Down with the DNC...

Yes folks, it has happened. I will whine openly about the DNC messing up my life.

A. I wanted to change my flight home this weekend to go Friday night instead of Saturday morning. Nope. DNC people are leaving that day causing the charge to change flights to be $569 per person. PER PERSON FOR A ONE DAY CHANGE! Are you kidding me? Ugh.

B. Traffic was a mess today. Not so much on my way to work, but I got really sick of hearing about it on the radio. Everything downtown is closed. Stay home. Thank you.

C. A radio station that I like actually changed their name to "Jackass" during the convention. Are you kidding me? I can hardly listen to you idiots swear over and over again in jest. I will be boycotting it until next week. Idiots.

D. The Park Meadows shopping area was swarming with people on a Monday night. Are you kidding me? What need to do you have for the Container Store's products when you're in town covering the DNC? Bah!

Speaking of the Container Store...I came up with a very "green" idea for Kylie's goodie bags to give out at the hotel: Reusable lunch bags! They are the colors of her wedding and will be filled with treats for each guest room. (Proud, Cortny? I know you probably hate the rest of my post. I will say your t-shirt was cute even if I don't agree with who you're advertising!) My Mom hadn't gotten enough of the lunch bags so I hurried in to get more and 2-day them to Upland. (I wish I could ship myself to Upland for $10!) Happy wedding week, Nick and Kylie! Enjoy! :)

Jackson has had some positive news on the work front. Fingers crossed and prayers said- please. He also has a really nasty bee sting that he is battling. Poor kid.

An update on my little fender bender: The lady was totally nice about the whole thing so I got her an edible arrangement today. She loved it and had even forgotten her lunch so it was perfect! Yay!

I am off to watch The Hills and Exciled on Mtv. I'm really excited to see the girls from Sweet 16 get sent to foreign lands to work! Haha! I'm bummed that the Olympics are over and I didn't get to watch one single swimming event with Bluey. :( Maybe in 2012?

Even though I will be watching much of the DNC on TV with interest, I don't blame you!! I would not want all that commotion and craziness. Especially when I'm trying to fly home!! Yuck. I'll allow you -- just this once -- to be a little bit bitter. Btw, all the dems were probably at the container store b/c they are super smart and know that the container store is AWESOME!! Love it.

WOW I love the new look! Jackson didn't want a blog of his own, huh? Does this mean when you are in school he will keep us up on the news in Denver? I hope so! I enjoy reading it every morning.
Be careful in all the madness, maybe staying at home is a good idea however; I appreciate your venture to the Container Store for additional bags. I have been meaning to tell Cortny about our "green" gift, I too thought she'd be proud of us for at least thinking about it!
Have a great day! I love you and miss you. See you in a few days!!!!!! :-)
