day 13 – the word on the street

Day 13

“The Word on the Street”
Tuesday, 9/16/08

Shirt: Obama Mama 08 – can be purchased through CafePress. You might notice that I ordered this one in a different style. This is the fitted jersey and I am excited to have a few shirts (you’ll see more of them soon) that are fitted enough that I can dress them up a bit if needed. Just fyi on sizing, I wear a medium in non-fitted styles and a large in fitted. So size up if you are ordering any of the fitted styles.

Where:
1. Playing in the parks – we had to go to two different parks because the first (where photo was taken) was hit badly by the wind storm a few night ago. Lots of damage to trees, so it wasn’t really safe for playing. This is the park were L and I were married, and now we take G there for the playground. At any rate, we left and went to a different playground that is not in a wooded area. We stayed, played, and talked with the other parents. No mention of politics from them, but L and I talked about this Jill Greenberg photo shoot. L says there has been a lot of discussion about it on some photojournalism lists he’s subscribed to. I think it’s safe to say she crossed a line here, but maybe I’m overly sensitive since seeing the photos of crying children she used for her anti-Bush exhibit.

day 5 – the word on the street

Day 5

“The Word on the Street”
Monday, 9/8/08

Shirt: Obama Mama – available at Cafe Press.

Where:
1. Meditation Class – honestly, I’ve never meditated before and the entire experience was a little freaky for me (and most of my classmates). No worries though, I’m going to keep with it. Many of the others in class said they couldn’t shut off the noise in their own heads. Sure hope it wasn’t politics related noise. I know sometimes I hear that “drill it” chant in my head, and it’s part of the reason I need to meditate.
