Rule #1: Cardio.

With the upcoming presidential elections looming ever closer, we as a nation have been taking a lot of time scrutinizing the issues at hand; the economy, foreign policies, immigration, the middle east, gay marriage, and for some reason Sesame Street is now an important factor in determining who to vote for....
     Facebook has become a veritable battle ground for would-be political debaters. I personally find that keeping my opinion off of facebook helps me to maintain my ever-dwindling sanity (not to mention many of my friends).  However, I have noticed in the past few months that a very important issue has been blatantly, if not purposely, ignored. I for one find myself VERY concerned with this particular topic and would repeal my personal rule to keep political opinions off of facebook in order to discuss the ever growing threat to ALL political parties. If we are to be a nation OF the people, well then we all need to be concerned with raising awareness for......

ZOMBIES.

Yes, the growing zombie threat is one that our country's leaders are ignoring to our GREAT detriment. I believe that the zombie apocalypse is closer at hand than any of us would like to think about and the time has come to draw awareness to this issue and prepare ourselves accordingly!

Lets look at the facts:

1.) Zombies are dead, and gross, and scary.

2.) A Zombie's only desire is to kill you and eat your brain and/or infect you (though, on second thought they probably don't really have 'desires' being zombies and all)

3.) Zombies probably smell really bad (you know, because of the whole 'dead' thing).

4.) According to a handful of zombie movies (or as I like to call them, 'Important study materials') zombies might be able to run, which quite frankly, is scary as %$*#.

And finally,

5.)  This article.

There are many important measures that ought to be taken into consideration by ALL citizens of the United States who do not wish to become zombies, or zombie food. I will support any candidate who can appropriately present a platform that will help this country prepare for the impending zombie apocalypse. 

I feel that this is TRULY an important issue and I want to see it addressed ASAP!

Also I am pretty sure the majority of Congress are already zombies.

Working Girl.

 It is now October  and I haven't updated since the end of May. I think that may be a manifestation of my deep and abiding hatred of Summer.
Okay, I don't hate ALL of it, just most of it, like 98% of it. The time between June and October seems unnecessary to me . Sure it's broken up by a couple of sporadically 'fun' days; Independence day is alright with the barbecue and fireworks, Andrew's birthday on July 23rd (He is FOUR now!!), and I like swimming before the pools start feeling like bathtubs but that's really it. Because 'summer' really starts in late April/early May in southeast Texas and summer in southeast Texas means constant heat and humidity, and I am over it by June.
Anyways, My summer so far:
                    1.)  Apparently I am addicted. To running. All the time. I find myself unbalanced and off if I don't. I never had this issue before, indeed I used to HATE running and now, well now I need it. It doesn't make any sense whatsoever, because I DO hate the summer, and the heat but somehow I still find myself running in it for five miles every day and do in fact feel really good afterwords. I guess there are worse things to be addicted to.
                   2.) My kids are awesome.

Do I really need to elaborate further?

                     3.) I acquired employment. Yep, I got a job. My 'official' title is "foodserver" at Chili's. All I really do though, is ask people which kind of baby-back ribs they want, or which kind of Chicken crispers they want.

Admit it though; despite the generic "bathroom-pic"
quality, you'd still want me to take your order ;)

That's pretty much it for my summer.

No really, it was THAT boring. Sorry I don't have more to tell but between learning the difference between a 'presidente margarita' and a 'PLATINUM presidente margarita' (one is more expensive)  and trying to avoid eating all the tostada chips I didn't do much. Now that it's officially autumn though (YAY!!!) I should have more motivation to blog stuff!

 If not, there are always about 350 pictures of my kids on my iPhone!
