Hillary for President


This was our view of the former president at a stump speech he gave Monday night on the University campus for his wife's campaign.

He was amazing. And again, our family got a little personal recognition where Mr. Clinton was concerned. He was in the midst of a passionate bit about the state of the nation's educational system and asked a powerful rhetorical question.

To which Henry, while perched on his daddy's shoulder, answered with a resounding,, "Yep!"

Even though the answer should have been "No" and technically he was heckling, everyone in the room giggled. I think even Mr. Prez. The lady next to me asked if we'd been coaching him. I'm glad he didn't launch into his "I approved this message" schtick.

At any rate, long story short, we are now a house-somewhat-divided. There's a yard sign out front promoting Hillary, and I've promised her people I will caucus for her on Jan. 3.

Even after the football chat with Bill and Henry in the spotlight at the rally, Tim's still undecided. Well, he's undecided about the election. He's quite certain that I will be harassing him without mercy between now and the caucus to come join Team Hillary.

You haven't escaped, either. For more information, visit www.hillaryclinton.com.

So I'm just wondering, will you be voting for Hillary Clinton, or her husband?

I'll be voting for Hillary. But only because the law doesn't allow Bill to run for a third term. Sad, isn't it.

Seriously, I'm voting for Hillary because of the three candidates with any sort of a chance in Iowa, she's the one with the most experience, the one with the most sincerity, and the first woman in history to ever have any sort of chance at leading our nation.

Hair

This has become the age-old question...Why do men hate short hair on women? I've been thinking about this a lot because my current style, an angled bob, requires a bunch of fussing every morning to get it to do anything. My favorite haircut of all time, as far as ease of care, was my pixie cut. I loved that I could wash it, gel it, and be done. No blow drying or flattening or curling. Just gel and go. Very sporty. I thought it looked cute. My husband has another opinion. The longer the better is his motto. Thing is, my hair becomes an unruly, tangled, nappy mop when it gets long. If I had all the time in the world and Jennifer Aniston's budget, I'd be more than happy to grow it long and have others style it every day. In real life, I guess I'd rather go for comfort and convenience. And if you ask me, I think the pixie is dang cute. I suspect heterosexual men aren't hot on short hair, in general, because it's too much like their own hair. No matter how much jewel

Ho, Ho, Ho, How Many Times Can I Use "I'm too busy" as an Excuse?

I haven't had time to write. Work, swim meet volunteering, holiday decorating and shopping. But truthfully, I've not been in much of a mood to write anything anyway. Last night we put up the tree and Santa chachkies, and I drank my first egg nog of the season, so perhaps I'll be in a cheerier mood. Also, I have spent some time writing the annual Schoon holiday newsletter. If you happen to get a copy, treat it like a drinking game. Every time I make you roll your eyes, take a drink. Nog, wassail, Everclear. Whatever gets you through. One sure way to assist with merriment motivation is listening to Christmas carols. I'm not going to get into a debate over what truly constitutes a carol. You can "Jesus is the reason for the season" yourself until you turn blue; I generally lean toward the secular end of the holiday tune spectrum. And if you just gasped at my use of holiday instead of Christmas, go suck on a candy cane. It's my blog and my opinions. Deal.
