on the beach for a bit.

Politically steaming mad!
Okay..I was going to stay off of my soapbox today in honor of 9/11...but this story has TOTALLY AND COMPLETELY FREAKED ME OUT!!!
http://voices.washingtonpost.com/the-trail/2008/09/11/war_with_russia_palin_talks_fo.html?hpid=topnews
For the first time in my entire adult life, I actually FEAR for the future of my darling daughter. What is up with these politicians????WAR WITH RUSSIA...IS THIS WOMAN ON CRACK!!!!!!!!
Does she not not have a clue about her American history, WWII, the ATOMIC BOMB, NUCLEAR WEAPONS!!
We Americans thought that 9/11 was horrible...image what would happen..just imagine our children fearing for their lives..fearing "THE BOMB". We would not even begin to be prepared for the destruction that this would entail.

more politics
All I have to say is OMFG.

I really hope this link works so that people can read it.
#5 makes me just wonder about this woman all together. Sure she is pretty and all and I am sure that many women will vote for her just because she is a WOMAN but COME ON PEOPLE!!
"A month before her fifth child, Trig, was due, Mrs Palin's waters broke while she was in Texas to address a conference. She delivered her speech nonetheless and embarked on the long flight back to Alaska - changing planes in Seattle - before travelling an hour by road to hospital to give birth. She says she was not in "active labour" and her doctor said it was fine. Alaska Airlines allows women to travel in the late stages of pregnancy. Husband Todd - a commercial fisherman - is quoted by the Anchorage Daily News as saying: "You can't have a fish picker from Texas." Three days later, Mrs Palin was back at work. "
WTF...this woman needs to care about HER CHILDREN instead of herself and her "career".
Okay..stepping off my soapbox for now.
