A little of this and that.

I still haven't written Punk's 5month post on her blog. Poo.
We got a Christmas tree on Thursday and it still isn't decorated. Poo.
Jen started the laundry on Thursday and there are still no folded clothes to show for it. Poo poo poo.

Punk seems to have a bit of a cold. She is very snuffly and today she just wants to sleep and sleep. Poor little thing. We have put her to bed late the last two nights, too, because of different obligations (a Hanukkah thing on Friday and some holiday shopping last night) and I'm sure that doesn't help. Poor Punker! She has been sleeping since 11am or so, and her REAL morning nap (she always takes a quick one about an hour after she wakes up which doesn't count) is never this long. She has been snuffly for a couple of days but hasn't been overly sleepy until today. Hopefully she will sleep it out of her system.

I got my IVP secret swap present from targetgirl619! Yay! Thanks, C! (It was an Indigo Girls CD.)

Church this morning was about peace. That's nice. You never can have too many talks about peace. Every week, RevCam talks about the cost per week of the Iraq War. It makes me cry every time. Today he was also talking about the veto of CHIP. That makes me so angry. So, so angry. "Forgive them, Father, for they know not what they do," he said. I lost it.

The thing that really pisses me off about the SCHIP veto is Republican position that it's no good because it may end up covering people who don't need it, since the cut-off is three times the poverty level. Oh no! We may ensure that too many people get health care coverage! What a tragedy! And if the can (barely) afford it now, they may not have that money tied up in health coverage, which will allow them to spend it on nutritious foods or *gasp* consumer goods!

Ugh...I really hate people who are so tax-obsessed that they're looking for people who are getting from the government things that they may be able to afford (barely) without government assistance. They need to go back to church and learn about helping the least among you; and maybe even back to Econ in college and learn about how government spending helps to spur the economy more than anything else.

I know. I really just don't understand it. God forbid we provide "too many services" to help people. I just don't get it AT ALL. How can anyone NOT want everyone to have health insurance? I mean, why do they want to keep it for themselves? Sometimes I think I don't belong in this world - I'm too thin skinned.

So glad you like it! I like Finlandia and the one with Ani. So amazing.

"Uncle John's Band" is one of my favorite songs ever. I also like "I Will Give You My Skin."

I like peace, too. God I'm so f-ing sick of the war.

Would you mind emailing me your address so I could send you a holiday card? I wanted to "repay" you for the one you sent me last year (I sprained my ankle and was hugely pregnant so I didn't get any out). I wrote down your address from last year but my address book died. Anyway, if you don't mind, it's keri_samples at hotmail dot com.

Me, too.

And address is sent. Thanks for thinking of me! :)
