Twilight is approaching. . . .

Hola people,

So busy weekend, busy Monday. I figured I needed to write today for the three people that randomly read my bog. Twilight will be coming out Friday morning at 12:01 a.m. Now you may ask yourself what kind of a jackass would go see a movie at that hour? A teenage girl smitten by the lead male? A tween boy who like vampires? The answer is none of the above, but me.

            I LOVE TWILIGHT, I LOVE TWILIGHT, I LOVE TWILIGHT, I LOVE TWILIGHT, I LOVE TWILIGHT

Yep I am dragging my arse into the theater then going to work the next day (LIKE THE CRAZY BEOTCH THAT I AM). I know I am crazy but the idea of seeing it right away is exciting (WOO HOO Edward). I finished all four books in less than five days (bragging is all I have). I had a day break in between so that makes is a little more impressive. I am so excited to see the characters come to life. I will update all on my findings of the film, characters etc. But for now I figured I would leave you with this . . .  I thought about putting a leaked scene in here, but I want it to be a surprise, so here goes. . . .

The perfect Christmas Gift . . . Of All Time . . .

Good Morning all,

    So the search has begun for the best Christmas gifts ever. Due to my life partner I have a lot of additional people on my list and I am obsessive about finding the right gift for each person. It is always great to receive something nice, by my joy comes from the reaction of someone who truly loves what I gave them. I love seeing them smile or laugh at the item I hand picked just for them.

     I have given some odd gifts over the years. One year mys sister and I took over the tradition of “Santa Piles” (small piles of gifts like a calender, makeup, basketball etc for each person) we gave my dad a bottle of mustard in his pile. I have also been able to give people some great gifts. Last year I made both of my parents over sized quilts with pictures of our family screen all over it.

MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!!

     The challenge is a little harder this year because I have set the bar at a ridiculously high level. I want this to be a Christmas to remember. I am trying to accomplish my own miracle on Quincy Bridge Ct. I already have gotten some gifts that will knock peoples socks off. I can’t wait to see my niece and nephew open gifts with our family as well as M.

Every time a bell rings . . . .

     Each person is different. My brother is generally the hardest to “please”, but M runs a close second. Now when I say this I mean that when these men open a gift JOY does not shoot out of them. They ponder the gift, smile, and say thanks. To this day I am still waiting for the gift that knocks my brothers socks off. This just might be the year.

I know HIM!!!!!!

     Any special gifts on your list this year. If you could ask Santa for anything what would it be?

Wisconsin Dells Closed back in 5 Minutes!

Morning all,

Yay!

    So I had a fun weekend, Friday night we had dinner with my Dad for his birthday at the Yard House in Glenview (good spinach dip). Then I decided to surprise M and take him up to Wisconsin Dells for a night this weekend as a little getaway for his birthday which was last week. We had the pleasure of my sister in law (married to my brother) and their two kids (Aidan and Delaney) joining us! We stayed at the Wilderness.( www.wildernessreosrt.com) They had multiple indoor water parks so we splashed and frolicked and then came home Sunday morning (driving to the Dells is less fun than sleeping in the backseat FYI).

     There was only one small problem. . . I had decided that because M had never been up to the Dells I would take him to all of the places my family and I had frequented during the many trips we tookwhen I was younger (Yay Nostalgia). So for dinner Saturday we drove on over to Mexicali Rose, an amazing Mexican restaurant which serves kiddie cocktails in a boot shaped glass and it was CLOSED. . . Joy. So ok no big deal we ate at Moose Jaw (got my kiddie cocktail there!) which was very good and the kids had a good time, except when Delaney refused to put on her coat and then cried when she got cold (sorry I didn’t listen more when I was little Mom). Next I figured we could stop at the Indian Trading Post. A store with everything from kids toys and trinkets to moccasins and turquoise jewelry. I remember many a jaunt there as a child and I had planned to relive this, but unfortunately they were CLOSED too . . . joy. Then we decided oh well maybe the Deer Park will be open, not a chance. That placed was sealed up like Fort Knox.

    So I know what your thinking no worries because we could still enjoy an awesome homemade breakfast at the world famous Paul Bunyan’s! But you would be wrong because as we approached I realized not one car graced the parking lot, and the glorious sign stated the sad truth. Paul Bunyan was CLOSED until next season. So did this ruin my weekend? No I got to have a good time with everyone, and those things will all be there next year when we go again (DURING OPEN SEASON!) We had a blast with the kids and I think little trips like this are something they will remember too.

P.s. Shout out to the Wilderness who gave me a free upgrade into the Monty Suite, Gracia’s!

P.s Wilderness WTF why haven’t you called me back about the blanket we left in our room?

P.s. I’m sorry I just liked that blanket, thanks.

Proposition 8 Effective, Slippery Slope

Good Morning Everyone,

     It was an interesting day yesterday. A lot of good press for Barack Obama and for our country. There are some things I would like to address today. Some comments were sent to me yesterday. Some great and thank you for all of them, even one in particular who called me a liberal (better than a bitch I guess) anti American supporter of a racist new President.

     I remember one night about three months ago we gathered for dinner at my father’s home. My Uncle as well as a few other members of my family were present and the discussion (add 3 bottles of wine) of Politics arose. This topic is not discussed very often with us because mixing wine with words is never a good combination (it seems as if the older generations were taught a political discussion cannot be a pleasant thing), but we pushed forth and my sister and I who are both supporters of Barack Obama were asked a question. . .

“If John McCain was elected to be the next President of the United States , would he be your President?”

     We both immediately answered emphatically “YES”. Because a lot of people have lost sight of what our country is REALLY about. We stand for unity, not Republicans or Democrats or members of the Green party. This country was formed to give us freedoms that weren’t given to people in other parts of this world. I wanted to elect Batrack Obama because I think he stands for a lot of things I want our country to be, but if John McCain had clinched this election I would have supported him and hoped that he could change this country around. He would have been MY President.

     Theproblem with this is a lot of people do not feel this way. They are angry, and upset that “their” candidate did not win. A lot of people supported hate instead of Gay marriage in this election. After all of this hoopla I officially have become a Gay Rights Activist. You heard it here first. I am a conservative when it comes to certain things (I know it shocks you), but when it comes to basic human rights I will not falter. this amendment must be reviewed. How can we say yes to freedom, while encouraging the repression of people?

    How can people spew hate towards others because they don’t share the same views? Here is a little piece of advice . . . Stop hating the differences you encounter in others, because it is this that makes us question, and challenge, and push forth for a new, and and better future. What would happen if nothing had ever changed? We would have slaves, and I would be married off with five kids and no freedom or voice (Ha).

     Focus on building our country back into the Nation it should be. Like our new President -Elect has said now is a time for unity. We need to come together. I do not want to fight wars on our own soil, while we have been forced to fight them overseas. Embrace the differences between you and your neighbors, love your children, educate yourself, let people live in a world where we do not shun anyone because of race, or gender, or sexual preference.

   And for all of you that claim this will be a slippery slope. . .  I think we are smart enough to say no when a man decides to marry a goat or a woman wants to marry a pair of shoes. We are talking about basic RIGHTS, and if I told you tomorrowthat you were not allowed to enter through the front door of my home because that door is reserved for my homosexual friends would that affect you?

     Live your life with the pursuit of Happiness.

Till Next Time,

Proposition 8, Thanks For Nothing California

Hello all,

My elation over Barack Obama’s win last night has been damper-ed a bit today by the notion of the fact that proposition 8 has been passed and that means that thousands of people across the country including many well known celebrities such as Ellen Degeneres and Melissa Ethridge are no longer married legally to their respective spouses.

I am disheartend that we have grown to look beyond in this country. Beyond gender, beyond race, beyond ethnic backrounds, but we can’t allow people who love each other to marry?

Does gay marriage make any straight marriage less sacred, or special?

Does gay marriage diminish your marriage?

Do you feel if a woman marries a woman it changes your relationship with your spouse?

I think that a lot of people out there need to open their minds. Unless we want to intaill separate drinking fountains and schools for African Americans again, or tell woman we are not equal to men again, or maybe tell Jews they don’t deserve to live. then I suggest we wake up and give the right to HUMAN BEINGS who are gay to be HUMAN BEINGS. If someone told you that your not allowed to sit here only people who are rich can sit here, what would you do?

Ok I will answer for you . . . YOU WOULD BE PISSED! Because someone decided to violate your rights as a person.  We need to take a good look around and we need to remember the separation of church and state. If you want to be married then do it in a church or with your religious ad-visor if that is what makes it special to you. But when did marriage become regulated by the government? Why not have arranged marriages instead, that way we have no choice at all.

Take a good hard look at our country because it is about to change. I am not gay, but I wish I was because I would be the most outspoken Lesbian you’ve ever seen.

I voted for Barack Obama, and now I am “voting” to have the rights of people given back to them, not because it’s in my power to do so, but because it’s RIGHT.
