Knowing what you know now, would you live your 20's differntly?

I think some things I might want to change, mostly just being with someone for so long because it was "comfortable". Ultimately I am happy where I am now, and I believe that I wouldn't be where I was if it wasn't for the choices I made along the way.



What's For Dinner This Week?
Umm do single people plan out dinner? I do have stuff to make cheesy bacon hot dogs, but that's about all that's on the "plan" list. I can tell you I will probably eat sushi at least 2 days ;)

What's For Dinner This Week?

I actually did some meal planning so we will have something other than cereal, frozen pizza or carry out! I have done better in the last couple weeks and this week we will have meals including chili, black bean and corn casserole and twice baked potatoes. Yum!

Any plans for the holidays coming up?

Wow, there are holidays coming up?! Wasn't it just the beginning of summer a day or two ago?! I am still in the one day at a time mode. I can't believe my son is a month old and my daughter is 1.5. I am sure it will be Thanksgiving tomorrow and Christmas the following week. Yikes! Not sure what our plans our yet, but I hope it doesn't involve schlepping to more than one locale. I am guessing it won't be too bad though, because my in-laws haven't been on my husband's good side (with good reason)...so maybe that will translate to a less hectic holiday season, with one less stop. Terrible of me, huh?

Any plans for the holidays coming up?

I am going to spend about 3 weeks in MD with my family. That should be nice. I havent decided if Iam going to fly or drive down yet, but I am excited to have that time with them.




Favorite Thing(s) About Fall

Fall is my favorite season! I love when the air turns crisp and cool! The trees turn colors and make things look so pretty. Visiting cider mills is the best part though, warm doughnuts and cold apple cider has to be the best thing!

Favorite Thing(s) About Fall

Warm days with crisp nights. Wearing jeans and a sweatshirt. The excitement of Big Ten football. Satisfying comfort foods. Watching parents with their cameras excitedly seeing their children off for their first day of school. Changing leaves. Cider and donuts. Halloween, pumpkins and little ones in costumes.

What is important to you in a political candidate?

Politicians are politicians, but I would prefer someone who is at least trying to change our country for the better. The current administration and the party's candidate for president have both spoken on how they think the economy is doing well, the war is being won, those who are gay don't deserve the same rights as the rest of America, there should be prayer (Christian) and Creationism in schools, etc, etc. I don't agree with any of these premises. I am also not pro abortion, but I am pro choice. I believe that health care should be a basic right, especially for our children. If you don't want to provide health care, what is next? Should we start expecting people to just educate themselves and put out their own fires as well?

Anyway, I am for the candidate that is trying to change and fix the way things have deteriorated in the past 8 years. I am hopeful we can find a way to provide health care for those who need it, save the environment and heal the broken economy.

What is important to you in a political canidate?

I am trying to get more in to the political side of life. I recently decided that I want to go for people who have similar views and perspective as I do (seems simple right). I recently red about Sarah Palin and how she is anti-choice. This bugs me, how can you be a representative for the US but not believe in pro-choice? I am not saying you have to be pro-choice for your own life, but who are you to tell anyone else what they can and cant do?


What Are You Most Impatient About Right Now
