David Letterman’s Take On John McCain
If you did not see this last night on David Letterman, you definitely need to watch this video (edited: grabbed wrong video):
I’ve never seen him take such a stand before. However, I don’t blame him for being ticked. McCain canceled last minute on him and left him hanging for a guest. The best part is that the reason he told Dave was a complete lie (He went and did an interview with Katie Couric instead!). They also bring up some good points in their bantering of why McCain suspended his campaign. In case you miss it, it is to force one of the debates to be canceled. And which debate do you think would be canceled? Oh yeah, the vice president one. The one that would show Palin to be unqualified as she is. He also asks why Palin couldn’t just take over campaigning right now? If she can’t be trusted to campaign, how can we trust her the country.
Let me know what you think of the video.

Izeafest: Night 3 – IzeaHunt
I would like to say that I was sober for the entire time I was at Izeafest. I ended up as the driver 2 out of the 3 nights, and I really don’t believe in drunk driving. That being said I did do the IzeaHunt without anything alcohol in me. We had to do a ton of wild and crazy things. What was at stake? A $100 gift card for Home Depot for all of us. When money is on the line, well, you do crazy things. Honestly I wish I would have brought some other outdoor clothing with. My clothes were almost destroyed from this scavenger hunt. It took several washings once I got home to get the shaving cream and chocolate sauce out!
For some reason, I cannot find my team photos on Flickr at all. What I will do is show you some of the other teams instead. You will see how crazy this really did get:
Ohh I take that back, I did find one and you can’t see me (yeah! — I’m in the blue shirt):
Ok, we had to do crazy things like take a picture with a 6’5″ person, make a human sundae, get pineapple and a potato, walk somebody else’s dog, etc. There was 4 pages of things, and we only had about an hour to try and do as much as we could. One of the more crazy things we had to do was find a toilet seat and bring it back. I think Ted was the only one who was able to do that! Unfortunately, my team did not win. However, it was still a ton of fun!
After the hunt was over, we all took a break, sat down, talked, and ate some great food. I was able to sit down and talk to Cass and Sean Jackson. It was hard to believe that I was going to be hopping on a plane the next morning and heading back home (what I didn’t know at this time was that Chicago had gotten record levels of rain and my yard was literally a swimming pool. The water in my yard was up to my knees!). We were able to compare notes and just enjoy ourselves.

Basements and Barstools
I know that my husband is just dying to put a bar in our newly remodeled basement. That was a plan he always had since we moved here. Premiere Barstools has so many choices for anyone who is looking for counter stools, extra tall stools, or kitchen bar stools. They have an excellent selection for all of those.
Like I said, I personally am looking to surprise my husband with some bar stools for the basement. Now, I cannot decide if something classic like this:
would work best or if something more pretty would be in store. I found an excellent deal on something like this:
I guess it will probably come down to what kind of bar he decides to build. With having little ones, a lot of extra things come into play. As for the first stool, I would be worried about the stool having no back. Whereas, on the second stool, I would be worried that Will (my one year old) would use this chair as a climbing challenge (Yes, for some reason he has started the climbing stage after he learned to walk!). However, the second chair is about $85 which is a great price for barstools. Plus, whenever we get around to remodeling kitchen, these would look nice there. I have a huge kitchen (I think it is 15 x 15), so at some point we are going to remodel it. We may add in an island, and those stools would look awesome there too! Decision, decisions . . .
Do you have barstools in your house? What kinds did you go with? Did where they were going make a difference to which ones you got? Do you use the barstools as extra seating when company is over? I know, lots of questions, but I have never bought these before!
