Sarah Palin is my Gynecologist

I'm not a political person. Oh sure, I vote and all, but I'm not a button-wearing, sign-posting, email-forwarding advocate on either political side. But here's what I do know. Sarah Palin looks exactly like my OB/GYN. Freaky, I know, but that just might get her and Senator McCain my vote.

I must admit that in the past, if I didn't know any of the candidates, I would just vote for the person that had the most clever name. Hmmm, Claude Smithpeters...check. That name reminds me of my high school band director, so he gets my vote. It's so wrong I know, but hey it's America, and I can eeny, meany, miney, mo it if I want to. What a great country.

I know that most of you reading this are probably jumping on the McCain/Palin bandwagon, and I'll probably sway that way myself. I promise I'll educate myself on the presidential candidates sometime before November, but those local candidates always get me. I should totally run for city council of Elm Springs. Of course I'll have to come up with a creative surname just in case someone else uses my candidate selection process :)

Anyway, enough advanced political chit-chat and on to more important things. Benjamin started preschool a couple of weeks ago, and it seems to be going very well. The class size is only 11 kids, so I'm hoping it's less stressful for the both of us. Today when I picked him up the teacher told me his favorite color was pink and his favorite activity in the classroom was playing with baby dolls. Terrific.

Levi has been busy selling his popcorn for Boy Scouts. He's selling to anyone with a checkbook, so if he hasn't gotten to you yet, watch out. It's just a matter of time before he finds you.
