THIS AND THAT

Good Monday Morning. It's especially good since I have today and tomorrow off! I'm off to play Bingo with my mom-in-law in a bit, but thought I'd update the blog with the latest happenings.

Tim and Judy are parents again! Asher Newton has joined the family. All are healthy and happy. With three boys, I'm sure their hands are full, but their hearts are too! I tried to upload a picture of the baby too . . . but Smilebox wasn't being cooperative. He's a cutie, you'll just have to take my word for it at this point.



The kids and I enjoyed the Arizona State Fair a week ago. It is apparent from this picture the I am still struggling to figure out my cell phone camera. A fun time was had by all. They got to ride rides until they felt like throwing up, I got to eat Indian Fry Bread until I felt like throwing up.

Election Day 2008 I got up early to go vote, went to work, then after work went to the political parties with my well-connected Republican friends, Terri and Kerry. The Democrat's party at the Wyndham Hotel was packed, with a line out the door and around the block to get in, so we headed down to the Civic Plaza for Election Central. Watched some results come in. Terri ran into a friend who said that Congressman Ed Pastor was holding his party at the Matador, so we went there. I got to meet the Congressman, and he gave us each a free drink ticket. We settled on the patio across from the Wyndham and weren't there very long before Obama hit 270 electoral college votes and the Wyndham went insane. Kerry had worked earlier in the day making phone calls on behalf of John McCain, so she had tickets to the McCain bash at the Biltmore. After the Obama crowd spilled out into the street honking and chanting and cheering, it was decided that the Biltmore might be a bit depressing, so we called it a night. It was a fun time with the gals on a history making night.
