Ah the speech of Mrs. Palin

For those of you who think Sarah Palin rocked your world last night by saying everything you wanted to hear...some facts.

Ahhh...good ol' abstince. Sure didn't work for her family. Good thing they are getting married because that is what 17/18 year old kids should do...freaking idiot. I wonder if this marriage plan was in the works before she was vetted or if she bought the poor child an engagement ring for her daughter herself.

John McCain's VP Pick

I find it appalling that McCain is using Sara Palin as a pawn to gain the trust of women who know little more then she kept her precious child after learning that it had downs. Since when is that extraordinary? Many mothers who have less support and financial stability make that same choice every day. Well here are the things I have learned after briefly researching her online and enough for me to find her nomination repulsive...

1. Her education credentials are clearly lacking with only "Bachelor's Degree in Journalism/Communications"
2. Her strong beliefs about overturning Roe v Wade
3. They speak of Barack's lack of experience...she has only been the Governor of AK which proceeds her brief time as a mayor and city council member. Let's face it she is a business woman whose location and states natural resources made her a politician. Do you want your HR rep to be next in line for the presidency because that is what would happen if the McCain/Palin ticket won.
4. Her resume is primarily oil and gas related. Does she know anything else?
5. Her antiquated ideas about women's rights


I just hope that Americans can see past the disgusting way the McCain is using this woman as a media distraction, seemingly believing that women will vote for just because he picked a woman as his VP. This doesn't make him a "maverick" it makes him an idiot. Why don't we just go back to mid-evil politics where women were married off for political gain? How is this much different she is nothing more then a "trophy wife" for McCain's campaign. Before you vote John McCain do you really want this woman to be Commander and Chief? It's not a silly question...let's face facts...McCain is as old and decrepit as his ideas.

PS We made it safely to CA today...after 24ish hours. It was a long drive. We are all very tired, but this whole thing is killing me and I had to get it off my chest. Hillary should have spit in her face instead of congratulating her...ok I better stop. P.S. Obama's speech was just ok to me. Couple things I didn't like, but overall he's definitely my man after this bullshit...I am truly disgusted.

Update on House Hunting

Just sending out a little update. We have offers on two houses. Friday there was one offer that had been accepted, but then they said that there were other offers and they were reviewing them all. We don't really know what is going on there, so we are hoping to hear something today. One house I have seen pictures of and the other one I have not, but I trust Jeromy's judgement on the houses. During our house hunting trip we were in agreement on most houses...well there was this one old lady house with a beautiful yard with tons of flowers and a pool, but the house was pretty 70's and Jeromy hated it...I would have suffered with the house to have the yard, but what do you do. Nothing on the job front. Jeromy has the laptop in CA, so I'm doing most of my online stuff at Kinko's and the college library. It works fine, but I can only sit at the library so long and I get bored. I'm also waiting on another draft of my resume because I didn't like the first one they sent me.

As long as one of these houses goes through this week we will be moving next weekend to CA. I'm hoping this is the case because I'm very bored without Jeromy around and I'm ready to start fixing up our new home.
