The Funny Thing...

The funniest part of blogging is when people tell me about things they read on my blog as if I never heard that bit of news.

For example, a conversation might go like this:
Person: "So, I read the other day that people are turning their dollars into Euros."

Me: "Yeah, I know."

Person: "You do?..."

Me: "Yeah, I wrote about it on my blog. Remeber? You even commented on that post."

Person: "Oh...yeah..."

Cute Pics

I couldn't resist posting these photos. Enjoy!


This is a stuffed animal panda, but it looks kind of real. I wonder if the guy had to pay a plane ticket since the panda is in its own seat.
















Pretty good costume.












So cute! I wish I had a baby panda that rocked on a blue horse.





























Nap time: my favorite hobby.

I Love My Hair

I have the best hair in the world. I never have wished it was anything but curly. People put down a lot of cash to have this kind of hair.

For some strange reason, I think my hair looks the best in the morning when it is all sticking up. I would never go out in public like this--looking like a troll doll and all. I guess I am just amazed at the height; and all I have to do is go to sleep and wake up. Voila! Instant troll-doll hair!

I have to share some recent pics.

I don't know why I'm making this face. I just woke up.






































This is me this morning. I'm going to the Keep Portland Weird Festival, so I am practicing.



















The pointy swirl on the top of my head reminds me of soft-serve ice cream.




















This picture came out all red. I left it like this because my eyes look humongous.

My New Scoot!

I got a new scooter some time ago and have not even posted a picture up of it. Ack!

Here it is:















Here are some pictures I found online while surfing around:


I think the Jetsons owned this one.

























I didn't even know 2-person scooters even existed!




































This is a scooter?





















This looks like a boat mod-ed into a scooter





















A jet ski on wheels


















A retro-looking something or other. Where is the girl on roller skates with my milkshake and fries?

R.I.P. Michael Crichton

Michael Crichton died yesterday, November 4, of a private battle he had with cancer. Crichton was 66-years-old.

Crichton was a larger than life storyteller figuratively and literally. Standing at 6'9", Crichton is known for his best-selling novels, the "ER" TV series, and blockbuster movies. Some of my favorite books by Crichton include The Lost World, Jurassic Park, and Travels (Crichton's autobiography). Crichton was also well known for his controversial views about global warming.

Vote!

My sister called me in hysterics last night: "Did you vote? Who are you voting for?...DO NOT vote for McCain! Daddy said you are undecided." I was undecided up until an hour before she called me.

Then I tell her I am voting for our dad. Ha-ha! She didn't think this was funny because she was seriously concerned about for whom I would vote. So she asks me who I am voting for, to which I answer: "Sock Monkey." She thought that was funny.

I then ask why she is so against McCain. She goes to tell me that is not that she is afraid of him dying while in office. She is afraid of Palin becoming President if McCain dies while in office. I guess that is a valid point.

Get out and vote if you have not yet. I turned in my ballot today. Yay electoral votes!
