I would like to state that I am a brunette, but now I am a mix of grey, white, brown, and blonde. I would also like to say that I am 150 pounds, but that would be a boldfaced lie. How about I say I am work in progress because that is the truth? A beautiful work in progress. I love the sound of my fingers tapping on the keyboard and my greatest hope is that something that I write will lift someone else on their journey.

Progression

So, good news at the imsofunny camp. I’ve had a total of 1,800 hits in the past few days. I never expected my instalanch and gateway link from two political blogs: instapundit and gatewaypundit.(because from my post a while back, you all know I have never really been into politics) But, wow, I have taken myself by surprise with my own involvement the past couple of weeks. Something lit a political fire under me and I am not totally sure what it was.

To all of my readers who like my typical stories and not my Mitt Romney propaganda, you will be happy that my love affair politics is almost over. I can feel my disenchantment coming on: it’s inevitable, tomorrow is SuperTuesday. I’ll be glad when it’s over, so I can get back to blogging about things that I love. (not sure what the things I love are, but I like to rediscover that every day) I reallylaughed at what a man said to me tonight when I called him about voting. He said, “Well, honey, what I always say is, You have to vote or you have no right to b****.” (I apologize to my Mormon friends for the vulgarity there)

On a side note: I have had the same template for my blog for the past 3 years. But recently people say they can’t read it any more. Which, means that who knows how many of the people from my miracle of an instalaunch could actually read my blog! Oh well, I never planned on being famous in the political world anyway.

For you who have been disappointed when you came to my blog to only find one smeared page, you will be happy to know that I am now in the processing of changing my template. I have to say though that I feel a great sense of loss. I have gotten attached to my old one! How sad, somehow the instalaunch I’ve been wishing for got me no loyal readers and simutaneously ruined my good old template! Well, I guess it’s all about progression. (blogging and political)

Campaign Calling

So, I got to call a bunch of people in Kingston, TN tonight to try and convince some last minute undecideds to vote for Romney.

One woman told me that she was voting for either McCain or Huckabee. I said something to the effect that, “If you want a conservative you need to vote for Romney, he’s the only conservative with a chance.”

She says “I could never vote for Romney.”

I say, “It’s a shame that people won’t vote for Romney because they don’t think that he is not Christian, because he is.”

She says, “I think it’s a shame that you call my vote a waste.”

What the crap? Where did she get that?

She must realize that a vote for that Huckabee is a waste, and as far as I am concerned, so is one for McCain.

C’mon conservative voters, come through for us tomorrow.

Watch CNN. And, why did CNN even give Hucakbee air time? They are totally liberal, it’s obvious by the way use their airtime. I am sick of it!

Britian’s Got Talent

LG introduced me to one of the most popluar YouTube videos right now. It is obvious why LG thinks this a cool clip. But what most people don’t know about LG is that he is also a soprano, just like this Brit.

Truly, LG has never learned to sing anything past what he sang in church primary. He can hold a tune in soprano, but is still trying to figure out how to sing other manly parts of music. I do give him kudos for always practicing though.

And, what does this have to do with English Ed&Et you ask? Well, hello, Simon Cowell! He is one of my favorite Britishman. I love his honesty. Americans just can’t handle people like Simon and I. This clip is from his show, “Britian’s Got Talent”. This male soprano is just amazing! It is no surprise that he won the grand prize which consisted of a good amount of money and a chance to perform for the Queen.

From the clip comes the English word of the day: goose pimple! Doesn’t that just sound nasty? So people in the UK actually have pussy pimples when they get those tingles? Nah, I’m just kidding. We know what they mean, but really, just so you English people know, in the US, they are called goose bumps, not pimples. The word pimple is only uttered when referring to the yucky adolescent thing we call acne.

More on Romney
The articles will help you understand the real reasons I am rallying for Romney.
Contrary to popular belief, his good looks are not the reason. Although I do like one woman’s ideas of a campaign slogan. Women for Romney can cry out: “We’re smitten for Mitt.”
And, isn’t voting for a man because he is good looking just a step above not voting for a man because he is a Mormon?
I am posting a sign on my car until Tuesday (join me if you want)
Mitt Romney.com he’s the only conservative.

Lemons

Do you want to know what I think is totally sour?
I hate it when my friends send me e-mails that ruin a very real enjoyable part of my life.

I always get a lemon in my water when I go out to a restaurant. I can’t stand the taste of old yucky pipes.

I won’t paste the forwarded e-mail here, but let’s just say that one of my friends decided it was necessary to tell me that restaurant lemons are full of germs.
Do you know how I am dealing with the news? Well, I am basically acting as if I never received the news. I have reasoned it away so that I can continue to enjoy my eating out experience.

How do I know those people are really scientists? And how can they say that just because the lemons are bacterial at Harvard area restaurants it means that it is the same scenario in Knoxville? Besides, I am never going to visit Harvard anyway, and I am sure that the waitresses’ fingernails in Knoxville are cleaner than those uppidity college students.

So, people, please think before you send me an e-mail. Some people are just trying to live every day anxiety free. I just don’t want to know these trivial things. I have never gotten sick from a restaurant lemon before. I dont want to worry every time I sit on a public toilet seat. I want to take my kids to McDonald’s to play in the balls syringe free. I want to check to see if someone left their change in a vending machine or public phone (haven’t seen one of those in a long time – are they still even around?)

You get the picture. No more sour e-mails, please!

I love Mitt and a good game.

The Real Mitt Romney

I also bumped this post from 1/29 for my instapundit readers. Thanks Glenn again for a very fun unexpected surprise.

You MUST read this blog entry entitled “The Real Mitt Romney” by Candace Selima in California. It shows Mitt Romney giving selfless service to a family that had a burned down tree from a California fire. Wow, this article completely change my way of thinking. I am convinced that Mitt makes a wonderful presidential candidate and that he will be a remarkable President. Mitt may be the only candidate who is actually capable of leaving a legacy that hasn’t been given to government since the 80’s. Mitt may be the only presidential candidate willing to give anonymous service, (by wielding a shovel of all things) just because he is a Christian. Don’t we need someone like this for president?

Reading this story just gave me the last nip in the you know what to jump on Mitt’s band wagon. I think I am even going to ask to be a part of his campaign?

I watched the State of the Union address last night, and really enjoyed Mitt’s comments during the aftershow. I have been getting more informed about the Presidential election lately. Every day I love Mitt more and more. I am convinced that he is the new Reagan to cure our very sick economy. I also know because of Mitt’s life accomplishments (in government and out) that he will be able to handle pretty much whatever comes his way with success.

And, the last reason he has my vote:


I hope I won’t offend Ann Romney or my husband , but LOOK at this man…he will be the best looking president since JFK. I mean really, he gives JFK a run for his money, and the man unlike JFK is a faithful husband, father, and grandfather.

Holy cow. Do we have a winner or what?

I was listening to Rush earlier today and there was a byte from a Florida poll voter.

To summarize what he said, “I am NOT a Mormon, but what a lot of people do not know about Mormons is that they take care of people. Mitt has my vote because he is a Mormon. I know he will care about the people and that his religion teaches him to honor all religions.”

You can vote for whoever you would like, but whatever you do, go and read this story. It will inspire you, I promise.

I don’t know about the rest of you, but I am going to stay up all night tonight to hear the results from the Florida.
