People

People are so interesting. Joel and I took the girls out for pizza last night and right down the street there was a live band playing. We decided to grab a coffee and check it out. We both agreed that watching the surrounding people was way more entertaining then the band. In fact, I really believe that watching people is Joel's top hobby. He loves to just sit and stare. There was a lot to look at last night. People are truly amazing and interesting and also odd and sometimes just plain unbelievable.... and then when you throw a live band in the mix..... that really gives you something to look at!

Washington

My parents live in Washington and were telling me the other day that it is now illegal for them to talk on a cell phone and drive at the same time. I think it is crazy to enforce that. First of all, if that is the law, then what about driving and... smoking, eating, reading, putting on makeup, and all the other things people do while they are driving. I am sure most of us never have both hands on the wheel. I actually find that catching up on my phone calls is perfect for a car ride. The kids are usually quiet and buckled in and I can get the calls made without them interrupting me. (usually). I think that it is crazy for us to be told we can't decide whether we are capable of doing two things at once. Maybe it is safer to not talk on the phone and drive at the same time, but this is just the beginning of a long list of laws that are going to take away more of our rights...... pretty soon it will be illegal to drink some nice refreshing water while driving down the road.... and maybe we will no longer be aloud to turn the radio station, or sing with the cd player..... because that can be very distracting!.....
Speaking of Washington, I did find some great tickets to come visit the end of August. The girls and I will be flying roundtrip out of Cincinnati for $400 total! Looking forward to it. I will let you know if I get pulled over for talking on my phone while driving...

Polling...

I always hear all of these new "polls" that come out daily about politics, gas prices, the economy and everything else under the sun. Just wondering, have any of you been asked or polled? I sure have not... so that makes me wonder who gets asked these polling questions. Maybe I am just out of the loop on how this works but I do not know one person who is ever asked these polling questions. So who are the lucky people who get asked these questions? I am sure I just don't fully grasp how polls work but in my small mind I found it a little funny and a bit intriguing. I guess it doesn't take much to intrigue me....
