Freedom of Speech...only if you agree with us!

When I was scanning the news websites this morning I saw the headlines about Miss California. During the contest a celebrity judge, Perez Hilton, asked her, "Vermont recently became the fourth state to legalize same-sex marriage. Do you think every state should follow suit? Why or why not?"

She answered, "I think it's great that Americans are able to choose one or the other. We live in a land that you can choose same-sex marriage or opposite marriage and, you know what, in my country and my family I think that I believe that a marriage should be between a man and a woman. No offense to anyone out there but that's how I was raised and that's how I think it should be between a man and a woman."

Now it definitely could have been worded better but I admire her for saying it. The Perez lashed out on his web site calling her names and so on. I saw all the comments and I decided to read them even though I am not sure why. I was surprised to see that the majority of the comments were in support of Miss California. They were in support of her right to have her own opinion and the freedom to express that opinion. Shocker! What an old fashioned idea! Once again there are those people out there screaming day and night for tolerance when they have no intention having the same respect for anyone who doesn't believe like they do. Good for you Miss California!

PS Miss North Carolina won! YEAH!!!!!!!!!!

Blueberry baby

Well, I am eight weeks pregnant. According to my book the baby is the size of a blueberry. Here's a little insight into my day. I think most of you that read this have either gone through this or had a friend or wife go through it. This blog is merely to document for myself and perhaps get a little sympathy and pep talks!

I wake up in the morning feeling exhausted and nauseous. Toothpaste makes me sick. I cannot eat anything until I drink a little sprite. Then whatever I eat immediately makes me feel sick so I can only eat a little bit of whatever it is. A few hours later I start feeling weak and nauseous because I haven't really eaten anything. This usually makes me get extremely hot and my skin starts to get clamy. I usually fight that with a cold wet rag on my forehead. After ten minutes I usually get so cold my skin aches and I have to use a space heater for the next few hours. I get down a little lunch and feel sick for the rest of the afternoon. I am so tired all day that my eyes burn so I take a nap after work and wake up when Sam gets home. I make and eat some dinner and feel sick again. I drink some sprite in order to calm my stomach enough to take my vitamins and then I toss and turn all night. People keep telling me it is just for the first trimister, I sure hope so. :(
