A couple of times a week Ethan will come out with some whacked out outfit on. This was tonight’s. Clip on tie, ball cap, mardi gras beads, thermal shirt, one mitten and a remote control.

We’ve been waiting for this to happen for over a year now.  Big times ahead.

It’s all I can think about!

Last night I sent Adam and Ethan to Target to pick up some candy for Ethan’s class. I also asked them to get a card for Ethan’s first grade teacher. Let me repeat that. First grade teacher. This is the card they came home with. The inside of the card is equally lovely. It says:

Happy Valentine’s Day!
(You better watch your butt!)

What in the hell was he thinking? I truly thought he was joking when he said “there weren’t any cards left specifically for teachers” and handed me this creation. I immediately asked “where’s the real card?” and when he insisted that was it, I started searching through the bags.

Needless to say, we had to put something else together. I have definitely learned my lesson on this one. My husband has no clue as to what’s appropriate for a first grader to give to his teacher.

What is your name’s secret meaning?

Those of you who know me definitely know what fits and what doesn’t.  I’d say this one is about 50% right. 

Because this is such a fun little site, and also because it’s just a little bitty baby and just turned a week old, I decided to share it with you today.

http://www.hubdub.com/

This is a perfect site for me.  I love news.  I love current events.  I love gambling.  

Hubdub is a news forecaster site.  You gamble on the outcome of a particular news event, and win hubdub dollars.  When you join in on the news forecasting fun, you are given $1000 in hubdub dollars.  Once you’ve got your money, the fun starts and you begin wagering your money on different topics.   You can choose your topics by browsing through a variety of categories including entertainment, politics, business, or technology. 

I joined the other day, and am already down $40.00 after betting on three events.  One has yet to be determined, but I’ll know that outcome by late tonight.

Sounds fun, doesn’t it? Go ahead and join.  And if you want to invent the questions, well, you can do that, too. 

 I am a member of MoveOn.org, and received this in an e-mail today.

I have officially declared who my vote will hopefully get to go to in November, and am using this video to make the announcement.
