Nicky's New Room

Nicky's room has always had tan walls.

A cute room with tan walls, lots of windows, red accents and toys everywhere.

One day he asked me why he didn't have pretty colorful walls like everyone else.

Gulp.

Here is our remedy.

First add green.

Then have artistic Daddy create some trees on each side of the window.

Snuggle in for the night.

Sweet Dreams, Little Man.

Let the Games Begin!

It us upon us; one of my favorite ever events.

The Olympics.

What greek doesn't get excited about the Olympics??

And this year it is in Vancouver, Canada.

So, my Grecian roots and my Canadian roots are screaming from within. I am so excited.

So, let's go back to Olympia, and see how it all began...

The drama, amid the ruins of the site of the ancient Olympic Games, was lit in the Temple of Hera by an actress playing a high priestess.

She said a prayer to Apollo, the Greek god of the sun, asking him to "send your rays and light the sacred torch for the hospitable City of Vancouver."

With the presentation of an olive branch and the release of a white dove, the torch departed with a Greek runner, the start of a seven-day historic relay though Greece.

The torch was then handed over to Vancouver 2010 officials and flown to Canada for a 45,000 kilometer, 106-day trek criss-crossing the country.

Let the Games Begin!!!

What's My Job?

In an interview with Diane Sawyer, President Obama stated that his job is to,

"solve problems and help people..."

Really? I kind of thought that he had a nobler obligation.

When a president takes the oath of office, he/she swears,

"I do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will faithfully execute the office of President of the United States, and will to the best of my ability, preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States."

Maybe he should have read the WHOLE job description before applying for the position of

Commander-in-Chief.

Tonight is the State of the Union Address. Good thing I have lots of great stuff recorded on my DVR!!
