Hi Everyone! Since my sister JENNY, and I are so super good at keeping up at our blogs (sarcasm) we decided to create another one! TRIAL AND ERRORhas been in production for a few weeks and trucking along smoothly. Since Jenny and I live forever apart- we find that we don’t always find time to tell each other about everyday trail and errors in our lives. SO WE MADE A BLOG! DUN DUN DUN!

After I am done with this blog I will be writing the conclusion to my trial of buying prescription glasses on line. COME ON OVER!

This weekend was pretty amazing. Halloween was really fun. Ella was a fairy from the new Tinkerbell movie- Rosetta (because the costume was pink- where the Tinkerbell costume was green). We went to my cousins house for dinner and treatin’ around the neighborhood. My goodness, her two boys were/are adorable! Ella had a blast and really only had a couple pieces of candy that night! I’ll try to get some pictures up of Ella and Ziggy (he was a bee!) tonight.

I canvassed with Matt’s organization on Saturday while Ella went to her best friends house for the day. For anyone who doesn’t know what canvassing is- it is basically door to door organizing. Organizations canvass for environmental causes, local causes and in Matt’s job case- political organizing. I walked all day reminding people to vote for Barack Obama and Al Franken for Minnesota’s Senate race. Canvassing is tough- you have to get creative when you need to pee, and alot of people are very rude at the doors. Please be cool with a canvasser if they come to your door. They are just doing their job!

I am nervous about tomorrow and really excited. We will see what happens with the race. To tell you the truth- I am probably looking more forward to having my husband around again than anything else. He has been so absorbed in this race both professionally and personally he is going to have to do some Political Detox after Tuesday. And while I don’t know who is going to win this election- I do know I can handle anything that happens tomorrow with Matt by my side.

VOTE!

I have something I need to address. I have noticed it before and I need to bring it up. I am a pretty big lady- and recently bought some big lady underwear. Why do underwear companies think that just because someone has a big ass that it means they have a big crotch? The crotch in these underwear are out of control and uncomfortable! The first time I notice this oddity was a few years ago when some feminine products company tried to market Plus Size pads. BIG HUGE PADS for BIG HUGE CROTCHES. Thank goodness they are off the market now. If anything- plus size women have smaller crotches because of our big thighs. Maybe Oprah can fund a Public Service Annoucement about the offensive size of Plus Size underwear crotches. This cannot go on any longer. Really, its a discrimination of our crotches. Thank you- I hope my big lady crotch post was scary enough for the holiday.
