Weekend Activities
1. We went to our ward Halloween Party. It was also a chili cook off. After dinner the kids did a little "trunk or treating."
2. We took Adam to see the Fall Festival at the arboretum. A man asked to take a picture of Lulu's ruby red shoes. Lulu was happy to oblige.
3. I sliced my index finger open cutting a tomato for Teddy. Luckily I didn't need stitches. Adam patched me together and it seems to be healing. I've never realized how much I use my index finger, especially when typing a blog post. I guess I now understand why, according to Adam, they always try to reattach a severed index finger.
4. I've decided my skin isn't nearly as thick as I thought. With the election coming closer, presidential candidates seem to be the hot topic of conversation. I usually love this and can't get enough, but this weekend has sent me over the edge. A few friends were chatting and I mentioned I was voting for Obama. I'm not kidding, I swear the look of disgust on one of my friend's face could have killed someone. But it wasn't a look of disgust for Obama, it was a look of disgust that I was actually VOTING for the man. Interesting. She literally looked at me like I was the dumbest person on this earth. I'm not sure why it bothered me so much. I guess I'm sick of defending my choice, especially in the Mormon community. I'm not making anyone else defend their choice, why should I? Especially since it is usually me and then a gang of other people. I don't mind discussing the election. Actually I really enjoy it. I guess I mind when people act like if I only had all the information I would change my mind. Let me clear this up- I don't need the policies of either candidate explained to me. I understand them, really I do. I know.. shocking. I'm still voting for Obama. I can see the wheels churning and someone thinking.. but how could you still vote for Obama if you understand his policies? BECAUSE.. I WANT TO!
Oh well- I'll just be glad when it is over.
