Good Food

So after all that cleaning I decided that Robert deserved a good hardy meal so today I made fried chicken, scalloped potatoes, and asparagus. I have never fried chicken before but it turned out great. As you can see Scott was here to help consume the food.

Deep Cleaning

Usually, Robert and I clean our carpets every 6 months (the water treatment plant across the road from us has been doing construction for like 4 yeas now and it can get pretty dusty and we tract in a lot of dirt) but this year we never got around to it until now. I thought I wold show you just how bad our carpets had gotten. (I am ashamed I let it get this bad, but please don't think we are dirty people.)

Unconditional Surrender

So this weekend one of my roommates from St. George, UT, Kelli, came to San Diego to visit. Among doing many things we had our picture taken by a very famous statue. You can't tell in the picture of us, but the statue is huge, we only go up to the nurses feet.



This is the original picture of the American sailor kissing a young woman on V-J Day in Time Square on August 14, 1945, taken by Alfred Eisenstaedt.


J.Seward Johnson Jr. made a sculpture based on Eisenstaedt's photo of V-J Day, titled Unconditional Surrender in 2005.

Candy Corn

So you would think that with it being Halloween and all there would be huge amounts of Candy Corn in the stores. Well think again. I had to go to 3 different stores and finally at the last store I had to dig through all their candy and only found one bag of candy corn. I mean, really people, this only comes out once a year; you would think that they would produce tons of this stuff cause it is so good and obviously it is a high demand. Needless to say the search took forever but that one bag didn't last me long especially with exams.

YES! For Prop. 8 News: Is It Worth Redefining Your Freedom Of Speech For A Banana Story? Experiment here…

I read this post and really liked it so I am re-posting it. If you would like to read it from the source it is: http://abbyearth.wordpress.com/2008/10/21/yes-for-prop-8-news-you-cant-give-equality-to-apples-bananas-because-they-are-different/

Reason proves that if I treat apples and bananas 100% equal, I’m not going to get equal results. Why? Say my mom packs me a school lunch because I’m brown baggin it to school today. Inside my brown lunch sack she puts a ripe apple and a ripe banana. Ok, so far 100% equal treatment, right?

As I run to the bus stop, I shove my brown bag into my book bag. Ok, so far 100% equal treatment, right?

After a bumpy bus ride, I get to school and rush to my class. I take my seat seconds before the bell rings and I shove my book bag under my chair. Ok, so far, still 100% equal treatment, right?

You’ve had a ripe banana, yes? What happens during the day as I repeatedly bounce from class to class and shove that bag under my chair? Although both the apple and the banana are treated 100% equally, the banana is not designed like the apple and it easily gets bruised and turns into a brown mush. You already know how fast ripe bananas get brown!

No matter how much that banana screams to be treated equal to the apple…

No matter how many times that banana calls me a biggot, bananaphobe, or rips my yard sign up that says apples do better in my lunch bag…(see below for how the story ends)

Laws of nature, outside my control, dictate that the results will always be different because an apple will never be a banana and vice versa. See, isn’t reason sweet? =)

Let’s reason together: Heterosexuals and homosexuals ( I like to call the term same-sexuals) are DIFFERENT! One is a man + a woman and the other is either man+man or woman+woman. THESE ARE NOT ALL APPLES!! There are 3 totally different relationships going on here. Marriage IS THE TERM describing the relationship between the man and the woman.

If you know to stop at a red light, you’d agree it’s unreasonable to say to your child would you like an apple or an apple when you’re holding up 1 apple and 1 banana!!

For a changing society, we need NEW TERMS to describe the types of relationships people have the free choice to form – not new laws that will put us all in speech & religious bondage.

If the opponents to Prop. 8 were really interested in defining their relationships, they would be lobbying for their own definition, their own term of their relationship rather than trying to force it from something else. Evidence is here now and it is mounting that the struggle of Prop. 8 is NOT about marriage per se it is everything about American freedom…your, mine, and our same-sexual friends.

(BTW, the apple and the banana realize I think they both are sweet, but always different, so they live in peace and harmony and freedom ever after.)

It is freedom that is under attack, your freedom!

Simple. Reasonable. Straight forward. www.protectmarriage.com, www.preservingmarriage.org, www.whatisprop8.org, www.ifprop8fails.org .

Will you defend America’s freedom and vote for prop. 8?

If emotions take over and reason falls to the mushy bananas, well…see the YouTubes below…because in this election YOUR freedom is at stake. Don’t take my word for it, get the evidence yourself, there’s tons of it on this blog and in the links. Go see…
