random saturday musings

• cars are good; car maintenance is a pain
• i like orange vegetables–butternut squash, carrots, sweet potatoes, yams
• haricot verts are just french style green beans
• i like cooking for friends and having them over
• i don’t like cleaning before and after i have friends over, but it’s a necessary evil
• dublin dr. pepper is available just 2.7 miles from my house and i just found out this afternoon
• our country needs accessible, affordable health care for everyone
• easter candy is better than valentine’s candy
• prices are really going up at the grocery store
• what does it say that my 3 fave celebs at the moment are all food network hosts: guy fieri, robert irvine, and duff goldman
• i love being a volunteer in youth ministry more than being a youth pastor
• meeting our parent company’s new ceo was good–i’m really excited we have a woman ceo
• i’m looking forward to going to oklahoma for easter
• if barack obama really is going to be the democratic nominee and the next president, i sure hope he figures out a way to come even 1/2 close to the hype he’s created for himself
• if barack obama is the president and can’t live up to the hype, i think bush’s current approval ratings will look really high
• i still think if the democratic party genuinely wanted to fix things and not play politics as usual, they’d figure out a way to run a clinton/obama ticket; clinton focusing on foreign issues; obama on domestic and after a 4-8 year run, then obama could run and the dems could potentially have 16 uninterrupted presidential years
