My sister in law sent me this email and I couldn't agree more...

THIS IS SO INCREDIBLY WELL PUT AND I CAN HARDLY BELIEVE
IT'S BY A YOUNG PERSON, A STUDENT!!! WHATEVER HE RUNS FOR, I'LL VOTE FOR HIM.

Dear American liberals, leftists, social progressives, socialists, Marxists and Obama supporters,

We have stuck together since the late 1950's, but the whole of this latest election process has made me realize that I want a divorce. I know we tolerated each other for many years for the sake of future generations, but sadly, this relationship has run its course. Our two ideological sides of America cannot and will not ever agree on what is right so let's just end it> on friendly terms. We can smile and chalk it up to irreconcilable differences and go our own way.

Here is a model separation agreement:
Our two groups can equitably divide up the country by landmass each taking a portion. That will be the difficult part, but I am sure our two sides can come to a friendly agreement. After that, it should be relatively easy!

Our respective representatives can effortlessly divide other assets since both sides have such distinct and disparate tastes.

We don't like redistributive taxes so you can keep them.

You are welcome to the liberal judges and the ACLU.

Since you hate guns and war, we'll take our firearms, the cops, the NRA and the military.

You can keep Oprah, Michael Moore and Rosie O'Donnell (You are, however,> responsible for finding a bio-diesel vehicle big enough to move all three of them).

We'll keep the capitalism, greedy corporations, pharmaceutical companies, Wal-Mart and Wall Street. You can have your beloved homeless, homeboys, hippies and illegal aliens.

We'll keep the hot Alaskan hockey moms, greedy CEO's and rednecks.

We'll keep the Bibles and give you NBC and Hollywood.

You can make nice with Iran and Palestine and we'll retain the right to invade and hammer places that threaten us.

You can have the peaceniks and war protesters. When our allies or our way of life are under assault, we'll help provide them security.

We'll keep our Judeo-Christian values.. You are welcome to Islam, Scientology, Humanism and Shirley McClain.

You can also have the U.N.. but we will no longer be paying the bill.

We'll keep the SUVs, pickup trucks and oversized luxury cars. You can take every Subaru station wagon you can find.

You can give everyone healthcare if you can find any practicing doctors. We'll continue to believe healthcare is a luxury and not a right.

We'll keep The Battle Hymn of the Republic and the National Anthem. I'm sure you'll be happy to substitute Imagine, I'd Like to Teach the World to Sing, Kum Ba Ya or We Are the World.

We'll practice trickle down economics and you can give trickle up poverty your best shot.

Since it often so offends you, we'll keep our history, our name and our flag.

Would you agree to this? If so, please pass it along to other like minded liberal and conservative patriots and if you do not agree, just hit delete.

In the spirit of friendly parting, I'll bet you ANWAR which one of us will need whose help in 15 years.

Sincerely,
John J. Wall
Law Student and an American

P.S. Also, please take Barbara Streisand & Jane Fonda with you.

Confession Time

I love the show on Bravo "Real Housewives of New York"
Cory hates this about me so I have to DVR it and watch it when he isn't around. I have always loved everything "New York"...I would love to visit again someday. This show is funny, dramatic, and jaw dropping. I definitely recommend it if you are into reality TV. It comes on Tuesday nights on Bravo around 10 I think.

Confession

Confession.....I LOVE the Jonas Brothers, I know I am too old to be saying this about them, but YUM! I can see now why people compare them to the Beatles, they are so captivating, and there music is SO happy, it makes me smile :)

25 Random things about me

I have also seen this going around on facebook, Ali and Becca brought it to the blog, so I guess I will partake.

1. I am becoming very annoyed/tired of facebook, people update their status everytime they blink.

2. I love holding my girl dog, Charlie, like an infant baby; if I had a rocking chair I would rock her.

3. I love the smell of my dogs' faces, and rubbing my nose to theirs'.

4. I love boy names for girls (which is why Charlie is Charlie).

5. My husband proposed to me half naked, which is SO Cory and I love it.

6. I don't like walking around barefoot, must have socks.

7. I LOVE seeing my dog Chase's nub tail wag, just knowing he is happy gives me one of the best feelings in the world. Cory and I ALWAYS point out to eachother when it wags. (Most Bostons don't have tails).

8. I hate the side profile of my face.

9. I love eating plain pasta while cooking an italian meal, it grosses Cory out - that and cake batter.

10. I love picking out and giving Cory gifts - anything to see those dimples when he smiles.

11. I don't like to read.

12. I love receiving flowers.

13. I drink way too much soda and not near enough water.

14. I have lived in my house for almost 8 months and still have not decorated.

15. I am very hot-natured, and can't stand to sweat unless I am working out.

16. Swimsuit season stresses me out more than anything....especially this year since I will be a whale.

17. I can't stand football...ok not the actual sport, but the hype that surrounds it and how it RUNS peoples' lives from August to January...and makes grown up men get into fights (drunk men). - I mean come on! Grow up!

18. I need a maid/cleaning service, but Cory won't let me hire one. I don't like cleaning bathrooms and cleaning floors, etc...so obviously it doesn't get done often enough.

19. I get carsick pretty easily, always have.

20. I hope my baby has Cory's beautiful brown eyes.

21. I constantly worry about Cory's safety, he is on the road A LOT.

22. I don't think I could ever get tired of watching Sex and the City, everyone who knows me will agree.

23. I love bad weather, not that it can bring harm to people but the science of it, its fascinating.

24. I love being sunburned just a little to have some color.

25. The best moment of my life was also on the worst day of my life- when we were told that there may be something wrong with our baby - the Dr. left us alone for a bit and I cried, and Cory just hugged me and told me that this is OUR baby and we would love it no matter what. And I felt so lucky to have such a sweet man to share my life with, and knew that we would be ok.

My new look

So I got my hair cut short the other day. I like it so far, still learning how to fix it. I typically like my hair long but these days I can't get up in time to fix long hair, I have fallen into a rut of wearing in a wet pony tail to work. So I needed something to get me excited about fixing it again.

Back from Christmas!

We started our own traditions this year since it was our 1st Christmas in our house. On Christmas Eve, Cory and I ate cinnamon rolls for breakfast, watched Christmas movies all day and decorated a Gingerbread house. We also made Christmas shaped cookies. It was nice, I can't wait until our little one is here! Then we visited my sisiter, Scott and Andrew on Christmas Day- Cory fell in love with guitar hero and now realtes every song we hear to that game. Then to Berry then to C-ville. The baby racked up on gifts too, my mom got some pacifiers, a Christmas outfit for next year, a little stuffed lamb, and some cloth diapers that she will have monogrammed later on. Cory's mom gave us some bibs, Caroline and Scott gave us some money, Becca gave us a book, and Misty and Shawn gave us a Christmas baby blanket. I didn't expect all of that, but it was a nice surprise! We also racked up on Home Depot gift certificates so we will be able to do some work to fix up our house. I didn't get any pics of Andrew; we were so preoccupied with Charlie escaping from the deck, I forgot to bring my camera in, so I am hoping my sis will post one.

This is Alivia in here little Denim jacket we got for her:
