I'm finding with this economic thing... the best way to talk about it... is just to quote people so... um... how's THIS for a head scratcher?
Barack Obama on Tuesday stepped up his advocacy for the Bush Administration’s $700 billion bailout plan

So... c'mon... breathe a sigh of goodness and light with me real quick...
*sigh*
To get away from politics for a nano second (cause you KNOW I'll be right back into it with the debates coming up... which should prove to be HYSTERICAL (Biden has been advised to keep it civil and "be nice to the poor defenseless woman" and Palin has been advised to remind people what they love about her as the "spunky" "fiesty" "frontier woman" who "stuck it to the good ole boys"... and come out swinging).
Ohhhh... and in honor of the "spunky" and "fiesty" ladies of LJ *coughs*beth&donna*coughs* I created a "Liberal Chicks Kick Ass" Shirt! lol... While there, I made a bunch of other "donkey" inspired images (with more to come this week as we get them up there)... because... well... just because *I* am pro-Palin and a number of feminists and "women first" advocates are supporting Palin... doesn't mean that the liberal women should be left out. Ya'll kick ass and have all of my respect and props for fightin and bitchin and making sure to find all the info you can... and not just voting Obama to "run with the cool kids".

anyway... dammit... wanted to talk about other things and STILL got swept into politics... lol
Sooooo... things on the "farm" are still rolling swimmingly... all of the roomies are getting along famously... the dishes are getting done with no one whining or complaining... laundry is getting done... sometimes... grin... but... that's a personal matter... not a communal matter, so... that's up to the individual... hang out time has been great! We have had friends over... they have had friends over... and all the groups seem to mess quite goodly :D
And... once again tonite... we are going to the animal auction!
Cher is Hell Bent on a pot bellied pig and a rabbit (for Jos)... but... I ain't gettin SHIT until after the winter... (have any of ya'll seen A Knight's Tale?... there's a line in that movie about them living like commoners and he asks "...even with the pigs inside in the winter so they don't freeze?"... I keep thinking of that as I keep thinking of holding off for warmer whether before "adding to the indigenous population"... lol
BUT
That said... this weekend IS our anniversary... yep... god knows how many Octobers ago... we got all likr'd up and took that there plunge... (we will be celebrating this weekend (the actual date is tomorrow (the 2nd) but we celebrate it the weekend of the Delmarva FolkFest every year because that's where we got married (hmmm... weren't far from the country life back then either, huh? lmao)))... so... ifn we see a pig cute enough and reasonable enough (what would ya'll pay for a PET PIG? LMAO! I'm thinking no more than 30, right?)... I think I'll get it for her for our anniversary... and... obviously... if there is a peacock for less than 40 bucks... that bitch is MINE! grin
welp... there's the farm update... I will have an art update VERY soon
YEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH HHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA! <:

I am now the proud owner of not ONE... but TWO peacocks!!!!
yepper!
I know they aren't the most "farm" type animal you could buy... but ever since we ended up with this much land I have thought.... "This place needs a peacock!"
I thought about getting one of the "typical" ones... the blue and green and brown... but... tonite I walked in there and saw this white one... and it popped it's cute lil head up out of the box and he had the most BEAUTIFUL blue eyes and I went "omg... mommy... can I keep it?"
in the box was also a brown and white one... not as "pretty" but I think the brown one is cuter... has a real personality and it let me play with it more
well... by the time we finished with the pig auction (they only had ONE pot belly, but I decided today that it didn't matter the cost, I was getting Cher a pig for our anniversary... (LMAO... how frikin perverse is THAT? "we'd simple folk" lol... and it got to about 40 and a guy behind us goes, "you know it has a bum leg, right?"... um... no... thank you... stop bidding)... I was so prepared to spend whatever... and had all that time of standing around to bond with these damned animals... that I just had to have them.
sooooooooo
now I do!
We got a cage/pen thang for 5 bucks (big enough to fit ME in) for the bunnies we were hoping to get... and... ended up not getting (everyone wanted them for FOOD... yep... ick... so... they were going for 10-20 bucks... screw THAT!)... so... I brought the birds home and put them in that for tonite... to get them use to the idea that they LIVE HERE... then I plan to just allow them to wander the grounds and enjoy themselves :D
wooot!!!
I will have pix soon... cause... c'mon... how cool is it to own frikin peacocks??!?!?! I'll be shooting them like crazy
welp... nite
e
And... Cher... as it strikes Midnite...
HAPPY ANNIVERSARY... I love you :*
