Vox Hunt: Favorite Person

Show us your favorite person.

Hee hee - some cute little someone, with a dirty little giggle, who loves hugs, kisses, books, cats, storytime, and music!

My little Maeve, of course!

Use your life wisely

I used to know someone who grew up in Europe, even tho they were an American citizen.  Now, this person, instead of letting that experience enrich their life, uses it to bludgeon other people, saying this makes them better than everyone else.  This person also uses this experience to explain why their choices in life (particularly child rearing) are better than everyone elses'.  On top of that, this person would go on about being supremely patriotic about the US, especially when their spouse was deployed.

I feel sorry for that person.  They had a wonderful opportunity to enrich their life - and they simply used it to be a snot.  What a waste.  It's no wonder said person lives in Hamilton County, where the majority of people I've met from there like to look down their noses at everyone else.  Heh, and said person will now probably go on about suing me for "internet harassment" - that's how sad their life is.

QotD: Time Travel

What's the closest thing you have to a time machine?

My daughter, of course.  She takes me back to simple pleasures and childhood wonder.

A stalker

It appears I have a stalker here, so from now on, at least for the time being, I'm going to have to make everything visible to my neighborhood only.  If you're one of my friends who doesn't have a vox, you'll need to either sign up for one, or email me, and I can set you up with email feeds of my blog.  Or, if you do have a vox, but I haven't added you to my neighborhood, let me know, and I'll add you.

And said stalker can just stew about what's being said, whether it concerns them or not!

It amazes me...

You know, it amazes me, the way some people can say "Support our Troops" in one breath, and then scream at you for trying to enjoy the very rights said troops are trying to protect and defend.  Talk about hypocrites.  There is freedom of speech, and right to assemble, last I checked.

QotD: [this is home]

Where do you consider home?  Is it the place you grew up; the place you're currently living?  Why is it home?
Submitted by uncagedbird. 

Home is where ever I live with my hubby and our daughter.  My hometown is Omaha, and I'm proud to be from there, and may live there again someday.

The WHAT channel?

On the way to work today, I was listening to the radio, and there was an ad for the local cable company.  They were listing all their "exciting" channels, when they said something that almost made me hit a tree - there's a GOLF channel?!?!?!  And people actually PAY for that!?!?!?!

Now you can PAY to be bored!!

Which Harry Potter female character am I? You have to ask? :P

Hermoine Granger: You are really smart, and your best friends are Ron and Harry. As for best girl friend- Ginny Weasley. Lay off the schoolwork though.

Hip Librarians

Here's an interesting article you may or may not have seen about librarians:  http://www.nytimes.com/2007/07/08/fashion/08librarian.html?em&ex=1184126400&en=a0039b125f489b9b&ei=5087%0A

fresh start lottery

I've been thinking lately, and you know, I wouldn't mind winning the lottery, and not winning 80 million trillion dollars.  If I could clear $500,000, I could pay all our bills (including the mortgage), pay the taxes, put money aside for Maeve's college (and for our next child as well), get James a new car, and then James could drop to part time if he wanted.  I don't really want tons of money - I just want a chance to get ahead, like everyone else.  :)
