Did I Say Too Much, Today?

After a lengthy phone call to find out why I am not a registered voter anymore, I finally found out when and where I can go to register in McHenry County. Phew, good thing, because I may actually vote this year... maybe. I have always said I am either a very conservative democrat or a liberal republican (my teen/college years I claimed to be a democrat, dont think bad of me.) Now, as I am older, perhaps wiser... I still claim that I am a conservative democrat or liberal republican. I would almost say libertarian... and I can feel the discussion now... I am a little scared to see what can happen when government controls everything. I think we are headed that way. I like to think that hard work paid off so that we can still pay for our very expensive benefits so we may choose the best doctors, which I have a hell of a time getting appointments already... hopefully you see my point. I do not agree with abortion, just to have an abortion. Therefore, I will not do it. Those who choose...

YUM! I had a nice holiday weekend. I got to spend Sunday with my sweet little family at the Apple Orchard in 90 degree weather... I loved every minute of it, including wiping the sweat from by boys' brows. Despite the sweltering heat, we did polish off a bag of donuts and of course a half gallon of Cider. I am surprised we did not get ill from all the sugar! I found the clearance section and scored some CUTE fall decor, I think that may be an addiction... After the Orchard, we headed into town to look at all the home improvement stores, and just as I thought... everything we needed was too expensive while everything we wanted was sold out. Good, because I went home and did some online shopping...another addiction... Visited Kohls.com, found a patio set we wanted- used a gift card, 25% off, earned $40 Kohls cash and our patio set will be here in a couple of days... why cant all shopping be this easy?! I am pretty excited for our set to arrive, we have not had patio furniture ...
