New Look!

T made me a fantastically wonderful banner to show my blog name in a perfectly frilly font. I love it! Yay for T and his knowledge of computers (I don't even know what program he used because I am THAT computer illiterate)! I decided to start owning this blog of mine and change the banner background and colors every season. The font stays, though. That is all me.

Speaking of fantastic, check this out. I want one for my desk at work.

I froze most of my veggies last night after class. From 9:00 until 11:00 T helped me cut, wash, transfer to boiling water, transfer to ice water, then bag and freeze while we watched the debates on his computer. Exhausting evening. And I still have cauliflower and onions to do. Plus, I still have to make applesauce. I really hope this is worth it or I don't know what I'll do. If I do this again, it'll definitely be a little here and there throughout the whole summer.

I still don't know who to vote for. My republican dad always has me convinced that Obama is the devil and to vote for McCain but then my friends have me convinced that Obama is the savior of the United States and possibly the world. Then I see debates where Obama just makes sense. But what about taxes and our economy? Neither candidate has the answer in my eyes. T and I always fight about this because I think if Obama wants to raise taxes on the wealthiest 5% of the people, won't that STILL be bad for me? That 5% employ us, the little 95%-ers, right? So, raise their taxes and they start laying people off, getting rid of our bonuses, etc., etc., etc. My theory (which I often mistakenly state as fact) is lower everyone's taxes and the economy will take care of itself. That is the only political crap I will spew until someone is elected in November. I try to steer clear of these kinds of topics anywhere I go.

Have a great day everyone. I hope it's a little sunnier where you are. All I see are puffy, gray clouds.

  1. I love the new banner!

    It's probably obvious who I support for president if you read my blog, but I won't try to get you to think one way or the other. I would suggest going to both candidate's websites and read up on what their positions on the issues are, then go to a website, like factcheck.org that fact checks both candidates objectively. I think that's the only way to get the real story, and be the most informed when you go to vote on election day.
