friday list (in outline format) - what must be said

A. It's been a whole week since I've posted.
.......1. LAME
.......2. Crazy crazy busy week at work, and at a loss for words.

B. Last night, I was thoroughly entertained by the VP debate
.......1. Winking during a debate, is not ok.
.......2. The constant smiles and snarkiness in Palin's performance gives me the chills.
.......3. As a feminist, it just floors me that she can pull the ‘female’ tricks of cuteness and ‘just a small town woman’ gig. It deeply offends me. And then…I get these moments of…equality doesn’t mean women MUST act like men.
.......4. Then she winks again, and I’m sorry, that’s just cheap. We’re not in on the same joke here, lady.
.......5. She also clearly didn’t know what an Achilles Heel was, which was a bit embarrassing. Laughing at that made me realize how elitist I can be. Shocked, anyone?
.......6. She did much better than I expected, however. I am positive my dear friend, Tim, felt completely pleased with her performance. He should. She stood tall, and answered questions, and truly went up against one of the most experienced senators.
.......7. It honestly comes down to different world views. She clearly gets her message across to people that believe that lowering taxes, and having less government will help us all. I don't agree. I don't believe we all take care of each other. I prefer my government to have policies and organizations to provide funding for groups and services that struggle.
.......8. Obama/Biden speak to me -- middle class girl with everyday problems: money, healthcare, the environment.

C. Font shopping is radtastic!
.......1. Remember that, Jacob!
.......2. Swirly fonts, handwritten fonts, decorative fonts, retro fonts…sigh….

D. The sweetness of my girls continues to fill my heart with gladness.
.......1. In the morning before school, they’re both so cuddly and reluctant to get up.
.......2. Clementine last night: “What’s complicated mean?” Me: “It means something is convoluted…errr I mean it means something is difficult.” “What’s difficult? Hannah, what’s difficult?” Hannah: “It means it’s complicated.”
.......3. The girls trying to play ponies with Fish (our ki’ boy).

E. One day of work without attorneys or boss lady makes for a very very silly day of fun.

F. Why do some songs just pierce you, straight through you? And you force yourself to listen to them AGAIN and AGAIN and yes, AGAIN!

G. I have the constant case of goosebumps. Seriously --- I get them with one very little gesture of sweetness. Or a few notes of a good song. Instantly, I’m covered in the largest goosebumps.

H. Today has kicked ass because I keep playing my favorite songs on Youtube!
