Things you wouldn't know if I didn't have a blog

Good news! Today I really had nowhere to be until my 8 PM yoga class, so I woke up, assessed my attire, found it fitting for the yoga class, and stayed in it all day. Now, as I run through my routine of time-wasting sites on the computer because I'm procrastinating getting ready for bed (like I always do ["I'm too tired to get ready for bed!"]), I'm realizing that I'm already wearing clothes I can sleep in. Nice, and I'm not even being sarcastic.

Also nice: going to Target in the 9 to 10 PM hour.

Not very nice, but funny: The lady checking out the clothes rounders at Target next to me, talking on her phone to a very talkative gentleman, then hanging up on him in the middle of his long-windedness, not because she's mad, but because -- as I soon find out -- her stepson is boring her with the detailed drama of trying to get back with his ex-wife. She'll tell him later that her phone died. Stepmoms are not to be trusted!

Well, good night. Don't think I'm gross because I stayed in my pajamas for what will end up being around 36 hours. You all should try it.

How's yoga going?

Stepmoms aren't so bad.

Don't have to try it, have already done it. Have done it more than I'd care to admit. I was reading someone's blog who said that she felt like she had to dress down into sweats when she went to Wal Mart so that she wouldn't stand out. It kind of depressed me to realize that I am that person at Wal Mart making her feel uncomfortable for actually wearing real clothes! It is nice to have one less thing to worry about though.

That Mom? So sad! Next time someone's phone dies on me, I'll have to wonder, hmmm....?

I'm with you on the comfort of long-pajama-wearing. As long as you have little ones in the home, it is nothing to be ashamed of. (I use my kids as excuses for just about everything. That probably makes me a bad mom, doesn't it?)

Been there, done that. And now I don't feel so bad about it. :)

And I can testify that Sarah is the best stepmom in the WORLD!

I had Hallie tell on me last week to Courtney when I was still in my P.J.'s for too long. Somedays it's just like why bother getting dressed?

A trip to Target that time of night IS nice but taking that late of a trip to Walmart is really scary. Try to avoid it!

(Sigh!) so glad you have a blog, this is precisely the kind of stuff I want to know about all my friends.

I pull that pajama trick virtually any time I can get away with it, which thankfully isn't often.

I figured out a title: This post is more about race than it is about politics

For me, one of the favorable things about Barack Obama is that he's black. Half black, but black nonetheless. I've heard a lot of hullabaloo -- especially in the media -- that we really ought not let race play a factor in this election. Geraldine Ferraro was lambasted for suggesting that Obama's race was to his advantage in beating Clinton. But I agreed with her, as far as I understood her comments correctly. His ethnicity makes me more inclined to vote for him. If we don't elect a black president this year, it will be a very, very long time before we ever elect a black president. Or a Chinese-American president, or a Jewish president, or a Mormon president and I could go on. The black cultural things about Obama make some people very nervous: his African-American church, for example, or the racially-charged thesis that his wife supposedly wrote at Princeton, or was it Yale? 1 There are way too many people, of all political parties, in this country who harbor biases t
