Powers that be back

The power went off for a few seconds yesterday, and then I couldn't get on the internet -- something to do with the thingy-bobber -- you know, the satellite box-thingy. I let Scott handle stuff like that. I should have posted this last night when he fixed it, but I was playing Stronghold Crusader. ;) Yes, I'm back into that game again. I haven't really played since June.

Yesterday's (Friday's) steps: 4333 -- a little better
Goal: at least 10,000 steps a day

Anyway, here is what I wrote yesterday before the power went off:

We all watched the debates last night and thought that Bush did quite well, despite our perception that the questions seemed to be slanted in favor of Kerry. I thought John Kerry looked like a little old lady with the big hair and the makeup. Cassandra said he looked and acted a lot like a televangelist. From what I understand, Kerry told about 17 lies last night. I believe it, but I don't feel like going into this anymore. I have lots of tolerance for reading and listening to politics, but writing about it is tiresome to me. I don't know how some bloggers can stand to write about it every day.

As far as watching and reading about politics goes, my husband and I as well as all of our children are very interested. We've decided that politics to us is like sports to most people. There is some interesting game on almost every day, and the election is like the Super Bowl or the World Series or something. ;)

In other news:


  • I switched to Mozilla Firefox yesterday. I really like it. I had been thinking about it for almost a year, and I finally decided to try it.

  • My mom gave me a couple of huge rolls of 2" black velcro. I think I have a lifetime supply now. I've been putting it on the fitted cloth diapers I made earlier for Jordan. It's not as pretty as the white, but they're diapers. The idea is to save money, so free Velcro is not something to get picky about.

  • Yesterday's (Thursday's) steps: 2068 :P

Congrats on the Firefox; it's all I use! :)

I didn't watch the debate. Didn't want to... don't want to see orange man's face or hear his voice. Ugh... I know who I'm voting for; why bother?

Have a great Saturday!! :D

Firefox is great -- I'm really impressed with it. You've been my main inspiration to try it, Pam.

I don't blame you for not watching the debates. My favorite part of the debate was when we got out the cookie dough ice cream. ;) It really boils my blood looking at and listening to Kerry.
