Dear God

Holy cow - I have always loved this song and I finally found a postable version of it. I stumbled across this song by accident - it's from Mike's favorite angst ridden, goth infused, metal screeching guitar band Avenged Sevenfold. Crazy right? Crazier yet? I just found out that the band's lead singer (who calls himself M. Shadows, by the way) is really named Matthew Charles Sanders. Matthew Charles. Great name...what can I say?

Not a Debate - Just Something that Resonated With Me...

“I understand how difficult this health care debate has been. I know that many in this country are deeply skeptical that government is looking out for them. I understand that the politically safe move would be to kick the can further down the road – to defer reform one more year, or one more election, or one more term

But that’s not what the moment calls for. That’s not what we came here to do. We did not come to fear the future. We came here to shape it. I still believe we can act even when it’s hard. I still believe we can replace acrimony with civility, and gridlock with progress. I still believe we can do great things, and that here and now we will meet history’s test.

Because that is who we are. That is our calling. That is our character.”

The House is All Akimbo!

And that's because we're totally mixing it up! We're bringing in a new entertainment center and trying to get rid of extra bits of furniture that aren't needed.

We're also taking our den (which is actually supposed to be our dining room) and turning it into a REAL dining room by making a home for our computer desk in the cubby hole in the living room. This, in turn, will make more room in our kitchen for Chef Mike. The goal is to get rid of (or put into storage) anything that we don't use on a regular basis.

Mike's not looking forward to putting together the entertainment center and moving all of the furniture around, but his sweet little anal retentive soul will love living in our clutter free haven when we're finished.

Well, time for bed! The real work begins tomorrow!! Wish us luck!
