Election 2008

I'll be glad when the elections are over. Its funny how the news is super-saturated with election coverage, yet there is so very little by way of newsworthy information. Political dialogue in this country seems to have been reduced to name calling, posturing, and senseless party one-liners.

Yesterday, I got into a ridiculous email argument with Laura's brother-in-law. It was stupid discussion to begin with regarding Gov. Palin's credentials. You would think it was a no brainer but it wasn't. After a few heated emails back and forth we ended it. My mother-in-law, who started the whole thing, decided to send an apologetic message (for sending out the initial email) to everyone one except me. Hmmmmmmmm.....I wonder if that was intentional. ;-)

Today, I went for a 6 mile run. Its the first thing I have done since the Malibu tri. It felt good to be out and about. I want to keep things loose but don't want to overdo anything before the Carp tri, a week from Sunday.

My run in with Laura's family reminds me how far I still have to go. If they can upset me so much and churn up old feelings so quickly, I'm sure there are things I need to work out. Again, hopefully, USM can help me out.

One other thing, I had a nightmare this morning that something terrible had happened to Anjali. It scared me senseless. I kept saying to myself that I must be dreaming and that I needed to wake up. I did wake up. It really sensitized me to enjoying the moments I have with the girls. Nothing like a little total freak out to help put things in perspective.

BTW, I'm not sure if anyone actually reads any of these. If you do, perhaps you could just comment 'here.' I guess it doesn't really matter but it would be nice to know. Sometimes it feels like I am talking to someone who is behind me but I'm just not entirely sure if anyone is still behind me or not. I could just be blabbering on and on and people are wondering who the hell I'm talking to. Ha!
