Sarah Palin costume??

Can people tell me if this works?
Hair up or down? I can't do her big goofy smile.....
It looks better up in real life I think, but not in the picture. Let me know.
I think I"ll make a little sign for my back which says "I can't see Russia from here" ..............any other ideas?

horoscopes

I've taken to reading them again lately and today's was hilarious! I do kind of feel like this and the descriptive picture they give in this little paragraph is funny:

Capricorn - Today, October 19, 2008

You may feel like a beetle that has been flipped on its back today, Kim. Your legs are flailing wildly in order to get you back on your feet. The harder you wiggle around, the more exhausted you become. You might consider just giving yourself a rest and waiting for a breeze to come along and push you back over. Trust that you will be back on your feet soon enough. In fact, it may be good for you to lie there motionless for a while to appreciate the humor of your situation.

Happy Global Handwashing Day! DO IT!

Today is the first Global Handwashing Day.....I strongly recommend doing this :-)

Thank you!

Stop panicking!!!

Everyone should stop panicking....that's what helps create the problem.

Here are some ideas to show you that it's not as bad as the media makes it sound (thanks Charles Schwab) http://www.schwabinsights.com/2008_10/economy.html

Of course I'd rather be seeing Clinton and Robert Reich giving calming speeches and reassuring us but since we can't have that, how about reading an FDR fireside chat?

Election trains

Thanks Anne, for this great group of pictures!

Jon Stewart - McCain

This is a great night of Jon Stewart.....the part where McCain says he knows how to get Osama bin Ladin and he'll get him....and John says "well why don't you tell us!!!????" is priceless....oh, and the "smartest people" idea...great. let's do it!

Finally.... I made a good bourhanee kadu

It's taken a few tries and I was going to give up but this last Sunday I finally got just the right mix of spices and cooking done to result in a delicious bourhanee kadu. Maybe it was the pumpkins that were causing the problem before? I got a really good one at Dupont this last Sunday so maybe that made the difference..... now I just have to work on getting the lamb spicier.

halloween approaches.....

....and I am soooo torn!! I don't know what to do. Because I totally have the older woman suit that Sarah Palin wears, have the glasses, could get the wig....AND I have the moose head to carry around. But could I really stand to BE her for a night??? or talk like her???? ugh!!
What should I do? commit to it ? maybe there is something funny and obnoxious that I could write on a piece of paper and pin to my back???

ooooohhh!!! or I could carry and pass out Obama literature!! maybe that would work!!

some past fabulous Halloweens below.....

The great schlep

Well ....so she did ok last night....and Biden did great at not letting go and showing his annoyance at some of her inane and hokey comments (it was close but he didn't).
So this morning, my new office is full of people talking about it and I just overheard a discussion of an interesting initiative
Check it out here!
Anybody going to go?
Also, there was discussion of how the polls are really not accurate because the whole "cell phone" generation hasn't been counted....they "can't be called"....so we don't know what they will do.
