Stylin' in The Desert

I'm just wondering - I mean I know that Annie and Caroline and Amy and Tatum and Erin and Elaine and Catherine's mom sometimes do. But it sort of seems like last year's thing. So many of us seem to be doing something else. I've been knowing that I should write something new, but for the life of me.... what is there to write about? Nothing funny has happened for me lately. School has robbed me of any real life for the last two months. And political commentary is boring. So what is left? I could write about selling our home of 23 years, but that is so sad to me. I could write about going to college again after swearing 30 years ago that I never would, but I'm almost done now and I survived. I could write about getting to see my two beauties and my son in love this week for Easter, but there isn't much to say except that I can't wait. I could just sign off and stop the madness. But I love reading the things that you say - even the really hard and sad things. There is something about knowing what you are struggling with that makes me feel part of your lives still. So please don't stop writing even if blogging is last year's thing.

Late on Friday afternoon, after the evening news shows, and without the presence of any press, President Obama quietly and seemingly in secret, signed an executive order reinstating federal funding for organizations who perform abortions in developing countries.

He had promised during the campaign to do this during the first week of his presidency. Groups who promote and perform abortions in poor countries expressed delight in the reversal of the policy of the Bush administration.

Nancy Pelosi said the new policy "will help save lives and empower the poorest women and families to improve their quality of life and their future."

Your money and mine will now be used to kill babies around the world.

Just thought you'd want to know.
