This is my 26th
It's been a BUSY & challenging week,
This is my 26th
It's been a BUSY & challenging week, ... yet enjoyable in many ways as well.
1. Thanks to everyone who left 'remedy suggestions' and 'well-wishes' while I dealt with a lingering sinus headache for several days last week. Fortunately, the weather has shifted from dry to damp ... finally! My it's a thing of the past at the moment and I'm hoping we get some measurable rain out of the storm cell off the coast of Southern California because we do need it.2. Have you seen this hilarious dance video featuring facsimiles of both McCain & Obama? I can't help but wonder how they DO this kind of thing because it looks so realistic.
3. I've not had time or opportunity to do much blog visiting this week so I don't have my usual 'smiley' links to share ... but if you've not yet seen it, I encourage you to click to check out the Andrew Zuckerman video: Wisdom ... It's well worth your time!
4. Of course I've been participating in Blog 365 all of 2008 ...
... so it seemed natural to participate in NaBloPoMo again this November ... just because.

5. I hope you've thought about making a Peace Globe and participating in the upcoming 5th Blog Blast for Peace on November 6th. If you need some help adding text to the graphic, let me know and I'll be happy to help out. If you haven't heard about it or need details, click to read my post about it and/or find more details by clicking the logo at the top of my sidebar.
6. I've voted ... have you?
Here in California we had 'early voting' from October 19th-28th ... so I went to the polls at the local City Hall Thursday afternoon to cast my ballot. It feels good to have done this early, and if you have that option where YOU live ... (and you've decided how to cast your votes on all the candidates & ballot measures) ... I encourage you to do so. I feel so relieved on a personal level.
Now my only remaining challenge is to remain calm in the face of all that is beyond my control. Currently my walking meditation is that people will vote with 'intention' rather than out of 'fear' ... with the kind of America they envision for the future in mind. I believe that together we CAN make a difference ;--)
If you're still undecided on candidates or ballot measures & need additional information, here are some links to assist.
Once you've cast your ballot, go to Mommy Wizdom's and sign the Mr. Linky there to participate in the Election Night Blog Party 2008! Click for details.Click for others participating in Smiley Saturday.

Lovely dog. That first shot could also be used for Shadow Shot Sunday, couldn't it?
Did you check out Planet Ollie-wood's Oct.31st post? Take a look.

Looks like Molly has a boyfriend!
Just catching up on your entries for this week, I've been so busy lately! I hope you are feeling better! I Hope you had a great Halloween and are enjoying the weekend :-)
Glad you are feeling better! Excellent post. I did vote, in fact. I did. Sorry that I have but one vote to give!!
Nice that they socialize so well. Cute!
So cute together.
Hi Storyteller:-)
I just wanted to come by and thank you so very much for coming to my Halloween Bash yesterday...I do hope you had a fun time!! I think I'm still recovering from it all! lol
I had never seen that video before...how funny it is and as you say, makes you wonder how they do that! lol
Hope your weekend is going well:-) xox
It's nice to have dog friends. Yep, I voted. BJ
What a beautiful dogs and look like they were having fun.
Rusty and Molly are both beautiful. Rusty reminds me of a dog that my grandfather had on the farm. His name was Nipper because when he brought the cows in at night, he would nip at their heels. He did this from the time he was a puppy. I'm sure Molly enjoys his visits. Dogs are very social animals most of the time.
Can you believe that Ontarians were searching high and low for Obama masks. They were going for about $150 a clip. McCain masks weren 't popular at all.
Take care and enjoy the rest of the weekend.
Blessings,
Mary
Awwwww! *waving* Hi Rusty! Nice to meet you! You are so very handsome... you got a little crush on my friend Molly? eh? hehehe
As always, I especially enjoy your pet photos.
Glad you're feeling better, and hope you get some rain . . . SOON!
lovely dog...
thanks for ur visit
Love Rusty and Molly! They're cute together.
But, but....that photo/video of McScary just literally left me speechless. Ewwwwww. Sorry.
Cute pics!
Love the dogs visiting. :)
We don't have early voting here in PA, but I'll be going as soon as hubby gets home from work on Tuesday. This is the first election he's ever voted in, so it's a big deal for us. :) I FINALLY convinced him, with a little help from our local State Representative, how important it is. Dragging him to all these political events has opened his eyes to the real difference between the parties.
I LOVED the video!! That is great!!
Yep, we voted. :)
