fall colors

Just some shameless self promotion going on here at substances. You can find photos of our home (finished or not) over at apartment therapy competing in the fall colors contest!!!...more info and directions to follow.

mark your calendars

Remember this? Well on November 15th, 2008 at 10am Eastern/Pacific (that's 9am for you mom), Dave and I will go from just being your average couple to HGTV television stars! Ok well maybe not stars, but we'll be on television! Please, please everyone out there remember there might be editing involved and we're not sure exactly how we will be 'portrayed' so keep your laughter to a light chuckle. Also if someone wants to tape it so Dave and I can watch, that would be swell... we don't have cable.

rules of the game

I'll have to thank the king for cluing me into the blog "1001 rules for my unborn son" . It's definitely worth a visit if you haven't been...some of my personal favorites listed below.

140. Never sit down on a ball field. Take a knee.
215. After lighting a firecracker, Stand back.
220. Until you are a doctor, never answer your phone at the table.

obsession

Some gals like shoes... I have a soft spot for bags.  Do I need another one, probably not, but do I love this one. Yes!

A B....

i had a dad in nevada

Ok. Not really....but apparently Nevadan's are particular about the pronunciation of their state name. It's Ne-va-da. Not Ne-vay-da, nor Ne-vaah-da. I had a dad in Nevada. How do I know this you ask? Well let me tell you. I spent all day Saturday registering and canvassing voters in the great state of Nevada for the Obama Campaign, Drive for Change. Nevada is a battleground state in the '08 election having gone Republican in the past two elections by a mere 25,000 votes. Living in California they consider it our sister state so any volunteers that are willing are moved to Nevada to help the campaign there. Now this isn't a blog to get you to vote one way or another but merely to motivate you to get involved. I had an AMAZING time and met some great people (Republican and Democrat). I truly believe, especially after Saturday there is no easier way to be an American than to get out the vote!

See ya in November!
