McCain VP Pick

Just a quick blog about the choice of Sarah Palin for McCain’s running mate…
The choice of a female running mate on the GOP ticket is certainly a very interesting one.  But it’s very obvious that this was a choice made specifically to bring over disgruntled Hillary Clinton supporters.  For me, there seems no other way [...]

August 26th – Weekly Update

Update! Update! Another Update!
Here is a review of the exciting and not-so exciting things going on here at the House of Munhall.
1. We took Anna to the pediatric opthalmalogist on Wednesday to see if she has a lazy right eye.  After an hour and a half long appointment and three sets of eye drops to [...]

Number 5 – The Gibbons

Okay, back to the weird/interesting things about Dorrie list. Here’s number 5.
I am proud to say that once, I was hit in the head by an ape.
In college I majored in anthropology, which has a few areas from which to choose your focus.  Anthropology includes cultural anthropology – where you can do a Margaret Mead [...]

This Week’s Update

Here’s the news from my little corner from this last week (in no particular order).
1.  I’m over the cold thankfully.  I was well enough to attend a ladies night planned by ElleBee (thank you ElleBee!).  We hung out at The Hornet, talked, ate and drank cider (at least Ellebee and I drank cider).  It was [...]

Weird Thing No. 6 – You put that in your hair?

I’m a little embarrassed to say this, but around 9th grade I decided to join a synchronized swimming team with my best friend Sarah.  Yep, that’s right, I used to swim around making leg formations while holding my breath under water.  And no, I have no idea what I was thinking.

Being on a “synchro” team [...]

This Week’s Update

It’s Friday, August 8th (08/08/08 – how cool!) and I thought I would do another update on the goings on here.
1. I have been sick with a little cold that I think my nephew gave me this week.  Fortunately, I don’t think Anna has gotten it and hopefully will not get it – since there [...]

7 – Silence

I long for silence; I ache for it, but not for the reasons you might think.  I do not wish for quiet because of the crying baby, or the screaming cat, or the noise of the city.  I wish for it because even if I go to the quietest place on earth, it will not [...]

Number 8 – My Tattoo

I have a tattoo that I got in 3rd grade.  I was young and I got it without parental consent, but I didn’t have any choice.
One day while we had some free time in Mr. Smith’s 3rd grade class, my friend Torrey and I were playing pencil wars.  I’m not sure if everyone else did [...]
