I'm pro-abortion. In the real world, it's a great choice for a lot of people. Of course I wish human behavior and contraception methods were perfect, but they aren't. And people I know who have had abortions don't think they were horrible.

I don't recall the last time Australia was as ill-served by its politicians.

billytea, I assume you've seen the thing where some wacko said they were moving to Australia because their president is a man who lives his Christian values or some shit?

Stay strong and have fun, sarameg!

Guide is a lovely gent ( notlikethat)

Uh huh.

Also, I slept so late I missed the early movie! And now have to hustle to make it to the vet's office before they close! I mean, I guess sleep is good, but that was ridiculous.

...and I just unfriended someone on Facebook for sharing some Americans for Romney link and then adding her own commentary that "this is just how Hitler got started."

She was annoying during the election, but seriously? It's not even that I'm offended by her invoking Godwin; it's that such a statement is SO DAMN IGNORANT.

I never get to sleep in when I'm dog sitting. Well, okay, the St. B woke me up at 4:30 and I put him out for a while, then let the Golden out, and then managed to go back to sleep by listening to an audiobook over the occasional barking of the Golden. BAH.

So ready to be done with this. I love the St. Bernard, he's really a good-tempered dog, but he's a real burden to deal with. Demanding and loud.

And I'm now down three pairs of socks since this gig started: but at least the Golden didn't eat one of the new socks I bought last weekend to replace the ones she'd already eaten...

Cereal:

You all are not doing much to make me reconsider my no-Facebook stance. I haven't logged in there since sometime last spring, I think...

Oh Sara, that sounds incredibly frustrating. Can your brother and SIL or your mom help back you up, or are they too busy with their own stuff? Also, what someone else said about discussing concerns with your mom. I can only hope this vacation turns into the same fun touve had on other family vacations, eh? :)

I am awake. But may go bak to sleep. It is so warm in my bed and so freezing outside it, I don't want to get up.

Sheesh, Jesse, I need to remember I have 11:00 tickets for Skyfall. Seats were more taken for a first matinee than I've seen in a while.

After I buy my ticket for the wedding, I clearly need to work out where I'm seeing The Hobbit, and get on that or I'm going to be SHAFTED.

But first, I need to go buy cereal. It seems I cannot keep a week's worth in the house. DELICIOUS.

And I also bout 2 taster ounces of Teavana's Youthberry flavoured white tea and I can't get enough of this. Not today, though. Well...not before the movie, anyway. Walking past Teavana on my way back to my car is proving I'm weak.

You all are not doing much to make me reconsider my no-Facebook stance.

All of my Facebook people are fine! But my family is Democrats on both sides, and I did grow up in Massachusetts, so.

And my Hitler person is someone from high school whose friend request I accepted back in the day because, why not? And then the election happened.

I'm pro-abortion in the same way I'm pro-open-heart-surgery and pro-colonoscopy. I don't think everyone should run out and have one for fun this weekend, but as medical procedures go, I'm very very glad they're legal and available for the people who need them.
