You go girl

“Wow, you’re the first person actually that’s ever asked me that question in the, I don’t know maybe, 70 college campuses I’ve now been to, and I do not think that is any of your business,” Chelsea Clinton said during the campaign visit for her mother.

This was in response to a student newspaper reporter asking Chelsea about Monica Lewinsky. He asked the question as an opportunity for Chelsea to talk about how strong her mother was, and how she's ready to handle crisis. Instead he got the answer above.

I'm no fan of the Clinton's, but overall I think Chelsea's answer was spot on.

All's well that ends well

Shirley Jean Desvousges arrived at 10:30 a.m. on Tuesday. She is a beautiful little girl. Both mother, baby and daddy are doing great. Just got a report from the proud mother, baby and daddy are watching Super Bowl highlights. What more could a girl want on her first day out of the hospital?

The 'blind date' couple had a wonderful time meeting and getting to know each other. They must have had plenty to talk about, the evening ended at 1:00 a.m. They're anxious to see each other again, but both want to take the progress of their relationship very slowly. Waiting on God's timing and direction. I'm happy for both of them. Sorry, no names yet. At least not in this public forum.

All's well that ends well.

Anticipation

My niece, Erin, is in labor. I've gotten two progress updates by text message, last one at 1:45 a.m. What's going on in Wisconsin???

I set up two dear young people. Both attend our church but had never met before last week. They were supposed to go for coffee last night. Dying to know how it went.

Guess today is about anticipation.

What was I thinking.

I scheduled: pap smear and exam, eye exam, teeth cleaning and mammogram all within a week. I'm thinking I'll get my hair colored and my toes done. Then I'll be all good from stem to stern. If you see me, be sure to notice.

Every office has one

Every office has one, that person that listens in on every conversation, and then whispers it to others. How ironic that she is the HR representative. We could list her salary under 'telephone' expense instead of salary. Our office 'telephone' changed cubicles this week. Now she's diagonally across the cube structure from me. She moved so she could have more privacy when she talks with people. I mentioned that I can hear every keystroke on her computer and every word she says. She just laughed and said she could every word from my space too. I don't think she got it.

Donut Debauchery

I went down the path, and took others with me. It was Jeff's turn to bring food to the office so I picked up a box of assorted yumminess when he did. My friend is not eating fried things or donuts for Lent. I convinced her that pastries are baked, and not technically donuts, therefore legal. How sick and wrong is that? Next thing you know she's gobbling a cream cheese danish and swilling it down with her Slimfast breakfast. I feel so guilty. Maybe the sticky I got on my mouse from the apple fritter will serve as a reminder to be better next time. I doubt it.

Stealth Readers

First things first. We are driving a 2008 Toyota Camry. When I drove it off the lot it had 4 miles on it. The sunroof got thrown in because it was on the lot in the color I wanted. Matches my winter coat, which was critical! Jeff is happy, I'm happy. Life is good.

It's come to my attention that some of you (Michelle) are reading my blog and not leaving any trail behind. You're stealth readers. While I'm flattered that my life is so interesting, blogging is meant to be a interactive activity. So, interact already! Kristen got her commenting issues worked out, good job Kristen.
