What I Would Have Done This Morning if Employed by a Democratic Ad Agency

1. Turned on the news and said, "He nominated who?!?!"
2. Freaked out. A lot.
3. Read Palin's bio a bit more.
4. Calmed down.
5. Got to work creating a commercial depicting Palin as a cross between Dick Cheney and Dan Quayle. Married to Larry the Cable Guy. End it with a more creative tag line than "Is this really who you want an old guy's heartbeat away from the White House?" (This is why I do not work for an ad agency)
6. Gone out for drinks on an expense account.

Things I thought while watching the Olympics

1. We're getting rid of baseball and softball, but BMX is getting an Olympic berth? Seriously?
   
2. Maybe people in the US would take water polo more seriously if the headgear didn't tie under your chin in a cute little bow.
3. There is no way she is 16!
4. I could so totally do that.

And then I fell off the couch laughing and hurt myself.

Ways I have hurt myself in the last two days

1. Smashing my finger in a door.
2. Getting huge blisters on both my pinky toes from uncomfortable shoes.
3. Falling down the stairs carrying a load of laundry.

I'm almost scared to get out of bed today.
