Debates and Surprises

Hi All,

It's been a good day today. I got a care package from my family in Seattle. Mark and I were very surprised when we opened it up to find all sorts of goodies inside. Some include candy, Halloween stuff and cookies from my bubby. Thanks family! I love you! I appreciate you thinking of me and helping me cope with the home sickness. Also, Ba kitty thanks you for his bird, as soon as I took it out of the box his eyes got wide and he went after it. Aw :)

In other news, I just watched the last installment of the presidential debates. Man, was John McCain feisty tonight or what? He knows this was his last chance to pull out all the stops, however; I don't feel like Obama did a very good job defending himself. He still did a great job, always cool under pressure, but he didn't really fight. I guess that's his style, but it would have been nice if McCain didn't get away with all of those asinine statements. I still think Obama won though. Yeah Obama!

I was super happy that they finally talked about Roe vs. Wade. I was wondering when they were going to bring that up, if ever. For me, the candidates really showed their true colors in that portion of the debate. McCain= pro-life Obama= Pro-choice, need I say more? This is a hot button issue for me. I can't have someone in office that can't protect women's basic human rights to a safe and legal abortion. McCain would be more of the same, don't let his politics fool you. (Sorry to any of you readers whom are voting for McCain, I'm not trying to hurt feelings, just expressing what I believe.)

Deep Breath. Ok, I get heated about women's rights. I minored in women studies, my mother works in Perinatal care as a nurse, and my papa is an OBGYN. Theses issues effect me, my family, and my friends. So, that's all :)

Not too much else has been going on here these days. I have been fighting a cold that keeps coming back, which hasn't been much fun. Work is going well, still stressful, I think this job is just gonna be like that. But my health insurance kicks in in about two weeks so I'm very excited for that. It would be nice to be covered. Choir is going well, our concert is soon! We are totally not ready yet :) It's finally fall here and it's beautiful. I love that it's a little cooler outside now and love the color of the leaves.

Tonight I'm going to a girls night with some of the lady's from Mark's department. We are gonna eat pizza, drink wine, and watch a movie. Should be fun, it's a nice chance to be social anyway :)

Bye for now,

Sarah
