Today's poolside read...

I still haven't decided if I like this book or not. It's a bid edgy and you wonder how many of the facts are inflated but it's interesting if nothing else.

Creating Myself by Mia Tyler, daughter of Steven Tyler from Aerosmith

Party like a Barack star!

That's my new slogan. We got in line around 1 p.m. and finally got into the stadium about 5:00 p.m. We were lucky enough to get 10 rows back, directly to the left of the podium. The view was outstanding. Man was it crowded though. But worth it. We had to go through metal detectors and there were Secret Service Agents everywhere. It was a pretty cool experience. I wore my Michelle Obama pearls. Amazingly after all those hours in the sun and I didn't get burnt. Whew!

Pampered princess

Today was Brooks day of beauty at the groomers. She turned 13 this year so she is really rocking the pigtail look here. We are friends with the vet and Caroline goes to school with her daughter. She called me at work today to tell me that when she got to school this morning Caroline mentioned to the doctor that our dog was on the way to the office to get her bath and could she PLEASE put her favorite colored bows in Brooks hair. I was so excited because we usually get a bow but PIGTAILS? Awesome! Thank you Dr. Caudy!

Mini-me

So, Tessa is so like me sometimes it kills me! Tessa came up with a few "slogans" for our big day tomorrow. A few of the kids at my property heard me talking about going tomorrow and asked to come or have me tell them about it. Political opinions aside I am just proud to see the kids (Tessa included) interested in the election. So here are Tessa's slogan ideas:
Barack and Roll
Barack my World
And her favorite, or the one that makes her laugh the most
Little Barack Arkansas
Witty kid, huh?

Working for the weekend

So, today I am if possible a little more fired up than usual. The weekend is going to be SO FUN! On tap:

Going to see Pineapple Express with Brian

Ohio State opens against Youngstown State- Today I am wearing my Jim Tressel sweater vest

And what I am most excited about: Barack Obama is speaking at Tessa's school and we're going. Tessa thinks I am a loser (again) because I am wearing my Michelle Obama pearls. FYI, Michelle Obama will also be there. Also, the Upper Arlington Arts Festival is Monday. A few years ago I found my favorite piece of artwork that we own by Chris Plummer and now I'm up to three of his pieces. Check his schedule to see if he is going to be showing at a festival near you. Somewhere in the middle of all that I've got to start narrowing down what I want to pack for the Toronto Film Festival NEXT WEEK! So, to segue into my theme song for the weekend, here is a little Loverboy for you.

Have you wordled?

If not, you should. Here is mine, now you do yours.

So, I'm taking a poll

It has been mentioned around our house that the gist of my blog seems possibly to be about poking fun at Brian, my husband. What can I say, he amuses me! So, I decided to do a poll and see what other people's perceptions are. I just like to laugh along at the challenges as well as the fun of married life as much as I do anything else in life. So feel free to vote, but I have to forewarn you that it's not going to change anything, it's strictly for my own entertainment purposes! The poll is to the left of the posts.
