Okay- so I sent out a large email about the Family-Friends Diet Off. I think it could be a huge success, but all we need is participation. What is the diet-off you ask? Basically from Sept 1st to about Christmas time we are all going to work towards becoming healthy. There will be two pots each $5. One for the most weight lost and one for the highest percentage lost. So basically, $10 a person. The more people in the more you could win. You can lose the weight anyway you choose, but the basic idea is simply to move more. We will way in probably each week to keep it regular and to keep everyone motivated so everyone knows where they stand in the rankings. We've seen the different patterns develop in our family--cholesterol, blood pressure, diabetes, etc and we want to prevent this from happening. Yes, this is a bit of selfish motivation for us, but at the same time, I think this could be a fun exercise for everyone. If I missed sending the email to you, please let me know and I will pass it on.
For today, I had another interview. It went well and basically they want me to start Monday. However, I don't know that it is the best fit for me. We've talked about it and I think I'm gonna keep searching. When Daniel got home, we went to exercise and then I made a fantastic meal. We had broccoli, corn, boiled potatoes, and fried chicken--a healthy meal. :P You should try the chicken- I put some flour in a bowl and then added some pepper, a little salt, and a little lawry's seasoning and then mixed it up. I floured the chicken, then dipped it in milk, and then refloured again, and fried it in a little olive oil. Yum---very delicious. I must admit the boiled "tatas" were high on the list. I've always been a sucker for potatoes though. Right now, Daniel's reading his book "Playing for Pizza" and it looks like he is getting pretty close to the end. Oh--we did some laundry too. We are exciting people. BTW, sorry we didn't post for a while. The time really slipped by. I couldn't believe how long it had been.
Oh! Question for the day. Who are the VP running mates going to be? I'm interested to hear opinions. That's it. I think I'm going to bed. TTFN.

So what do you think of the VP candidates now?
Well, I'm not really sure what I think of them. I think Biden brings experience which Obama needs. I think McCain made a super wise decision in Palin. Not only does she bring youthfulness which he severely needs, but she brings the role of a strong woman to play. This could seriously sway women and pull Hillary voters over to his side. The first woman VP or P for that matter is a big deal. I'm not saying that it's not as big a deal to have a minority VP/P or anything , but I do think the woman issue is huge. She will also appeal to working mothers and housewives with children. It will be interesting to see how things turn out and what the media does to influence this race. McCain was very smart about this decision. He has now created some controversy in his decision and has people of both sides discussing him. What did Obama's choice do for him? Not much except bring experience. No one is still talking about Biden, but the news is still talking about Palin. Very interesting
