Let's Play "Election Crystal Ball"

I wonder what will happen next Tuesday, don't you? Where were you eight years ago? I remember staying up past 2 am watching Tim Russert {*sniff* I miss Tim.} tallying the electoral votes. I fell asleep on the couch, unable to turn off the TV and go to bed. I just knew that there was no way I would wake up and we wouldn't know who the next president was.

Is anyone else worried this election will make 2000 look like a cake walk? Each side has thousands of attorneys ready to roll, challenging the electoral process. Unless one candidate completely sweeps the country I predict spending most of November wondering who will win.

Obviously, no one knows what will happen next week, but let's look in our crystal ball. What do we *think* will happen?

My guess? It will be close. I unfortunately predict tons of lawsuits. We will have a winner by Thanksgiving. Of course, I am totally making this up. I have no idea what I am talking about, as usual.

Sound off, Friends of Fussy, what do you think will happen? Who will win? Will we know who won on election day? It'll be fun to come back and look at what we all said after the election. Now be nice to everyone else. This is my house and I kick out people who don't play nice.

So look in that Election '08 Crystal Ball and tell me what you think will happen next week. We'll see who had the best electoral psychic abilities 

Love, Alli

Name that Inappropriate Photo

There is just so much wrong here! Have fun with this one. So go Name that Inappropriate photo!

Love, Alli

**Quick Housekeeping Note**

I have a confession to make. I have not mailed out winning earrings for the contest in two months {cowers}. I think about it, I feel awful, I say, "I'll do it tomorrow." So now I'm in a hole. Halp!!

If you won a Name tht Photo contest please, please email me so I can apologize profusely and mail them A.S.A.P. {blush}

Fight the Frump- Baby fat & blogging butt!

I have a problem. Not the mold (hey, we move home this weekend!), not my ongoing war with the laundry pile, this is serious. I have a problem. It is a double whammy of trouble- baby fat & blogging butt.

That is right. I have left over baby fat from having bebe #5 in May, combined with a bad case of blogger butt. Apparently me wishing the pounds away is not working. Ignoring the problem seems not to be paying off.

During the day I try to eat healthily, but then the evenings... Yeah, you know where this is going... hubs pulls out the chips, the boys eat Hershey's kisses and I pour that lovely glass of red wine. My problem with wine isn't the calories, it is that after I have a glass, I'm all happy go lucky & the world is fabulous. I do not care that those chips & chocolate are bad for me.

So, it's up to you, I need to drop some serious poundage. Tell me how you do it? I need your tips, tricks and secrets.

Do not tell me to join a gym & here is why- the baby gets sick from nursery & they never have childcare for school age kids during the day. Plus, I can't drop any coin on a membership right now.

Also, can you not suggest eating less & exercising more? That is really boring and I won't do it. I know, I live with me.

Share your thoughts. Do you have weight troubles, too? How do you manage it. What do you recommend eating? And OK, just for the funny factor, what do you recommend doing for exercise with the 5 boys in tow?

Seriously, do you think attendees of the BlissDom conference will mind if I confiscate their cameras just to make sure no shots of my behind are accidentally in the background? Oh, won't work? Bummer.

Love you, Alli

PS. I send out evites today to pick the lucky 75 women who will get to attend the BlissDom conference! Email me if you would love an evite.

If you are Fighting the Frump with me, please leave your link in the comments! Sorry for my lack of Mr. Linky. It's on my list of things to fix! {grrrrrr} xoxo, A.

Voting, Funnies, Alan Greenspan and Fussy Q&A?

I want to add an honorable mention to Kim who submitted this (too long to fit in the poll) gem-

"Ma'am, I'm going to let you off with a fix-it ticket this time, but you really need to get those headlights taken care of before they cause an accident."

Now, start voting! Winner will be announced next week!

Stuff that makes me laugh-

Ok, I admit this next one, to me, is brilliant-

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

This would so be me. Poor dude.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Comment theme of the day is Fussy Q & A.

Everything you ever wanted to know about Mrs. Fussypants but were afraid to ask. You can ask anything you want, silly or serious, big or little. I'll pick a couple randomly and do a post next week. {If you would rather email me your question, that is cool, too!}

OK, y'all, have fun!

Love you immensely, Alli
