Whazzup

1. My Hubby has all his proper documentation in by the deadlines...he should be on the ballot come Nov 4th!

2. OK - so what I found was a terrific little article - I really liked what it had to say about Americans because I found truth in it. I thought I quoted the correct individual, but I have had someone comment on its origin. I haven't had time to argue the point of who the author is, and really, I do not want to. My only point was how disgusted I am with the media and more and their complaints about our current state of affairs. I admire my husband because he wants to make change by getting involved in government - not as a lifetime politician, but as a citizen taking his turn.

3. I've started the summer reading book club as I had wanted! We have our first book chosen and I am hosting the first gathering in a few weeks.

4. The kids are enjoying camp. Our daughter has even gone away to sleep-away camp with the girl scouts. Except for coming home with 40+ mosquito bites, she had a great time.

5. We saw the Spiderwick Chronicles a week ago. $2.50 a kid and popcorn included is such a deal - so much that each of my kids brought a friend with them and I didn't mind paying.

6. We were able to spend 3 days with Don and Julie - they came up bright and early on the 4th and participated in the parade with us - SOOO COOL! They came up for the 4th of July party we hosted and stayed just to hang out with us. I love that!

7. The upstairs is painted now. I found an awesome color that just pops with the white wood trim and the newly finished floor my husband worked so hard on.

8. Kim and I rode our bikes from our homes all the way to Wolf's Chrysler (it is one mile away from Hwy 57), so when you consider the round trip route, it was 18.5 miles or so. We plan to make it all the way to Hwy 57 to reach our 20 mile goal!!!

9. The kids have been able to spend some quality time with my parents. I love that. My father took my son fishing and actually watched him for an entire day while I had to fill in for my husband because he was in Madison for the day.

10. I started a Facebook page to chat with my local friends. Even found a long lost college roommate. I am attempting to find other friends, but things are going slow (I do not get to sit at the computer for long periods of time).
