I was very irritated to discover today that although Washington State has a primary, the Democratic party does not regard the results of that primary in allotting their candidates -- that is all done through a (not well publicized) caucus a week earlier.
I guess I can finally vote for a Green in a national election with a clear conscience.
The Ron Paul signs are *everywhere* in our part of Seattle. (Except for the corners owned by the LaRouchies) Until I found out who he was, my mind kept hopefully misreading them as RuPaul for President.
#5: When teaching our little girls to wash their hands, we've been going for two verses of "Mary had a little lamb."
My dayjob is at least partially in the wedding industry (production manager at a wedding/portrait photography studio), and I've got to say, the weddings where everyone was clearly having the most fun have ranged all over the budget map, from the extravagant billionaire's elegant soiree to the totally DIY do a local designer had in the backyard (most steal-able idea: replace huge wedding cake with a tiny cake for symbolism and a sundae bar for dessert.) What I usually tell prospective brides, especially the ones frightened by our top packages, is that if you blow your budget, you won't be happy, and we like happy customers; they tend to come back later for family portraits. So never be ashamed of having a budget and sticking to it.
The downside of working in the industry is that it makes me want to throw a big wedding-esque party to clebrate our (non-legal) vows, because I get to see all the cool things people come up with. But I should probably just put money into my daughters' college funds instead.
