News and thoughts

Life has been busy, busy, busy. I have not even looked at my blog in over a week. I have not read a blog in over a week. I have not really read ANY news for over a week (but, I do listen to it on the radio on my way to work) and I feel insanely out of the loop. So for some personal random news and thoughts... (Please excuse the jumpiness and the fact that this post really has no form of organization to it)
I am coming to Utah this weekend (tomorrow morning I fly in and I'll be there until Monday). For conference. And to hang out. Call me.
The Cubs and the White Sox are in the playoffs and Chicago is insane. I have tickets for next week's playoff game if...not I'm not going to finish that sentence....
I'm now in an office with a beautiful view of a lake and lot's and lot's of trees. I love it.
Anyone who knows me, or has talked to me in person for longer then five minutes knows I have long lashes that stick out pointy straight. I bought a new eyelash curler from Shu Eumera. I love it. Curls them perfectly in seconds. A very good investment.
Sometimes I wish texting had never been invented. It ruins the art of vocal communication.
I've come up with a list of things to do during my commute to work and home, here it is:
1. Eat breakfast. Specifically cereal. It's more of challenge and thus I am less bored in traffic.
2. Organize my purse.
3. Make appointments, like doctor and such.
4. Make phone calls (only on my way home though, I don't converse with people before 9 a.m.)
5. Listen to the radio, some good stations out here are The Drive 97.1 (very fitting) and country 99.5.
Because of The Drive, which is a classic rock station, I am now an Eagles fan. The band, not the football team. Never. Yeah, hardcore rock is fast becoming my thing. Who knew?
And I have been so busy, I have not been paying attention to celebrity gossip and am so entirely out of the loop it's disturbing.
I don't know what I'm going to do about the presidential elections. Did you see Sarah Palin's interview with Katie Couric. I didn't, but I heard about it. Disturbing and embarrassing. Your thoughts? I need some conservative views here. I'm in Liberal land. I need to stay balanced
I joined a gym. I work out. Try to actually.
Anyways, enough about me. There's my new and thoughts corner for the week.

Here's what I thought about the interview. No, it didn't go well. But the whole thing is Couric trying to play gotcha. Purposely looking to humiliate Palin at any expense. I'm so sick of the media and their "unbiased" views. It's just like that interview a couple weeks ago where whatever his name asked Palin if she agreed with the Bush doctrine. Palin didn't know what it was, but neither does anyone else. In fact, the man who first introduced the "Bush doctrine" (was it Krauthammer? I can't remember) claims that it's something else entirely and yet the media still reported it as this huge embarrassment for her, when the reporter should be mocked.

They're just playing games with her. It makes me sad.

Oh, and I think texting is one of the worst inventions. It has its place. But it's mostly misused.

You and your random thoughts... I love um. Well I can't wait to see you tomorrow! Brad can feel you in on the interview when you get here. I'll see you at 10.

I didn't see the Palin interview, but I have seen bits and pieces, and my face turned red FOR her. I think Amy Pohler said it best on SNL when doing a skit of the interview (she played Katie). She asked, "Why does it seem that when you are backed into a corner you become more adorable?" It just reminds me that Palin truly is an everyday average citizen--and I like that. No, I don't think she would be ready to be president, but that is McCain's job and I think he is more than qualified. I'm nervous for the VP debate tonight--I wish Palin luck!

Beauty advice wanted! I know you switch your hairstyle from curly to straight. I have naturally curly/wavy hair and would like to use it more, but I don't know how. I've tried some gels but one left my hair super crunchy and it looked wet all day, and the other didn't really do anything. What is your favorite stuff to use?

Whew! That was a worldwind of randomness. LOVE IT. Are you getting together with Angela? I want to see you this weekend! I'll come up to SLC if that's where you're staying. Or are you in PROVO?! I will make it happen. Do you check you're e-mail? I'll send my number. Or look up yours on face book. Is it on there?

Palin. Haven't seen any of her interviews live, but I've seen plenty of clips. And unfortunately I think we're going to miss the debate tonight. I have so many thoughts on her, and mostly conflicting. It's a love/hate relationship.

Glad you have curly eye lashes! Like you need anything to make you more beautiful. =D

So. I'll get a hold of you. Good luck traveling! We aren't supposed to get the bad weather till Saturday.
