illness and politics.

Update (for those of you who care):During the day I feel fabulous. I think for sure the little bugs have vacated my body, but every morning when I wake up and I feel like they have relaunched an attack. Now I have that terrible cough that won't allow you to sit still longer than five minutes. If I try to stifle anything my eyes start watering and my body heaves out the coughs. Then the cough scratches up my throat all over again. My voice is at about 25%. I am definitely on the up :) and neither Zeb nor Kent are showing any signs of illness! I really want to go running so I hope I am totally better by tomorrow! My attempts to run yesterday were greeted by a very angry throat.

The Michigan primaries are on the fifteenth! just a few short days away. I am so tempted to drive up over the border and see if I can find the candidates! I know that Mitt will be in Hudsonville, but it's nearly four hours away from here. I can't find the exact locations of the other candidates. All of the politics get me so excited! and then so anxious at the same time. On the republican ticket I really am pulling for Romney, but it looks like it's going to be a crazy race. I am excited to see what happens once Guilliani starts campaigning in the bigger states. I just don't like Huckabee...at all. I'm afraid he's too much like Bush. I strongly believe we need a big change and Huckabee is not the force of that change. I'm trying to separate myself from the bias I have towards Romney, but after reading issues and watching debates, I really do like him the most. I still don't like Hilary and I'm not sure I can change that! Right now I'm trying to learn as much as I can about Obama and Edwards.
Sometimes I just wish we could just have the big convention (scheduled in August) tomorrow and then I could focus my energies on choosing one of the two candidates! one of my favorite sites to look at is cnn.com. They have up to date info on everything, and they have it so that you can look at all candidates' positions on the same time about the same issue. Basically it's a candidate comparison (although not entirely comprehensive).

I'll post some Zeb pictures later today (I know that's the real reason you all look at my blog!).
