In the news...

I was at Target the other day and I overheard a little girl telling her mother how much she loved spinach. I had a flash and I pictured me with my daughter and she was telling me how much she loved spinach and I was SO proud. I so want to raise the kinds of kids that will eat healthy food and like it. Now, if only I could get Tim to like spinach, maybe that would be a start.

I must be hormonal this week. I’ve been thinking about kids a lot. It’s probably since our friend just bought a house and I’m wishing it was me. The little house, the little family…. I’ve got the nesting bug. I wonder if they have a pill for that?

And in other news, My boss told me today that they are considering hiring me full time so I can get health care! I’ve never been so excited to have a real job. Sure, the military gives you health care, but they also try to kill you half the time, so it’s the least they can do. I am totally kicking ass at my job. I feel so happy and empowered. I thought I knew Photoshop before, but I am learning piles of stuff everyday that I never knew. I’m becoming a faster and better designer with this job. I really like my boss too. I like everyone I work with, which is really a first for me. I am excited to go to that place and work really hard for not a ton of money….just because, it’s really fun and dammit… I LOVE CHRISTMAS!

We just got back from seeing the Da Vinci Code. I thought the book was pretty good and the movie is excellent as well. I actually thought Paul Bettany played the Albino perfectly. He was so incredibly tortured and creepy. It does make me think a lot about the church and the ideas that it presents. I’m reading this book right now called, “Papal Sins” and it’s all about the Catholic church and history of the position of Pope. It really just reinforces the idea to me that men are and really putting someone in a position where they have power over others is like giving them a loaded weapon. Almost no man is immune from temptation, not even the Pope. If there is just one true god (which I find doubtful) he surely must be saddened at all the rules that have been created and enforced in his name. It’s a sad thing really. But I’m not trying to start any kind of political/religious firestorm here. I really hate debating…

Our house is like a steam room. Ugh…. It’s so warm in here. I swear when we buy a house, I’m going to get those smart windows installed that keep heat in when it’s cold, and heat out when it’s hot. I can’t stand this awful sticky feeling…

Anyway, that's all for now... more to come.
