These Moments Are For Ever

I was in the kitchen about to make Ian's sandwich for lunch when this picture of him smiling a silly grin and Dyllie smiling a sheepish one popped up on the laptop's slideshow. It's so cute and funny, it just stopped me in my tracks as I realized "wow, that picture, that funny moment, is for ever."

It's no wonder then I wish my life would never end as we know it will on this here Earth. I suspect the memories - those captured in pictures and those not - are for ever imprinted on my soul though and will always be with "me" - whatever form that may be - no matter what. I sure do hope so anyway because those boys, those sweet, pure, cool souls, are the greatest thing I have ever been so privileged to behold and be a part of. They are more than my dream. They are everything. Love you boys!!!! XOXO

More Reason

The latest fiasco by both the Clintons of saying Hillary will have Obama as Vice-President is just ludicrous. Can you imagine being in first place and being so disregarded? These people will stop at nothing and it shows you why so many hate them so much. They're so arrogant. The whole thing simply gives me more reason (in addition to his BEAUTIFUL writing in his book Dreams of My Father) to support my man.

I do love Barack's response. He's very diplomatic about it yet very clear. He said:

"Sen. Clinton is fighting hard. She's tenacious. I respect her for that. She is working hard to win the nomination. But I want everybody to be absolutely clear. I'm not running for vice president. I'm running for president of the United States of America," Obama told supporters during a rally in Columbus, Mississippi.

If anyone should be suggesting vice presidential candidates, it should be him, Obama said.

"With all due respect. I won twice as many states as Sen. Clinton. I've won more of the popular vote than Sen. Clinton. I have more delegates than Sen. Clinton. So, I don't know how somebody who's in second place is offering vice presidency to the person who's in first place," he said. Watch Obama downplay talk of 'dream ticket' »

Obama also said the Clinton campaign was "hoodwinking" voters when it suggested he was not ready to be president while also floating the possibility of a joint Clinton-Obama ticket.

"I don't understand," he said. "If I'm not ready, how is it that you think I should be such a great vice president?"

Makes me love him all the more. :-) Besides, any man who can write such amazing words about his becoming both personally and professionally as he did in that memoir of his has not only my vote but my heart just soul-to-soul, you know? It is poetry, that book ... absolutely beautiful!
