George Bush has said many times in the previous year that we weren't in a recession...and he may have been right. I say we're not in one now. Why? Because the fact of saying it or thinking it seems to drive markets down. If one starts a recession in their mind, then will not their body follow?
I also say this because we just recently had the Haverty's truck back up to our house and just empty out it's contents. Jenifer might give me a look on that one but it's furniture we desperately needed. We got a new sofa/chair set and Jenifer added new curtains and i think our living room is very stylish now... The only problem is that we have a dining room full of toys and neither of us wants to move them back in the living room. I sometimes wish we could pack up our dining room and make it our playroom. I don't think a single one of us will miss it and the kids could do some damage to that room and we could just sit in the living room sipping on rum and braiding each others hair....ok, where the hell did that come from? Colin got some new bedroom furniture and last night slept the entire night in his own room. APPLAUSE.
We also added a kitchen table that gives us more room for spilled and smeared oatmeal and leaky milk cups. Yes, America. We are driving this economy. Where the hell are you at?
The election is just a few days away and i'm pretty torn. I so desperately want to vote for one candidate because i just feel like it is the right thing to do but there are issues that i do have with him. The "other" candidate i also really, really respect but i just don't know if i want to go down that road. We'll see what happens when i'm staring both names down in the voting booth. Natalie is voting for McCain and one big reason is because we were in Fayetteville and were stuck in traffic for about 20 extra minutes due to Obama appearing there. You can't win for losing, Barack...
We ended the week with the State Fair and i must say that Disneyworld is not a ripoff or too expensive.

My vote is to keep the toys in the dining room. Our house is so small and so overrun with kid stuff that I relegated one section of our living room for the play area. I try very hard to make sure toys stay in their rooms or in the kid area even if it means literally kicking the pile of infinite figures/games, Pokemon cards, etc to the that space. I'm always losin the battle tho.
I successfully avoided the State Fair by catching the Chatham County Fair about a month ago. It was smaller, cheaper, and the kids still got to eat junk, ride rides and get a toy after making a ball go in a basket.
Yeah..the fair was a last minute decision..sort of. It was ok.
We are putting a lot of toys in bonus room/office upstairs. We must keep as much out of living room as possible.
