Potpourri

Isn't that the name of a category on Jeopardy? I conclude it means a big old mess of stuff by the questions in that category.

So here's where my head is at, right this minute:

1. Still following the election pretty close. I can't believe how wrapped up I've become in it. It's odd, too. I live in a super-conservative neighborhood. Four years ago, you couldn't go two houses without seeing a "Bush" sign. There are serveral McCain signs in the neighborhood, but the number of Republican signs is much fewer than it was in 2004. For a while it looked like we were the only ones with a Democrat sign in the front yard. However, last weekend, another appeared! I like to call that progress.
2. Lots going on at church. We've started having events on Wednesday nights again. I have to say I am enjoying this much more than I thought I would. At first all I could think about was having to rush home after work to get the kids and fight traffic to get to church by 6:00. It was a choice for the first couple of weeks. Then Maggie was asked if she would like to join the child care team, especially for Wednesday nights. So then it looked like I HAD to go on Wednesday nights in order to get Maggie there. You know what? I've found out that I really enjoy the meal, vespers service, fellowship and hanging out with the kids while parents do their thing. It's not a hassle, like I was worried it would be.
3. Worried about this Sarah Palin business. I read on-line today that Tina Fey said if Sarah Palin becomes the vice president, it would be "over" for Tina Fey. She said she can't go through four years of impersonating this woman (though she does a bang-up job!). She said it would be literally "over" because she would have to pretty much die if the country decides Sarah Palin is worthy of being vice president. I'm not quite that drastic in my opinion because I'm worried McCain/Palin may actually win and I don't want to have to kill myself to carry out a threat! Check out this blog: http://womenagainstsarahpalin.blogspot.com/ It's one of the best sites I've found.
4. Another site I've stumbled across is www.winster.com This is a gaming site with slots, poker, sudoku, etc... The object of this site is to help other people win a game. For example in slots, if I am going for all 7s and I see someone is going for all diamonds, that other person will give me a 7 or I will give him a diamond if I get one. It's really a feel good site.

That is all I'm going to rant about right now. I'll think of more later I'm sure.
