I think this is important enough to share.

A video that I think we should all watch and think on. Things like this affect more people than you might imagine. My son, for example. And my daughter, when she is old enough to choose the person that she wants to spend her life with.


"Fidelity": Don't Divorce... from Courage Campaign on Vimeo.

There is a petition, until February 14th. The link is HERE. Do something about this, please go and sign the petition, then call your governors office. The US is so far behind the UK in terms of equal rights for LGBTQ (Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgendered, and Questioning) persons. The US is even further behind the vast majority of Europe. Every family deserves an opportunity to have the same rights, and when enough people stand up and defend the equality of ALL people, then change will come.

And did I mention it's BLEEPING COLD?!?!?!?!

So I hope all of you are basking in the warmth right now, because I'm freezing! This storm is coming across from Siberia and waging cold war here (heehee-cold war) but honestly, I think if I wanted to have weather from Siberia I would have moved there. I'm wearing a shirt AND a heavy turtleneck sweater, the hot water bottle giraffe (his name is Jonah, for future reference) is my best friend, and I have my dead sheep (the grey fuzzy slippers that Ashley swears looks like I cut the feet off of a sheep, hollowed them out, and stuck my feet in them... but MAN are they warm!) on my feet, and I'm still cold.

COLDCOLDCOLDCOLDCOLDCOLDCOLDCOLDCOLDCOLDCOLD!

And did I mention COLD?!

But my lesson plans are done, not just for tomorrow, but Tuesday also, and I have the whole week well planned in my head, which means I should absolutely rock on Wednesday when I have my major important observation.

Oh, and Happy SuperBowl.

Oh, and Paula's new-and-improved-she-swears website is linked on the sidebar, and she has some new paintings. *drool* If only I had $2000 lying around not being used.
