I'm just finding time now and then to catch up on life. Kickball started and we're losing. I am not used to this. But I'm also playing with a team full of people who haven't played kickball since grade school and don't know how to appropriately run the bases to win games. ;) But we're having fun and that's the important thing!
I discovered some things from the last time I wrote:
- The Lumineers--Seriously where have I been that I just NOW know who they are. I love them.
- My nephew Caden keeps getting cuter. He keeps "kissing" me on the phone.
- The one thing that's good about the upcoming election is that I keep getting political emails which I fact check before I form an opinion being an Independent and all. I also discovered that all of those emails hold no truth, but I learned something like actual facts, so that's good. I also can't figure out why others don't fact check such things before they hit Forward. (On a complete side note, most of these non-factual emails are all against the current administration which I also found to be really odd.)
- Things that make me think the actual President isn't all that bad. . .in Sioux City, IA on a stop, he stopped at a local dive bar to just have a beverage and talk to people. He held up some friends of friends going to a wedding reception by doing so as they had just stopped in for a drink between the wedding and the reception. He ended up writing a congratulatory note to the Bride and Groom AND a "I'm sorry your friends are now late to your reception" note as well. The best part: He was at a dive bar and not like an upscale bar. Also, while in Des Moines recently, he was at another stop and incidentally held up a wedding. Turns out he and Michelle sent a gift to the Bride and Groom and a "I'm sorry note." The Bride was a Republican and said while she was most annoyed, it was very thoughtful they sent her a beautiful gift. But she still wasn't going to vote for him. haha! It doesn't matter what affiliation you are, you have to admit that is pretty cool on 2 levels.
- One thing my Dad and I do agree on politically at the moment is that everyone in Congress needs to not be re-elected, and we should just start over there.
- I watched this show on Starz called Boss. Claire from 90210 is in it but if you're expecting innocent, be prepared to see her boobs at least 3 times every episode. Kelsey Grammer stars in it. He plays the mayor of Chicago. I asked a friend is it's somewhat close to accurate to which I was told, some of it for sure! If you like corruption, mob like stuff, and pure "woah" factor, this is the show for you.
Until we meet again!
