More painting. This the before of the dining room wall.

File: Good Blogkeeping

Just updated the links to the left, including my current reads. Wow, I read 11 titles so far this month. Three things you can tell about me from my recent reading list:

1. I went to Florida.
2. I'm an obsessive planner.
3. I use my vacation time to read, read, read.

File: Love

Matt is going for a run, but post-sunblock, his wedding ring felt too loose for him. So, he took it off. Then he felt weird about leaving the house without a sign he was married.

So, he gave himself a wedding ring using marker. What a cutie.

Goodbye, Florida, Goodbye.

Put that in your damn blog! Travis, as pictured here with my head and a quarter of Matt's face, has been enjoying the minutia of my blog. Especially the step-by-step basement painting. We met with him at Downtown Disney for dinner. He took us to this great Cuban restaurant called Bongos. It was great to see him. And now, he's famous* via the interweb.

*By famous, I mean not famous at all.

Epcot! I heart Spaceship Earth!

Yeah, ok, Disney has the mountains, the castle, and the ears, but I come to the mouse for one thing: TURKEY LEG! Here, Matt attempts to conquer mine.

We are here!

File: Barack Obama

I know I've posted before about how Barack Obama is a great presidential candidate and why we should all vote for him.

Here's another reason:

Barack Obama is giving back $50,000 in campaign contributions because they came from lobbyists.

What politician gives money back? This man is serious about wanting to change Washington. Refusing lobbyists' contributions is a great first step. It shows that the Obama campaign puts its money where its mouth is. I respect that a lot.

I just donated another $50 to his campaign because of it. You can donate to the Obama '08 campaign, too. Or, show your support in other ways. I repeat it again: Barack for President!

File: Food

Matt makes acorn squash. Mmm mmm good.

File: Snow

Not sure if you can see this or not, but it is snowing. Stupid Chicago. Stupid, stupid. I demand spring!
