Happy Birthday!!!!

Have a good one Connie

don't screw it up.

as much as i am happy about a changing of the guard, i just hope something good can come of it.

in local news people are to tight fisted to let kids have a place to swim, people have deluded themselves into thinking that a township can pull the troops out of Iraq, and people have decided to issue more muni bonds to fix up the local forest preserve. Also, mr. rat was re-elected governor, but whatever....

and while more and more states have banned same sex marriage... a subject i believe the state shouldn't have say in (as the issue appears to be religious and therefore should be kept separate), it seems min wage has been increased in the states that it was an issue. perhaps we are on our way to getting closer to a living wage for people?

Have you voted today?

Every one should vote and if they don't then they can't complain about how things are going. That is what I usually believe, but what if both of the candidates disgust you so much you would rather make a statement by supporting neither of them? Well many of the people I know are not voting this time around as the big race around here is for governor and it is a rat vs a shrew. not a very exciting thing. As I am a mostly liberal thinking person and I live in Dupage County land of wealthy whites ages 45-65 i doubt anyone cares what I think about our rep. and the race for treasurer is pretty filthy too. However i must go and vote for the new pool. esp since i will most likely not be paying the tax levied, but i do believe that if children have public pool access they have a much higher chance of learning how to swim.

in other news lost has its final episode of this mini season tomorrow. how exciting! Heroes is getting good and interesting. is radioactive man good or bad? what is the little boy's powers? and how does saving the cheerleader save the world?

fun

this weekend was overall a great one (cept for the ending, but we'll get there later)

friday night i finally converted bill into a merrell wearer.

saturday...

lunch with the uc crew at
it was fun and i think we over stayed our welcome.....

yes this is was we highly educated twenty-somethings do when let to dine a a nice place....


Later that night we went and saw Borat with a subsection of the lunchers.


Yesterday my good friend Carolyn was passing through chicago on her way to her favorite airport with bf Chris. It was nice to see here and good to finally meet Chris. we ate at orange on harrison and it was a pretty yummy experience.

Unfortunately, mr. bill some how injured his back at some point in the morning and is now in tons of pain. {{goodvibe}} get well soon mr. bill.

wannabe

so i wanna be like rj and post the random pics that i take....

This is a picture of Bill's office from my office. I take this picture often and send it to bill. In it you can also see my plant that i cannot kill and has grown too big for its pot.

So to keep up with the visitors program, Carolyn and her bf are going to be out here for the ND game and we are going to have brunch with them on sunday. and LJ is back in town this weekend so we will see her and the UC crew on saturday.

upcoming visitors..... mom and bobby for thanksgiving, and maybe i can get my newly relocated uncle chris to visit some time soon.
