Getting my lens back today.

I got home from my wedding on Saturday
without my 70-200L lens. A &17 HUNDRED dollar
lens. Sure, I felt stupid. I knew right where
I left it but it was gone. But as God would have
it, no sooner did I call Jim Werdin,
I got the call that the bride's mother had
discovered it and hung onto it. I canceled the
claim and made arrangements to go and pick it up.
Today is that day. YAY!

I have a lot to catch up on but as I go through
my day today I will do so knowing that Sarah Palin
did a FABulous job last night in her first ever
VP debate! (btw, did you all go to DEBATE DRINK
and print out the rules for last night's debate?)
I had about 20 people playing along with Gary and I!
OMG it made listening to the debate all the more
enriching! Gary thought he would add a rule and that
was "when Biden get's weepy or cries...chug a quart!"
Needless to say...we ran out of wine.
good times.

John McCain...

Okay, so I'm not supposed to say anything
but I can't take it anymore. There's just
so much "election" in the air that sometimes
I go a little crazy but anyway....so I'm at
my mom's the other day for a quick visit
and I open the door and who is in my mom's
living room? JOHN MCCAIN!...I KNOW! I
couldn't believe it myself! He didn't stay
long but I was able to convince his people
(my mom) to take our picture. Thanks JMac!
We talked about what a fabulous running mate
Tim Pawlenty would make and that appointing
him would allow him ALSO to carry Minnesota!
Yea, I got the inside track now! ;)
However, he did seem a little quite, somewhat
stiff, he really stood his ground and no
matter where you were in the room, his eyes
seemed to follow you...hmmmmmm.



Yea, I know...I thought he was taller too.

Today is "National Night Out" but in Eden
Prairie, we will be referring to ours as
Eden Prairie Night Out! We're going to have
a ball tonight!


Notable...yesterday I didn't cry about Hobie.

Run Fatboy, Run.

This looks hilarious! Run Fatboy Run.
I can't wait to see it!

Oh, also...another photographer,[b]ecker
(or just simply "[b]" to most) has posted this
quite silly political view by "the onion".
I think no matter which side you are on,
you will find it to be quite truthful as well.

Today G is coming over for a bit of a makeover.
She's elected to color her hair a couple of
times in recent months and has gone back to her
reddish~brown hair color. Blonde has been a
real eye~opener for her. Altho' we all like it,
it's pretty tough and expensive to keep up.
Today we will weigh all the facts and consider
also that she has chosen to attend the
University of Missouri so we will need to select
a color that is a little less "maintenance" filled.
I'll post photos tomorrow.

Owen turns 3 on Sunday. He is so funny.
He knows the order of everyone's birthdays...
I asked him on Sunday, "who's birthday is after
your birthday?" and he goes "Sue-Sue!" so cute.
Love him.









Bye.
