Until the election.  I’ve been super busy helping out, and homework, and everything else. I’m looking forward to November 5th.  It will be interesting to see what happens.  I think it will be close.  The polls show it’s tightening, but I don’t always believe the polls.  I missed the Obama informerical tonight.  I thought it was on at 8, but it was really 7.  Whoops.

I’ve had many thoughts about the election coming up.  If anyone believes Pelosi when she says “if the Democrats win, and have substantial majorities, Congress of the United States will be more bipartisan” I’d like to sell you some ocean front property here in Blaine.  The Obama tax plan scares me, and I know I’ll pay more and I make way less than $250,000.  With all of his talk of redistributing the wealth it’s clear he’s not holding the same American values that I hold.

But enough with the political rant.

School is picking up.  Pretty much starting on the 5th I’ve got to start my two final papers.  Both of those will take a while, since it’s 30 page papers.  But hopefully things will be alright.  I’m not overly worried.

The house stuff is kind of at a standstill.  We were hoping to redo some of the floors in the bedrooms and perhaps some of the downstairs.  But the new furnace took care of those plans.

We had a nice weekend get away earlier this month.  It was a lot of fun, and it was nice to just get away.  I wish we could do that more often.  We have some pictures, and I’ll try to get some up soon.

With that I’ll bid you ado, likely until November 5th.

The new Google Phone is coming out in a few days.  I’ve read a few reviews of it.  I think it looks interesting.  Because it’s Google it has all of the Googly goodness.  Contact Sync, Calendar Sycn, etc.  Push email and everything else.  It looks like a good phone.

The one problem with it, to me, is that it’s on T-Mobile.  My house is in a dead spot almost for them.  I kind of want the iPhone because it’s an Apple product.  The ATT service is great at home, and works in the LP.

So to my friends who currently have T-Mobile go out and get the G1!  And tell me how you like it!

I’m taking a few moments to update ya’ll on what’s going on.

Currently I’m sitting at a nice table looking out our 5th floor window from a great resort in Wisconsin Dells.  It’s a super nice place.  They gave us an upgrade for the room, which is really sweet.  So we’re spending the next few days in living like this.  Our room has a good view of the river, and it’s a great place to sit and drink a morning cup of coffee. Also, all-inclusive is the way to go!

So that’s where we are for the next few days.  Hope everyone is having fun, beceause we sure are!

are in order to The Gerdin’s!  They got married yesterday.  It was a great ceremony about the Lord of the Rings (sersiouly, it worked well).  I was honored to be a part of it.  I’m very happy for the two of them and wish them the best!

So that took most of my weekend. But it was a lot of fun.  Today was homework, which I got a lot done for.  We’re about the midway point of the quarter, and I’m starting my two 30 page papers that are due in 6 weeks.  I figure if I start now I can get them done without having to cram it into the last 2 weeks of class.

We got the new furnace put in last week.  So it’s nice to have heat again!  We had to have a fire in the fireplace one night last week to get some heat in here.  That was kind of fun actually.  I need to bring some of the firewood into the garage so we can have more fires this winter.  There’s nothing like having a fire in the fireplace.  I really enjoy it.

In case your wondering, here’s the countdowns:
Election Day: 30
Austin get’s an iPhone: 32

And now it’s time to enjoy some warm, fresh from the oven Apple Crisp.  Yum!
