Me :"Oooohhhh noooooo!"
Vance: *sigh* "what, baby?"
"Patrick Swayze has pancreatic cancer!"
"Oh no."
"Can you imagine a world without Patrick Swayze?"
"I can try."

I realize I have not been updating the blog lately. I have been sick with what I thought was just the sniffles, and as I thought it was going away it turned into a full-blown five-alarm cold. I feel like I have been reincarnated into a small trash heap. What's worse is that Deven has caught it. Being a baby must be great, because I feel like crap and through his sneezing and runny nose he still manages to be a smiley, happy baby. Well, mostly. He ran a fever earlier and wasn't too happy about it.
Yesterday was the primaries. Clinton won Texas, which was surprising. I was looking at the counties and it turns out Obama won most of the big city counties. He took Austin, which didn't surprise me at all. I don't know why I am sitting here and addressing the Democrats. To me it's all blah blah, big spending, blah blah, environment, blah blah, fascism, blah...you get the idea. I voted Republican, and no, I am not proud of that. I participated in my first convention and it was quite fun. It was held in the lobby of the high school, the democratic convention on one side and us reds on the other. There was about 50 of the noisiest Democrats ever on the other side and about 7 of us on our side and nothing to divide us. Anyway, there were just enough of us to be elected delegates, so we are all to be sent to the county level on the 29th. The convention ran long. We had 12 resolutions and they all incited a debate, and that was the fun part. We had one guy there who was a true red, who brought up good points and kept the whole thing going. If it weren't for that then it would have been very boring, though it wouldn't have lasted 2 hours.
I totally look forward to the rest of the election process and even doing this again next round.
Man, I am a boring nerd.
Tonight Vance discovered another funny thing Deven does. Well, it's not actually funny to Deven but it's hilarious to us. Deven was trying to put Vance's finger in his mouth and he said "no" with a certain inflection and Deven stuck his bottom lip out and started bawling. It was the funniest thing ever. We're gonna try to get a video clip of it to show everyone.
I'm going to bed. I feel shitty and Deven needs to be put down anyway.
