Git 'er dun New Hampshire!!!
So during this phase in my life where all I do is work and lack much of a social life, I've been following election 2008 closely. I was encouraged yet terrified after Iowa voted Obama and Huckabee to first place. I loooove Obama...the i want his babies kind of love. As a woman though, as I'm sure all women feel, I'm a bit torn because I feel that I should vote for Hillary. She's a tough gal trying to make it in the male dominated world of politics and I say "you go girl!". I'll inform you all about what I actually decide to do. Now...Huckabee is the reason I'm completely terrified. Anyone who doesn't believe in evolution scares me initially, then after that to throw on the homophobia and anti-pro-choice (my term for pro-life)...I share absolutely no morals with this man. He can play bass though...I'll give him that! Ok, enough politics! I just hope New Hampshire does the right thing. I don't care if Hillary or Obama get first but I do ask that they stay away from Huckabee. I don't want the country thinking that this guy could actually win!
Alright then...so chris asked me to talk about the baby I nanny because everyone loves babies! His name is Toby and he is now 7 months old which means I've been taking care of him for half of his life. He's really friggin' cute and I promise to post a pic of him soon just to prove it to all of you. I nanny 20 hours a week because #1 I'm good at it and #2 no taxes. The one issue is going out with Toby. When I take him out I usually "wear" him, which means I strap him to the front of me. I do this instead of strolling him because the town of Newton doesn't plow their sidewalks and lifting an 18lb baby is easier than lifting the same baby in a 20lb stroller. So anywho...these Newton townspeople are a little bit snobby, and if you know me...you know that I look no older than 17. So whenever I take toby out I have to face an incredible amount of judgement, even though he is a little jewish baby and I'm of scottish/english decent. I really want to make a hat that basically says i'm a nanny and something to the effect of "shove your judgement up your a%&". If anyone has any design ideas, please email me at jlpep@conncoll.edu.
K that's all I can write for now because i have to go to work!!!! i'll report back soon!
