1) It appears I have lost the contest of all contests. The phone call should have come yesterday and alas, mine remained silent. A deafening, mourning silence. I will have to figure out another way to have lunch with my beloved Clintons. Isn't there some sort of Make a Wish foundation for people who aren't sick, but just really want something really badly?
2) Yesterday I asked my doctor about donating the cord blood stem cells to research so that Mr. Impending Arrival could begin his life by a) giving something back to the world and b) "sticking in Bush's eye from the moment he is born" -credit to Sylia Wilson for quote. Disappointingly, they are no longer collecting stem cells for donation in Minnesota because the U of MN has enough stem cells and doesn't need any more right now! On one hand this is good and encouraging news- to know that one of the top research universities in the world is stocked with plentiful stem cells for research purposes is great. But, it is sad that my great idea to bring the baby into the world chock full of hope for humanity and a political agenda has been foiled.
I bet if I would have won that lunch with Hillary and Bill, they would have known what to do about this stem cell cord blood conundrum. Any ideas?

Talk about sticking it in someone's eye-- John Edwards sent an email yesterday with a similar contest, but it was to rebuild New Orleans with him.
"This campaign is about creating big, bold change on the issues that matter—so we're not offering you gimmicks. We're not offering you a fancy dinner. And we're not offering you the chance to hobnob with celebrities and former presidents. We are offering you the chance to roll up your sleeves and make a difference—to help move us a little closer to creating One America for all of us."
DAAAAAAAMN.
if the contest drawing was moved to another day, and i DO win, you are so not invited.
also, you just love John Edwards for his boyish good looks.
Listen, I love the Clintons, too. Pointing out a savvy move on Johnny's part shouldn't disqualify me. Who is your other spouse voting for? Oh, wait.
DAAAAAAMN.
I love being American.
