Super Bowl!
So I'm kinda of a fan of football and I happen to really enjoy watching the Super Bowl. It's not even necessarily about the football. I love the commercials and the snacks and the hanging out with family thing. All that means I'm kind of excited for today's game. It should be a good time and maybe I'll win something in the little Super Bowl pool. Probably not though, I never win. Oh well I'm off to shower so I can go to the party here shortly. :D Go Steelers!

Yay!
In case you couldn't tell from previous posts I'm kind of a fan of Obama. So I just wanted to take a second here to share with you the joy I felt today while watching him give his inaugural address. I'm super happy that he is now our President and I look forward to watching him work, while keeping my fingers crossed that he can fix some of the problems we are facing right now. It will not be easy but I think it can be done, eventually.

Snow
I can't believe I woke up this morning to like 6 inches of snow on the ground. It's only the 2nd week of October! Craziness. I hope this doesn't mean that fall is over because fall is totally my favorite season.
On an unrelated note I read this totally sweet little article this morning. It brought a tear to my eye. I think all of you should check it out. =) Holocaust Love Story Have a fantastic snowy day!

Baby Baby
So I was reading this article today about surrogate mothers it made me think that it would be a pretty cool thing to do. http://www.newsweek.com/id/129594
I mean it would take a lot for someone to make that kind of sacrifice no sacrifice isn't quite the right word. Maybe selfless gift is a better way to put it. I don't know it just gives me an awesome respect for humanity that there are people in the world who would be willing to give birth to someone else's child.
I would like to think that I am that type of person. I say I would like to because I'm not sure I am that type of person. I mean I think I'm a good person but I don't know if have that capacity for giving and being selfless. I think it would probably depend on if I had children of my own or not. I would think that maybe it would be easier to detach if I could differentiate between the child I'm having for me and the child I would be having from someone else. But I don't know I often have trouble seeing myself as a mother so I think it might make it easier for me to do that for someone if I knew I wasn't going to have my own kids.
Anyway the reason for this rambling post is that I think it's really cool that people do this and I think I could see myself doing it if conditions were right in my life. I don't know what would make those conditions right but I think maybe someday if the opportunity arose I could totally see myself doing it.
