i am still alive!

When so much time goes by between posting, I feel like I should write something that will change the world forever. Like I've been taking this month off to solve the financial crisis. Or I've been preparing for my next career as Car Czar. Or I've been cleaning the house.

Truth is, I haven't been doing any of those things.

I won't tell you everything I have been doing because internet, I like you too much to do that to you.

Instead, I will tell you a little bit about what I've been up to:

The weekend before the election, Kevin (AKA Lee), and I went to Grand Rapids to see the Grand Rapids Griffins play the Milwaukee Admirals. They gave away Obama and McCain bobbleheads at the game. They had 1,000 of each and whichever ran out first was declared the winner. Obama won! The Griffins, on the other hand, lost, 5-4.


I took a picture of this player because I went Holt High School and our mascot was a ram.


This is a patriotic griffin (I think) wielding some sort of hot dog shooting weapon. I sure hope Obama doesn't try to take away his hot dog gun!


The weekend of Thanksgiving we had a diorama party. The themes were:
1. League of Democracies
2. Moments in Rock History

Amanda's bowling league of democracies:


Joel's moment in rock history:

Do you get it? He had to explain it to me. It's a good one!

Joel's other moment in rock history:

Is it true what they say or is it just a rumor? He didn't have to explain this one to me. If you want, I can explain it to you.

Kristin's moment in rock history:

I love it!

My league of demothcracies:

We were together this summer when someone had a run-in with a moth.

Let's see...

Looks like the Yankees are signing Carston Charles Sabathia to the tune of $161 million for seven years. I wish I could be good enough at a game to make that kind of money. I hope the hamburger doesn't miss the hot dog too much!

I thought I had a lot more to write tonight but instead I have to go make brownies for a work potluck.
