I got up early yesterday morning and showered so I would be ready to go after Carter's morning nap. Of course he didn't take his full morning nap so that worried me. But I got him up anyways, fed and dressed him in his Tiny Republican onesie and off we went to the hill. My second worry was the fact that he hadn't had a dirty diaper. He usually does one after his morning feeding but of course he didn't this morning, which only meant one thing. He would have it at some point while I was on the hill. Of course as soon as we pulled into the garage I could smell it. I had about 10 minutes to spare so we changed it quickly in the car and off we went.
|For all my DC friends, this onesie came from Dawn Price Baby. They have great political onesies if you're looking for one.
As soon as we arrived at the interview Carter was just as happy as could be. He was smiling and talking to everyone. I was SO happy! Then we went into the interview. We had a slight delay at the beginning because one of the people I was meeting with had to take a phone call. Within 5 minutes of waiting on him to return the meltdown began. Oh yeah, Carter had a meltdown. Full blown screaming and tears. I tried to get him to settle down but I think he could sense my frustration and nervousness so things weren't going well. I gave him about 5 minutes and then I called Chris. Thankfully he was on the hill and headed to lunch with a friend of ours so he was able to come and get Carter. So I learned a valuable and obvious lesson, never take a 12 week old to an interview. No matter how badly people say they want to see the cute little baby!
The best party of the story is the fact that my interview lasted two hours. The entire time I couldn't help but think that Chris was probably making laps around the building trying to keep Carter calm. I also didn't bring a bottle with me because I never dreamed I would be in the interview that long. When we finally finished I quickly called Chris to find out where he was and how he was doing. Come to find out Carter was a little angel the entire time and met several of our friends while dining at the Capitol Hill Club. Funny how things work out!
But back to the point of this post. After leaving the hill the reality of going back to work really hit home. I've enjoyed every second of my maternity leave and I have tried not to think about going to work. I guess I've done a good job of it because after being there today and talking extensively about my job it really made me upset. The current member of Congress I work for is retiring at the end of the year; therefore, everyone on staff is currently looking for a new job. It's definitely a little bittersweet because I enjoy the member I work for and I like my co-workers. All of this does come at a difficult time with elections just around the corner and coming off three months of maternity leave. I would rather not have to stress about my work situation, but I certainly can't change the circumstances.
I would love nothing more in this world than to stay home with Carter. I'd like a few extra months, weeks, days, you name it. I realize that if my wish was granted I'd be in the same position once that time passed, but I just don't know how mom's do it. I love our days together. I love going to get him first thing in the morning and spending a few extra minutes snuggling in the bed with Chris before he has to get up and get ready for work.
I love feeding him in the bed while watching Good Morning America and The Today Show and then reading stories and doing tummy time before it's time for his morning nap. I love enjoying the peace and quiet in the house when he takes his morning nap so I can enjoy some coffee and catch up on emails.
I love having him just sit in my lap and smile and coo at me.
I love rocking him to sleep. I love lying beside him on the floor while we play with his toys. I love how he'll stop nursing for a second or two just to give me a great big smile. I love going into his room to get him up from his nap and how he'll just stare at me with those big blue eyes.
I love unswaddling him after a nap and watching him stretch his arms way above his head. I love how he gets excited when lying on our bed and watching the ceiling fan. I love taking him to the non-mobile playgroup. I love organizing play dates with friends who have children his age.
I love every single minute of everyday that I have with him.
How am I supposed to leave for 9 hours of the day while someone else gets to take care of him? How am I supposed to be OK with someone else witnessing his firsts and telling me about it? I want to hear his first laugh and see him roll over for the first time. I want to see him take his first steps. Yes, there are pictures and video but it isn't the same. I want to be here to witness it myself and give him a big kiss and hug when he reaches those milestones. Not someone else.
I recognize his different cries and know how he likes to be held. I want to nurse him throughout the day and have him look at me with those big blue eyes. I know his schedule and how he likes to stick to it. I'm his mom and I'm supposed to be the one with him day in and day out. We haven't had a day apart since the day he was born and there are even times when I miss being pregnant with him. From time to time I'll think I feel in a kick in my stomach and I miss having him there.
I realize women struggle with their roles as mothers and their careers every single day. It does scare me to think about leaving the working world for too long and not being able to get back into it without being judged or penalized. I guess no one understands the struggle until they have to face it themselves. All I know is that there is no job in this entire world that is more important to me than being Carter's mom. I just wish it could be my one and only job for the time being. This age is so special and it surely doesn't last long so I have to cherish every second of it while it lasts. I'm in shock that he's already three months old. I have no idea where the time has gone, but it's no joke that times goes by faster once you have a child. I can only imagine how quickly it will pass once I'm working again.
Chris has been very supportive through all of this and continues to tell me it will be OK. He points out that he never had the time home with Carter that I've enjoyed. I certainly realize that and hope I don't sound selfish through my tears and complaining. I know it has been hard for him to leave for work every morning knowing that Carter and I get to stay home and enjoy our day with one another. I don't know if father's out there get enough credit for what they have to go through themselves, because I know it can't be easy. Wouldn't it be nice if we could all just stay home together as a family and not have to worry about anything else?
I guess all I can do now is pray that I have the strength to get through this transition whether I like it or not. I'm trying to cherish every minute of these last few days I have home but I get upset at the end of each day just because I know it's one more down. Yesterday as I was crying while changing Carter's diaper I noticed he was staring intently at me. I stopped for a second to wipe the tears that were falling down on him and he looked at me with a great big smile on his face. I felt like he was telling me it was going to be OK and he loves me no matter what!

Boo and The Bug have a photo shoot tomorrow. My friend Timna (hi, Timna!) gave me the name of a woman at Family Fun magazine who picks the kids they use in the magazine and they liked my kids. I thought they were cute, but it's nice to have a third party agree with me.
So tomorrow, they'll be getting all dolled up in their holiday best and having their pictures done. I can't wait to see what this will be like – a two-year-old and a 10-month-old in their best bib and tucker, having strange people take their pictures. It will either be fantastic or an unmitigated disaster, full of tears and drama.
They best bit is that they'll be getting paid. Well, I'll be getting paid for them. It's only $100, but $100 is $100.
And in the Too Much Information department, does anyone know if laxatives get passed thru breast milk? My anti-depressant dosage was increased recently and, well, the pipes are more than a little blocked.
I can't believe I'm discussing my plumbing on the internet…have I no shame? Apparently not.

I was intrigued to read the Checklist Manifesto. Is the author's intent to replace project plans with project checklists? Or is it more about complementing the project plan with a checklist? Or does a checklist apply in a completely different set of circumstances that aren't really projects at all? The short answer, from Atul Gawande's perspective, is that a checklist is more suitable for repeated processes and the unexpected results they can generate, rather than one-off projects. This is partly because getting a checklist absolutely right requires even more effort, testing and rigor than creating a project plan. However, where a project does include repeatable processes, a checklist may be an appropriate complement to the project plan.
Below are some of the differences between project plans and checklists, based on the way the book describes checklists:
|Project Plan
|Criteria for inclusion in the plan or list
|All the steps of a project
|Just those that are crucial or often forgotten
|Each task usually has one accountable party
|Encourages a team mentality with everyone able to identify problems
|Typically months or years
|Less than 3 minutes to perform in most cases
|Presentation format
|Large document, often with pages of text and visual display of information such as a Gantt chart
|A succinct, plain text-based list (though sometimes multiple checklists can be grouped together into large documents)
|Creation process
|Often derived from extensive estimates and pre-planning, will be updated for key changes
|Iteratively tested and refined over time – a living document
|Roles/Industries using
|Large variety
|Primarily airline pilots and surgeons – some growth into fields such as finance
The book also notes that the value of checklists within the airline industry are partly the result of formalizing learnings from the extensive post-mortems the industry performs after any accident, and that a signficant side-benefit of checklists are to empower the team. Typically the pilot on a plane, or the surgeon in an operating theater may not be challenged by others in some situations and cultures, whereas the checklist creates a vehicle for this to happen.
I should also note that the book is pretty gruesome, there are operating table accidents and airline crashes (including the recent Hudson River miracle landing) described at a level of detail that will be too graphic for some. Still, it is a provocative and well-researched book with relevant implications for certain aspects of project management, and definitely for any aspect of process management. You can order it here on Amazon if it's of interest.

Eliane was great to work with she was very excited to help my hubby and I create a great experience at our wedding reception for family and friends. Jason our attendant had great energy as he rallied everyone to participate. He explained how the process worked and even made some costume recommendations. We did not have an official photographer for our wedding reception so it was important for the booth to captured the playful, down-to-earth mood that we were looking for. Jason help this occur. Eliane and Jason thank for the passion that you have for the work that you do. It shows in your hard work and dedication. My mom wants to hire you for her joint 50th wedding anniversary and 70th birthday party in the spring! We want Jason! ;-)
Wedding photography and engagement shoot. Yale is really fun to work with and keeps your group in line. We had a wedding party of 16 people and he came up with many shot ideas. He did whatever he needed to "get the shot" - he laid on the floor, stood on chairs, etc. His second shooter was also great to work with. The whole day was awesome and I am excited to see the final products.
Heather was fantastic! I highly recommend These Little Wonders. She made a custom background for the picture strips to match the theme of our party. She arrived early and set up before the guests arrived, and then cleaned up quickly and quietly towards the end of the party. I also recommend the memory book. Her props are excellent, the quality of the photos are great and Heather is wonderful. The photo booth was definitely the hit of the party. Thank you Heather!
One of the BEST dj's ever always knows how to get the party started and keep everybody on the dance floor...Best music selection from old school music to the newest music....Your feet will definitely be hurting after Josh is done dj's at your party....Your the BEST thank you again !!!!
This company is amazing! My family surprised me with this photobooth service for my babyshower party and it was the main attraction. The service was outstanding and the couple who I believe are the owners were so engaging and fun. I really recommend MN photobooth and will hire them again in the future!
We had John do our wedding and it was fantasitic!!! John was easy to get a hold of and easy to talk to! He was there to help with anything and just wanted us to have the best time! He found a song that means a lot to my family from the 1940s! All the guests loved him, he kept the party going and just did an amazing job!
We had Zoom Foto at our employee holiday party. Great experience!
Loved having a photo booth for my grad party and being able to pick out the backdrop that went with my color scheme! Definitely a competitive price compared to other companies and my family and friends loved using it throughout the night!
Ethans Audio & Entertainment made our wedding incredibly fun! Ethan brought the music and kept the party moving throughout the night. Prior to the wedding, Ethan was professional, punctual to our meetings, communicated with us very well, and made sure our needs were met. We highly recommend him!
I recently worked with Limebooth for my birthday party. I love that they were on time and professional throughout the whole session of my rental. I had the best props and services provided. Tai and Lisa were super friendly and always smiling. I felt very comfortable and had the best experience. I definitely recommend their service! Also I gotten a great deal, that's always a plus! Thanks Limebooth!
Shawn has worked with our property management company. He has handled everything from painting, cleaning carpets, cleaning and repairing anything that needs to be fixed when we turn our condos. He also completes the repairs required by the city inspectors. Shawn has also painted and completed repairs on homes that we list on the MLS. Anything from electrical, carpeting, plumbing, etc. I would highly recommend Shawn Sabol!!
Kent was our photographer for our son's first birthday party. We are so pleased his work. Also all our friends that came our party appreciated his work. I would strongly recommend him for your event.
Stacy ran the best photo booth I've ever seen. Get the 8x8x8 inflatable LED photo booth. It will take your party to the next level. Everyone loved it... kids, grandparents, etc. It was crowded all night. Stacy is incredibly organized and personable. She even brings in props and an awesome guest book.
Very happy with the service we received from Memories and More Photo Booth. So professional and yet gave you the feeling like you were part of their family. They had a wide assortment of props for people to choose from. Everyone at the graduation party said it was awesome. I would recommend this company for everyone to use for all occasions. I definitely will use them again in the future. Thanks Mark & Laura for making Brad's graduation party extra special.
Josh was super helpful and flexible when planning my party's photos! Very friendly too! I'd definitely recommend him to others!
The Foam Party is so so much fun! As an adult it is fun! As a Grandma it is fun! When we did it, obviously the kids thought it was fun! Our party was on a semi windy day and we were glad the inflatable pit was being used to contain the foam better, but still the near by trees and bushes snatched up some floating foam clouds. It was very cool to watch when a gust of wind did come up. Great photo pictures! As an adult I did not get in the thick of the foam but had much of it on my legs, arms, and yes, even hair and it dryed right up. The kids in the pit got wetter, yet they dried very quickly. There were no complaints about stinging eyes or itchy skin. Bigger & better than those bubble baths at Grandma's! There was not a person at the party that was not in smiles the entire time the Foam Pit was operational. The kids in our group ranged in age from 12 yrs to 3 yrs, They had fun hiding from each other in the foam. The idea of it being part of some kind of obstacle coarse or in conjunction with a dance/music party sounds appealing for tweens & teens. We had a GREAT time and would recommend everyone give this new type of fun a try. We have referred several people not only to the Foam Party but also to all the other activites that Games2U can offer, such as a Giant Hamster Ball (very fun, even for a Grandma), Booger Wars, Laser Tag and a mobile Game Theater that accommodates up to 24 people at a time, just to name a few of the other fun activites with Games2U. Give the Foam Party a try! Your party goers will love it!

5 Minute Friday: RedSeptember 6, 2013 at 2:35 pm | Posted in 5 Minute Friday, Red | 7 Comments
It's Friday and it's time to blog along with the ladies and gents at 5 Minute Friday. This week's word prompt is RED.
When I think of red, I think of the color and all of its beauty.
Red is the color of the sunset that my husband and I sit and watch nightly; red is the sunrise that I see as I let the German Shepherd puppy girl out in the morning. Red is the breast of the robin as she looks for worms to feed her babies.
When I was morbidly obese (weighing around 250), I knew that I would look like a fire truck if ever I wore red; after my gastric bypass surgery and getting down to a "normal" size, I bought a red dress. I was so amazed that I could wear read and nobody dialed "911" when they saw me coming *giggle
Red is the color of blood, too. My Lord shed his blood for me. Every year during the Lenten season and especially during Holy Week, most especially on Good Friday, I am so emotional at the depth of His love for me. He shed His blood for me. I wasn't even born yet, yet He loved me already – He loved me so much that He gave His life for me.
Red is a beautiful color.

I've been so crazy lately! It seems as though, this week, if I wasn't at JP events, I was working for my dad, and if I wasn't working for my dad, I was doing photographs of and helping with the ballet classes at Magnolia Hills. annnd when I wasn't doing any of those things I was probably staying up until 2am writing e-mails to vendors and getting my ideas together for my "Event Inspiration." I also posted my first blog entry for the company this week, which I will be doing on thursdays until the end of my internship. I am also gearing up for another week of driving back and forth to philly almost every day. But I enjoy it. I can honestly say I really love what I'm doing, even though it's not exactly "exciting" yet, its exciting to me, and I think the key to finding something that excites you, that you love to do and would do in your free time, even if you weren't doing it as a career, and you can turn that into a career, I don't know...I think that's pretty cool to me.
Anyyyway. So for my post on the company blog this week I talked about Etsy! I recently became aware of the fact that...there are actually people out there who don't know what Etsy is, which is just craziness to me! For those of you who don't know, and don't feel like reading my post for the company blog, explaining it, I'll give a quick overview. Etsy is an "online marketplace for buying & selling all things handmade." They have everything from clothing and jewelry to handmade stationary to ceramics and pottery. The paper-goods section of this site is particularly one of my favorites. Screw hallmark, these artists know how to make some beautiful cards, stationary, journals and everything else. They even have an amazing section devoted specifically to all things wedding (what geniuses!). I'd love to give a "holla" to some of my favorite sellers on this site. PistachioPress makes some of the most gosh-darn beautiful letter pressed invitations, stationary and other things in a modern, yet elegantly chic style (and she's the nicest and most helpful person too!). If you're in the market for a bouquet then take a peek at Emily Woottons work. These bouquets are simple, but absolutely breath-taking. If you're looking for something modern with a kick of fun then don't hesitate to look at the Grouchy Chickpea's Design shop. I especially love her Glass Rim Butterflies which look like too much fun!
Well, I'm wrapping up here for tonight, but I have been thinking lately. I think I will mostly be using this blog to talk about things I'm learning at my internship, ideas and inspirations, and I'd also like to talk more in depth about the subject of buying local, that I'll also be discussing on the company blog.
all right! thats it for me tonight!

Last week I said: (There Is Not Enough Information? part 2)
There seems to be a readiness to misrepresent positions, and it seems to be coming mostly from the No proponents.
It is sometimes difficult in the heat of argument to dispassionately evaluate the other person's tactics and motivation, and it can be easy to assign malign motivation and skullduggery, just because they disagree on the particular issue. So it is heartening to read a similar attitude to the other side's information – though the author is on my side of the argument as well, and perhaps could be accused of being equally partisan.
Anyway – here is the editorial from nationalcollective.com

Received very quickly from MF. Immediately restrung
with a set of C6th Strings. I noticed that the P90
pickup is about 30% hotter(louder) than the Strat
style single coil on my other lap steel. Intonation
is spot on. Super value for the price. Sets right in my universal lap steel stand. Will work great for the country dive bars I usually play at.

Comments about Recording King RG-32 Lap Steel Guitar:
This is a nicely finished and fitted instrument for the price. It's an excellent value and it sounds and feels great.
The cons:
The picture in the description doesn't actually match the product. The body is identical, but the headstock is more ornate, and the tuners are steel buttoned instead of the mint plastic buttons. The headstock/tuners look like the other lapsteel (RG 31). No big deal, and I don't really care.
Second, the pickup has a bit of hum, but for the price it's fine. About the noise you'd expect from a cheap P-90.
Lastly, and the biggest for me, the nut slot is cut waay too deep. This is at a critcal juncture at the headstock/neck joint area. I feel the depth of the slot weakens this area. I can push on the headstock with light pressure and hear the strings go sharp. When tuning up from severe flatness, the headstock will flex enough that you have to retune 2-3 times to bring it to pitch. I feel that a drop that would land on the headstock area probably wouldn't do it any good, possibly breaking it. It may be stronger than it appears though. All in all, for the money, it's an excellent instrument.

I had to have reconstructive surgery on my left land so no more fingering strings ... but I can hold a tone bar! I was looking for a lapsteel and saw reviews on this one - I agree with all I had read - so happy I made this purchase!
Comments about Recording King RG-32 Lap Steel Guitar:
Bought this for my wife as a second lap steel. I have bought the Recording King products before. This unit was not set up. The strings were floppy loose, that is okay as I restrung it. While putting new strings on I noticed the tuning machine were loose. All of the screws were stripped out and would not tighten. Started to send it back and decided to repair if and was successful. If we had not wanted to use it immediately, it would have gone back. Overall we like it and will continue to shop Musicians Friend.

Comments about Recording King RG-32 Lap Steel Guitar:
When you first see the guitar it looks like a toy. I was not very happy with that. But as a beginner It will work fine for now.
The pickup has a hum but not bad.
It also arrived with a small blemish on the very top of the head stock. Looks like from the factory finish.
It will work for a beginner lap steel.

Smoked Like Lightning - Horace Sprott
Alabama songster and harmonica player Horace Sprott was born February 2, 1890, the son of former slave Bessie Ford, and his surname was taken from the Sprott Plantation where he was born. He took up guitar and harmonica and was soon playing a mix of blues, work songs, spirituals, and old slave songs at local functions and parties in the area. Sprott reportedly got himself into some trouble, however, and ended up spending a stretch at a prison work farm in Montgomery. Folkways researcher Frederic Ramsey encountered Sprott in Marion, AL, in 1954, and impressed with the musician's varied repertoire, which included several a cappella set pieces, recorded him in seven sessions held in April and May of that year. These field recordings were edited down to form an LP, which was released in 1954 by Folkways Records. The album caused a brief stir in the folk world, and Sprott even ended up making an appearance on television for CBS in 1956, but a substantive career as a performer never really took shape, and Sprott drifted away into the haze of blues history, reportedly passing away in the early '90s.

The 12 Authors of Christmas - Marlo Schalesky
Tell us about your first Christmas memory?
I must have been about four years old. I remember running into the family room and seeing the presents under the tree. Later I unwrapped one for me – a black stuffed poodle that actually barked. It was wonderful. I had never seen anything so magnificent in all my life.
Of course, I don't have that poodle anymore. I don't even like poodles so much (being more of a boxer person ;-)), but I'll never forget that little black dog that barked.
(rh: Still, a great memory!)
Growing up, did your family have Christmas traditions? Tell us how you incorporated them into your family life. Or, how you created new ones.
My favorite Christmas memories (and tradition) from when I was a kid, is of getting up before dawn on Christmas morning, running to fireplace with my brother, getting all the stockings, and racing back to my parents' bed.
My mom was always awake and excited. My dad pretended to be sleepy and complained. Then, with lots of giggling and the thrill of anticipation, we'd pull out the gifts from our stockings one by one.
They were simple things, boring really - M&M's, a toothbrush, some silly plastic toy. Things that would be used up or forgotten in just a few short days. And yet, there was something special about being together, being happy, laughing, that makes those times such neat memories for me.
So, now of course, with kids of my own, stockings are a big deal. We open them first thing on Christmas morning, on our bed. And it's still just as fun as it used to be, even though I'm all grown up!
(rh: A lovely tradition and memory.)
When do you put up your tree? At my house, it goes up right after Thanksgiving. My husband works assembly and outside lights. I do the rest.
When I was growing up, a fun tradition was putting together the artificial tree together. But when I got married, my husband's tradition was going out to cut down a fresh tree from a Christmas tree farm the day after Thanksgiving.
We've been married for 19 years. And for 19 years we've cut down a tree after Thanksgiving, cleaned it, put it up, and spent the remaining weeks trying to keep it watered and cleaning up needles from the floor (oh, that was tons of fun last year when the twins were one and crawling around!)
But this year, something amazing happened. My hubby said on Thanksgiving day, "Maybe we should get a fake tree this year. They've got some really nice looking ones at Costco."
After picking my jaw up off the floor, I smiled and said, "Great idea. Maybe we should." And we did - the 9 ft. one with matching garland for our log staircase and rails. No watering. No needles. I am a happy woman. And it looks fantastic.
I also bought a pine-scented candle so the house smells like pine tree. The best of all worlds. Yay!
(rh: Great story, Marlo. We finally went "fake" a few years ago, too. Stringing lights got to me. I said, "Forget it, let's get a tree with lights already on it!" Plus, the expense of a real tree just didn't seem worth it.)
Describe the decorating at your house.
"No, no! Put it ON the tree. ON the tree. That's not for your mouth. Put it back. Don't hit your sister over the head with that. Ahhhh! That one's breakable. Give it to me. No, no, don't throw it. That's it. Here, this nice soft one is for you. No, not to eat … ON the tree."
(rh: ROFLOL!)
Explanation: Two-year-old twins, along with 2 older sisters, ages 4 and 7.
Decorating pretty much consists of putting all breakable ornaments way up high on the tree, and redecorating the bottom third with the "safe" ornaments about every half hour, as they remove them and hide them in odd places.
As for other decorations - nativities, little trees, old fashioned santas - all breakable ones on the mantle or the high shelf in the kitchen. Stuffed snowmen, dogs, etc., down to play with.
Also, a big hit is the Little People Nativity in a Christmas basket. Basket comes out every morning for play, back away every evening for a little bit of order for Mommy's sanity.
What is your favorite Christmas song or album? I grew up with a Johnny Mathis Christmas CD and it's still one of my favorites. My other is a copy of Mel Torme singing his "Christmas Song."
I love "We Will Find Him" on Michael Card's CD "The Promise: A Celebration of Christ's Birth (1991)".
But then, I'm a big Michael Card fan in general. Other than that, I love to hear Nat King Cole sing the old favorites like "O Come All Ye Faithful" (my favorite Christmas hymn), "O Little Town of Bethlehem," and "O Holy Night."
Seems to me snow and Christmas go together, but I've been a Florida girl for 33 years! Tell us about your Christmas setting?
Mid-California. No snow. Only fog. Lots of fog.
It's Christmas Eve, describe your day and evening.
Usually, we'd get together with my husband's family - parents, brothers, their wives, exchange gifts, eat soup (it's always soup!), and enjoy.
This year will be different, but just as fun. It'll just be us - Bryan and I and our four girls. We'll get to go our church's Christmas eve service, then come home for hot cocoa, cookies, and the opening of one gift (just one!)
I'm really looking forward to it!
(rh: The first Christmas Hubby and I stayed home without family felt strange in thought, but we really had a nice day!)
Confession time. Shop on line or at the mall?
Three words: Four. Little. Girls. And I've mentioned their ages already. So, as you can imagine, a trip to the mall spells n-i-g-h-t-m-a-r-e.
I shop online as much as possible, or even better, have my hubby shop on line.
Christmas grows more and more commercial every year. Setting the hustle and bustle aside, what does Christmas really mean to you?
Oh, I love Christmas! It's the most wonderful birthday party of all! The birthday of God incarnate, when the infinite God of the universe was born as a tiny baby in a stable. Wow! So, I love Santa Claus, because at Jesus' birthday we ought to have the best birthday clown ever.
(rh: ROFLOL! What a great observation!)
And who's better than a jolly guy in a red suit? I love the decorations, because Jesus's birthday party ought to have the most fantastic, sparkling, beautiful decorations of all.
I love the gift-giving, because what better way to celebrate the greatest gift of all than to be generous with others? I love the warmth, the laughter, the way people are kinder to others, give more, and get together to enjoy the season.
That's just "right" for a celebration of Jesus. So, to me, Christmas means that God loves me, loves us all, enough to do the crazy-impossible - to become one of us, to be born a baby, and to someday die on a cross and raise from the dead - all so we can be with him, forever.
So, that's Christmas to me - a celebration of the incredible love of a wondrous, vivid, breath-taking God.
It's Christmas day, what's for dinner? Do you make cookies or other traditional foods?
The most important thing, of course, is the Christmas sugar cookies. That's the big tradition at our house. Every year, all of us (yes, even the littlest ones), make and decorate Christmas cookies, from scratch.
(rh: My mom had a great sugar cookie recipe, too.)
We have cookies cutters in the shape of trees and fat Santas, stars and crosses, bells and gingermen. It's so fun to see the kids, their tongues sticking from the sides of their mouths as they work on frosting Santa's tummy.
Other than that, we like ham, bread, glorified rice (Bryan's mom makes that), corn and more cookies.
What are you plans for this season?
Ah, a simple Christmas this year, of enjoying the family, singing Christmas carols, having fun, and working on a big, fat marketing questionnaire that my editor just sent me for my next book. Hmmm, something here doesn't sound very Christmas-y. Let's go back to the cookies.
Any final thoughts on Christmas?
This year, I find I'm thinking a lot about the memories I'm making now - for my kids, for my hubby, for me. And I'm thinkin' that I don't want those memories to be ones of a Mom who's running around with too much to do and too little time to do it.
I don't want them to be of hustle, bustle, shopping, wrapping, cooking, cards, and gifts thrown under the tree. I don't even want them to be of the cool stable-and-horse set that my girls will unwrap on Christmas morning. Or the cheap kid's guitar for my oldest, or the new "ooo-ahh" (stuffed gorilla) for one of the twins.
'Cause toys break, get old, get lost, or they outgrow them. But they don't outgrow the happy memories of family times together. The memories of decorating Christmas cookies with laughter and joking - those don't get old.
The times we make a gingerbread house together, or sit down and watch the Grinch - those don't break. The simple things make the best memories. Times when we're together as a family, having fun, enjoying the traditions we're building together.
So, that's my goal this Christmas, to weave memories of peace, love, togetherness, because that's the best gift I can think of to celebrate Jesus's birth - Memories that bring a smile to the face of children and to the face of the King.
(rh: Great thoughts, Marlo. You are so right!)

great memories Marlo, we use to do the take the santa stocking into mum and dad also. (you know thinking back they were such early risers but had to stay in bed till we woke them up just thought of that)
I love the memories you are making. Christmas and cookie baking go hand in hand. we use to decorate ones but we make ones with a cookie press and ice them together and give to neighbours. I love eating the dough but i remember helping mum make them for years. it was a good memory. We also have the fake tree and its is much less messy and no ones alergic to it.
the decorating sounds really fun. but good memories.
thanks for the laugh and sharing with us.

Yep, I'm with you on the shopping, Marlo and I only have three girls!!

In the 10 years since I left my family I've often been confused about God, the Bible, spirituality, and everything that goes with it. It's not that I didn't want to believe. I did want to believe. The problem was that I couldn't believe most of the things I'd been taught because I felt so violated by those beliefs. What kind of God tells someone to beat someone? That didn't make sense to me.
Back then, my understanding of God was that He was sitting up there, waiting for me to do something that He could punish me for. He is righteous, holy and just, and He must deal with sin, unrighteousness and unholiness.
This picture is not untrue. It is merely unbalanced.
Because, in addition to God being righteous, holy and just, He is also loving, compassionate, gracious and merciful.
I remember being at Cru in college one day, and a group leader asked my group something about what the phrase "God is love" meant to us. A little light bulb turned on in my brain and I, going completely against my very quiet, very reserved personality, spoke up saying, "If God IS love, then if God were to stop loving anybody or anything for even a nanosecond, He would have to cease to exist."
I don't think anyone else had a clue what I was talking about, but that thought completely blew me away.
At that moment, my understanding of God switched from Him sitting up there, waving a big stick around, looking for someone to clobber. All of a sudden, the way I understood God allowed me to make mistakes and still approach Him without fear. God was suddenly compassionate. Full of grace. Merciful.
I love the following Psalm because it paints a picture of God as being a BIG, mighty God — where, when He does something, everybody notices — and yet, He is available to us, He is listening, and mostly, He is able and willing to rescue us. This is how He thinks toward us. This is how He responds to us. This is Who God is.
In my distress, I called to the Lord;
I cried to my God for help.
From his temple He heard my voice;
my cry came before Him, into His ears.
The earth trembled and quaked,
and the foundations of the mountains shook;
they trembled because He was angry.
Smoke rose from His nostrils;
consuming fire came from His mouth,
burning coals blazed out of it.
He parted the heavens and came down;
dark clouds were under His feet.
He mounted the cherubim and flew;
He soared on the wings of the wind.
He made darkness His covering, His canopy around Him–
the dark rain clouds of the sky.
Out of the brightness of His presence clouds advanced
with hailstones and bolts of lightning.
The Lord thundered from heaven;
the voice of the Most High resounded.
He shot His arrows and scattered the enemies,
great bolts of lightning and routed them.
The valleys of sea were exposed and the foundations of the earth laid bare
at your rebuke, oh Lord, at the blast of breath from your nostrils.
He reached down from on high and took hold of me;
He drew me out of deep waters.
He rescued me from my powerful enemy,
from my foes who were too strong for me.
They confronted me in the day of my disaster,
but the Lord was my support.
He brought me out into a spacious place;
He rescued me because He delighted in me.
Psalm 18:6-19

Protecting the election – an opportunity to play a key role
Dear James,
In the last two presidential elections, hundreds of thousands of voters–maybe millions–were blocked from voting or having their vote count. What we've experienced over the last 8 years is the result. We can't let that happen again.
Unequal distribution of voting machines caused long lines at the polls–especially in urban areas, including several with large Black populations. Voters had to wait for up to 10 hours, sometimes in the rain.1 Many walked away without voting, either out of frustration or because they couldn't wait any longer. With a huge number of new voters, it could be even worse this November.
Together, we can help fix this problem before election day.
We're recruiting an army of volunteers to find out where there might be problems and work to solve them ahead of time. You're one of our most committed and active members, and we really need your help. Participating won't take much of your time, and you'll be helping us create the most comprehensive map of voting infrastructure that's ever been created.
It's simple. We'll ask you to call an election official, ask some questions, then tell us what you heard. And we make it easy by giving you everything you need. Can you help?
In 2004, in Columbus, Ohio alone, between 5,000 and 15,000 voters left the polls without casting ballots.2 Voters in majority-Black neighborhoods in the city waited for hours, while voters in majority-white suburbs breezed in and out of polling places in about 15 minutes.3 Similar situations played out across the country that year, and again in 2006, with thousands of people prevented from voting in key swing states–enough to change the outcome of a close election.
In some places, long lines are a result of poor planning by election officials. In others, they're a result of deliberate manipulation by partisan election officials trying to affect the outcome–one tactic that's used to suppress votes.
In both cases, we can address this problem before the election by making sure election officials know we're watching. With your help, we'll identify areas where there are likely to be long lines, and hold officials accountable for preventing them. If they're not planning well enough, we'll try to get them the resources they need. And if it seems they're operating in bad faith, we'll shine a spotlight on them and make sure they don't get away with it.
But we can't do it without you. Please join us–you'll be our eyes and ears in an unprecedented grassroots effort to monitor the election and protect voting rights:

Election 2008: Tookit for AIDS Community Voters and Non-Profits!
Dear James M,
Join the Call for a National AIDS Strategy!

Communities with low voting rates – including people of color and low-income communities — are also disproportionately affected by HIV.
We can change this! All organizations, including non-profit organizations, can legally register and turn out voters for elections.
This is a non-partisan and simple activity that any organization can do!
On behalf of the Campaign for a National AIDS Strategy, CHAMP has helped to create a Voter Registration / Get Out the Vote Toolkit that any organization can use to get your staff, clients, and community members registered, and to make sure that they are able to vote.
We hope you find these materials useful.
Many state deadlines for registration and/or absentee ballots are coming soon — so please act now to ensure that we do all we can to get out the vote in our communities.

Jim Crow is Back
Dear James,
Jim Crow is back.https://lwv.simpledonate.org/appeal.aspx?PID=&CID=EC0059&FNAME=James&SOURCE=EN0910TR&HPC=25&F=2
The sinister spirit of hateful Jim Crow laws, established in the previous century to keep African Americans in the South from voting, is resurfacing across the country. A new generation of partisan special interests is working to disenfranchise people they view as a threat to their political power in the 2008 elections.
That is why I am writing to you with great urgency and asking you to help us fight back against this assault on our democracy by joining the League of Women Voters, with a gift of $25, $35, $55 or more today.
It is critical for the League — as the number one advocate for your voting rights — to take immediate action to ensure the integrity of your vote and the 2008 elections.
So I'm reaching out to citizens like you all across the country because at this very moment, some politicians are engaged in an orchestrated, election year effort to cut many Americans out of the democratic process. In Congress, state legislatures, and at the local level, the powers that be are attempting to pass discriminatory laws that require voters to show photo identification at the polls. And now the U.S. Supreme Court has joined in these efforts, with its recent decision to uphold Indiana's blatantly discriminatory voter ID law.
Heralded by its supporters as a much-needed defense against voter fraud, the photo ID requirement is the 21st century version of Jim Crow.
With the 2008 elections looming, only the League has the independence, credibility, and grassroots strength to take on the entrenched political interests that are trying to hijack the election process for their own partisan ends.
Our opponents will only succeed if people of principle like you and me sit on the sidelines and let them win. It's time to put Jim Crow back where he belongs — in the history books. Please help the League get the job done by becoming part of the League of Women Voters today.
Mary G. Wilson
President, LWVUS
P.S. By becoming part of the League of Women Voters today, you will send a powerful message to the powerbrokers and government insiders who are working to manipulate the vote for partisan gain. Please join today!

Family remittances from migrant workers in the US are expected to decrease by at least US$2.5 billion during the coming year, a decline of almost 10% over 2008, according to Treasury Secretary Agustin Carstens. "We are entering a much more complicated period than we expected," said the normally upbeat Carstens during testimony before the Senate. Family remittances are the main source of financial support for more than 10% of Mexican families.
Negotiators failed to reach an agreement in the six week teachers strike in Morelos that has kept most of the state's public schools from opening. More than 20,000 of the state's 25,000 teachers are on strike, demanding an end to the Alliance for Quality Education (ACE) signed in May by President Felipe Calderon and Elba Esther Gordillo, "permanent president" of the National Union of Education Workers (SNTE). Teachers object to provisions in the ACE that violate their labor rights, including mandatory periodic evaluations. Many current teachers either bought their positions from previous teachers or inherited them from family members, and the ACE would prohibit these kinds of hereditary transactions. Given the high levels of unemployment in Mexico and the highly politicized nature of evaluations, teachers are concerned about the stability of their positions, especially those who oppose the virtual dictatorship exercised by Gordillo over the 1.3 million member union. Gordillo is closely allied with Calderon and was probably responsible for a good deal of the electoral fraud that brought the current president to power. The ACE would increase her already powerful control over Latin America's largest union. Teachers in Morelos have taken the lead in challenging the ACE, but many teachers around the country are opposed to the plan and to Gordillo's increasingly corrupt and problematic control of the union. On Tuesday, thousands of teachers from six states participated in marches, meetings and building occupations in opposition to Gordillo, the ACE and last year's privatization of much of the Social Security Institute for State Workers (ISSSTE). On Saturday, the National Coordinator of Education Workers (CNTE), a dissident faction of the teacher's union, called for a national conference to overturn the ACE.
The Federal Attorney General signaled this week that members of the Popular Assembly of the People of Oaxaca (APPO) will be charged in the murder of US journalist Brad Will. Will died in October 2006 during confrontations between the APPO and paramilitary forces aligned with Governor Ulises Ruiz. Will was videotaping at the time of his death and recorded paramilitaries firing weapons in his direction. But the Attorney General claims Will was short at close range, less than two feet, by members of the APPO. Photos taken of a shirtless Will immediately after he was shot show only one bullet wound in the stomach area, yet the Attorney General claims a bullet wound discovered later on his right side was the cause of death.
In a surreal action that likely left Mexico's organized crime bosses chuckling, 300 heavily armed Federal Preventative Police (PFP) raided the Mexico City offices of the Federal Agency of Investigation (AFI, the rough equivalent of the FBI) on Thursday. AFI agents engaged in a series of increasing public protests this week claiming labor rights violations and objecting to their imminent transfer to the PFP. Since the beginning of his sexenio, President

Hillary in Sharp "Right" Turn!Ms. Clinton, appearing before a group yesterday Read It Here (Tip from Drudge) , invoked the word "God" at least six times. In a move which appears to me aimed at getting to the right of President Bush and the GOP, the oft-rumored (he he) DEMO candidate for President in 2008, seems to be the only member of her party recognizing that such a right turn is mandatory to place her in the mainstream of actual voters.
Of course, her position could be enhanced by Bill's involvement compatible with her new position....after all he is experienced in the laying-on of hands!

Oh how I love my Kenna. She is quite the girl. I know I talked her up for her birthday post, but I love these pictures of her because it shows her playful, sly, funny personality
75 % of the time Kenna is looking at us just like this!
She walked out of the room wearing boots and wanting to go outside to play in the snow (to her credit she was just starting to get dressed but I thought it hilarious that she put the boots on first). Love that girl!

And here is a balloon dragon
Wednesday, March 13, 2013
No excuse for waiting so long to post these, but my oldest brother and I went as steampunk pirates for a day during Gen Con. We ran into another pirate so we had a bit of a photo shoot. My brother was my lackey. He made his gun (which was really awesome), and I helped with the clothing part. I already had my corset, which has a bustle on the back, since my first Gen Con. I bought the white shirt from Forever21. The hat was plain, by I added the gold piping, the feathers and the medallions. My mom bought some fashion key necklaces which I am also wearing. I bought brown gloves and added the lace to create a gauntlet. The khaki skirt came from Goodwill. I hemmed it and added the ribbon pick ups. I also added a short petticoat underneath. The thigh high stockings came from http://www.clockworkcouture.com . My boots are something I wear as an everyday item. I picked them up from Boston store on super clearance. Overall, I am really happy how this turned out. I wish I had added more metal pieces to it, but this was a last minute costume which was so much fun to walk around in.

Jerri loved to learn new things and was never afraid to take on a new task. Here she is with fellow 6-pack quilters, Molly and Rhonda, try to figure out 'something' on the computer.
One of our retreats was on Halloween weekend. Of course, being Wacky the way we are, we had to have some ghoulish times. Here is a picture of the "Wacky 6-Pack" in our crazy glasses.
Back to the quilting cruise, Jerri made each of us some Wacky Glasses to wear. We chose one of our "formal dinner nights" to wear the glasses. Here is Jerri modeling hers! We were quite the "hit" on this cruise. They say on every cruise, there is usually one group to watch -- we were the group!!!!
Not long after my Mother died (she was also a quilter), one of my Mama's friends invited me to go on a quilting retreat and told me to bring a friend. The theme was "YaYa Quilters". Here is a picture of Jerri and I in our "YaYa" attire.

I've been sewing new curtains for my living room makeover project that is slowly progressing. I borrowed a machine from my friend as I don't have one of my own (which is why I dream up these projects. Obviously, if I had my own machine I'd never think about sewing anything ever!) I quickly realized that this machine was not going to happily sew over my pins, especially not with the thin see-through material I am using. Not thinking ahead I didn't get anything to hold the material in place for sewing without the pins so I've resorted to pulling the pins out before they hit the pressure foot.
After the first 53" decorative stitch run in which I had placed my pin box behind my machine (and missed mostly as I slid pins out of the way). I did some dreaming about magnets and ways to attract the pins to my little box. I like keeping the pins in the box. It's just so handy to put the lid on and even though I have both made my own pin cushion and used a store bought tomato, I prefer the box. Maybe I'm just weird. Anyway at first I thought it would be great to put a box sized refrigerator magnet in the box. Just enough magnetic force to keep the pins from going everywhere each time I "spill" it. Then I thought wouldn't it be cool to make it a small electromagnet?
Sadly, I have a battery shortage or so it seems and I did not trick out my inexpensive box with a sweet pin attracting electromagnetic bottom, although the principles of making electromagnets really aren't that complicated and a watch battery (or similar) would work wonderfully. I did, however; ask my oldest daughter for a refrigerator magnet to help clean up the pins I'd sprayed everywhere in my rush to get them out and away while pulling material through. She brought me the biggest magnet she could find.
Now I admit it, I like magnets. I think every metal surface should be decorated in magnets. I have a magnet from every place my husband and I traveled in our pre-children days (and since we've only gone to visit relatives since, I pretty much have magnets for everywhere we've gone together.) I also have a bunch of the magnetic poetry stuff (my college studio had metal cabinets in the kitchen area - I loved those cabinets, I loved that studio!) I also collect magnets at all the stupid little events we go to. The one my daughter brought me was a massive safe routes to school magnet that was a full 10" long and 4" high.
It was absolutely wonderful for dragging across the table and in the carpet to pick up stray pins. To keep the rebound down I placed my super magnet behind my machine (under my pin box) and let it keep the pins from wandering as I slid them off the sewing machine. Yay! Pin clean up time has been brought down to nill, I just pick up the magnet and slide the contents into my box. I'd still like to try my electromagnet, but I'll take it! I hate digging pins out of the carpet. I don't care how big of a head they stick on them I still have to find them with my feet!
I have two of the see-through curtains finished and only the tops and bottoms of the other two left to do. There is a good chance my scarf material will be arriving on Wednesday and then I can sew that up and I'll have a wall worth looking at, of course I still want to paint, but the ceiling needs sheet-rock and my mother-in-law will be visiting soon, so those projects may be put on hold until summer is more firmly here. We definitely want to be able to open the windows for the sheet-rock. Full project photos will be forth-coming! I did take one before shot of a window and will take some "in progress" shots soon. Maybe we can put up a poll so you all can help me chose the eventual wall colors, hmmm....

You would love the pin cushion that I have...it's one big, really strong magnet! http://www.wardrobesupplies.com/store/media/GB.jpg I should get you one. :)ReplyDelete
My husband made a sewing supply run (some of my sewing supplies didn't survive the puppy that helped with the Halloween cloak project), yesterday and bought me a heart shaped magnet one. It's not bad. I'm not sure if I'll want to keep the pins on it when not in use though.ReplyDelete

Wow....That Was Awkward/
One of the more awkward moments happened in the Trump campaign yesterday and Brian Williams was involved.
MSNBC was covering another Donald Trump stumping speech (shocking right?) and Brian Williams was handling the coverage. While Trump was blasting Hillary Clinton for lying, he said,"Hillary Clinton who, as most people know, is a world-class liar — just look at her pathetic email server statements, or her phony landing. Or her phony landing in Bosnia where she said she was under attack and the attack turned out to be young girls handing her flowers, a total . . . and self-serving lie. Brian Williams's career was destroyed for saying less — just remember that."
Trump wrapped up his speech and it cut back to Brian Williams.
Williams talked about what Trump had just said, but for some strange reason, he left out the part about him.
Go figure....

I do not know where I am. Finished Hape's book as I said I would. And his final insights have been helpful. The one that I have to look at today is this: You don't know how your journey will play out, or what you will have learned until you reach the end of the journey.
And the journey's end is different for everyone. For hundreds of thousands of people the journey ends with a reception of the Universe's choice in Santiago. Some people died on the Camino and their journey can be anywhere on the 300+ mile route. Others will reach a post site, collect their last stamp for the pilgrim's passport and go to bed only to realize the next morning that they are done. And for others the journey won't end until they are home. There were many places in which he thought that would not be able to continue. There were places where he was lost and it scared him or lost and he didn't care.
I am lost and scared on this leg of my journey. This is a process in which I have to purge pain. It is a place in which I am injured and have to stop because I did not stop when the injury happened. I wanted to be right, and be able to be proud of my accomplishments and I want to keep setting goals. The problem is that I have to do it with a team that doesn't want to keep doing more. And today it became apparent that no matter what I have said, the work that I have done really has gone unnoticed while the slander against me has been aided.
I've been crying since I got home and I am not 100% sure why. I am hurt. It's been a long time since I have had support during these times and in this kind of situation I find myself in. Just like on the Camino, when I needed help it came. Tow women that I work with took up a chorus of support. And not to take my side but because it is right. And without knowing any of the details of my difficulty. It could not come at a better time today. So I am crying in part because I've gone on too long without having done so? Or because I got the support I needed and wasn't sure would come? Ever. And in part because..... I am close to an end but not the end I would have chose?
I don't know. I can't say for sure until I get to the next phase and see what is there.

Here's the story of how Mario (Chalmers) slayed Bowser (Carlos Arroyo) to save the Princess (aka take over as the starting PG for the Heat)…
… sorry.
Anyhow, you probably heard things all week long about how it was "a difficult decision" and that Arroyo wasn't doing anything wrong. That's partially true. Chalmers and Arroyo aren't that much different, in terms of overall impact on a game. Both can play the part and are complete non-factors when it comes to the Heat "offense" when things get tight. However, Chalmers is capable of doing one thing that Arroyo has yet to have shown:
Left him laying there, humiliated. Jose had to sit for a few and then get up and hobble around all over the place. Whether his ankle was actually hurt or not is irrelevant because both scenarios are embarassing:
A) You are faking an ankle injury as some sort of attempt to save face, or…
B) You just legitimately hurt your ankle as the result of a Mario Chalmers jab-step.
Either way, the whole place was disgusted. His teammates sort of gather around, secretly laughing on the inside. Hell, go back and watch as Calderon accidentally brushes a Heat employee (at about 26 seconds in), and she gives him a look like, "Bitch, please."
That's the real truth. As a bonus, on that very same night, Chris Paul killed THE ADULTERER, Tony Parker, with a wicked crossover:
I don't know what CP3 said right afterwards, but I'm guessing it was, "… that was for BRENT BARRY, you FRENCH SCOUNDREL."
