What am I going to do?

Before today, I was pretty set on who I was going to vote for. I had chosen to vote for "Change Utah can believe in" by voting for Obama. Today, however, I discovered a lot of things about him that I didn't know. He, apparently, has no desire to protect marriage and family and in fact, supports abortion so strongly that I am surprised people are not comparing him to Hitler or Saddam Hussein...oh wait, they are. I was sickened by what I read about his views. I know that what I read was on some crazy right-wing website but, it had links to proof of what he was saying. I absolutly refuse to pay for abortions or support someone who wants to create embryos just to kill them for stem-cell research.

Now, I'm not saying that I'm wholely against the research, because I'm not. I am against the creation of the embryos en masse just to destroy them. That, to me, is stupid, wasteful and evil. Using fetuses from miscarriages or afterbirth material to run this research is a much better idea. This information will be vital to the medical community but, it is absurd to think that people in this country, even cripples, would ever support this audacious idea!

I also think it is ridiculous that he wants to get rid of all the ammendments that oppose gay marriage. This is just like my high school mascot all over again. I mean, come on, the people have already voted on this issue, why is he going to suddenly come back and say thay have no choice in the matter. What an egoist!
"Ok, so you're president, what are you going to do now?"
"I'm going to overturn laws that were inacted after the voting process was carried out and the American people gave their answer by a clear majority."
"Don't you think that will make people angry?"
"Oh, no...just because they voted doesn't mean they actually know what they want. After all, they voted for me even though I lied about what I believe and refused to answer questions about touchy topics. Why create a stir? I'll just do what I want, now that the brainwashing has clearly taken effect. I mean....that question is above my pay level..."

So, you see my prediament..do I vote for the young, idealistic, baby-hating, gay loving newcomer or for the old guy who has experience and is going to keep our troops in Iraq (where they don't belong in the first place) for 100 years and will drive our economy, health care and educational systems into the ground but loves babies and will fight for the family? That's right..I'm voting for Pedro. Spread the word....Pedro '08!

Thinking of a title is too hard.

I am glad that I am finally starting to get better. It's kind of odd though, because I was really sick from Thursday through Sunday but, started getting better Sunday night. I feel much less achy and gross but I am still coughing and nose blowing all the time. I hate it and I wish I would just be back to normal, already. I'm just glad to be able to get off the couch and go out.

My ward is really awesome. The Relief Society sent around a "Get Well" card on Sunday and had everyone sign it for me. I'm assuming my friend Candace (the RS Pres.) did it because I told her I was sick to help make sure she and her daughter weren't sick because they had spent Wednesday afternoon with me.

I was talking to Sky yesterday and I thought of another quirk that I didn't put down. I didn't really think of it before because my dad and Sky and I all do it. Anyway, I apparently sleep in a funny way. I fall asleep facing the center of my bed (and Sky) then right after I fall asleep, I wake up and roll over to face the edge of the bed with my left arm extended straight out above me and my fingers hanging off the top of the mattress. I have my pillow between my arm and my head. I also have to have a pillow between my legs from my knees to my feet to help ease the pain in my lower back. A third pillow is held in my right arm, keeping it propped and preventing soreness in my neck and shoulder. So, Sky claims this is odd because he can sleep in pretty much any position but, I have difficulty sleeping any other way. He usually does have the pillows in the same positions as I do, though.

On another note, I am not looking forward to cleaning my house again. I finally got it all clean then I got sick. I was too weak and tired to clean it and Sky sits and does nothing. So, instead of maintaining the clean, he made it dirty. It's quite annoying because now I have to clean everything this weekend. Argh! Hopefully, I'll be able to keep it clean after that. We'll see...

Quirky, quirky me.

1. I dissect all candy that I eat. KitKats are broken apart then the chocolate around the edges is eaten before I separate the wafers and nibble them slowly and individually (I do the exact same thing to Nutter Butters, too). Also, for Reese's, I eat the chocolate around the edge first then peel it off the bottom then top and eat the peanut butter last. I do this to Snickers, 3 Muskateers, York, Tagalongs (girl scout cookies)...everything. I even sort Nerds, M & Ms and Skittles and eat them all by color...it's very odd, I know.

2. I, like Rebecca, hate all hair that is not currently attached to someone's body. I hate showers, pools, floors. I wear sock and/or slippers at all times while in my house. I do not swim in pools and I refuse to clean my own bathroom; my husband has to do it. Earlier this week, the drain in my shower completely stopped flowing andI had to clean out the drain. I almost puked..all that hair...*shivers*.

3. I count incessantly. I count steps, tiles and stairs. I am always couting the lines used to make something, eg. the cuts needed to make the square shapes on the front of the pulpit in the conference center, during General Conference talks. I also constantly run my fingers along the edges of my finger nails (they are very square) and count over and over until I reach100. I also count the movements needed to crack my fingers, wrists, elbows and neck, up to 100. Once I reach 100, I start over and do it again..all the time counting. If the number of something does not reach 100, I find ways of counting lines or parts to make it at least add up to the 10s place.

4. All of my clothes, linens, socks, etc. have to be folded the same way. The seams, lines and size of all of the same kinds of objects must be identical. (Shirts all match, jeans all line up, towels are all the same exact size.) Also, they all have to face the same way in my drawers, no just dropping things in...it all has to be precisely organized.

5. I refuse to put vegetables on my plate until I have eaten everything else. I will eat my meal then eat vegetables before I take any seconds. I do this to keep the juice from the vegetable from running into the other food. Asparagus is especially bad.

6. I always check my shower for spiders before I get in. I look all over both sides of the curtain, all in the tub, the walls of the shower, around the bottles and behind the shower rack; it all has to be searched to ensure that a spider isn't going to crawl up my leg or drop on my head during the shower.

I tag Jennie W. , Carolyn D., and Kat H. and that's it cause they're the only friends I have who blog.
