Bravo<\/b>
\nI just want to say, even though I didn’t vote for President Bush (and when forced to choose sides I lean a lot more towards being Democrat than Republican), that was one heck of a speech last night. I know, he didn’t write it, but that’s not the point. At the very least, he approved it as the message he wanted to send to us and to the rest of the world. It’s obvious that he’s not going to go and indiscriminately bomb the already devastated Afghani people, which was something I was a bit worried about. And it’s also obvious that he’s not going to just turn the other cheek. All in all, I’m feeling pretty comfortable about our current leadership. Which is a big surprise even to me!<\/p>\n
I listened to the speech while baking pumpkin cookies. Mmmm. Except the recipe yielded a lot less than I remembered, so I can’t totally pig out on them before the shower or I won’t have enough. Next time, I’ll quadruple the recipe instead of just doubling it. It’s a good thing I doubled it, or I’d have to make another batch before tomorrow! I also made artichoke dip and pepper-filled peppers. I finished the spinach phyllo triangles the night before. I’ve just got the last minute things like pasta and punch to make tomorrow. Poor Denis is so disappointed that guys don’t come to bridal showers – I’m making all this yummy food, and he’ll just have to hope there are leftovers. :)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
