I didn't make the top five, but I had a blast and got the Spirit Award. I blew the second one where I wasn't pregnant. If I do it again I will have backing-- it cost a fortune to me to do!<BR/><BR/>The women who do those are a certain mold that I don't fit. They are nice, don't get me wrong, but they are polished. I am not-- I can't do it. There is something in me that will not allow me to be one of them. They do fundraisers for the poor; I go out and spend the night at a homeless shelter incognito. They put lots on money into an arts program at a prison; I spend four days working with the ladies. If I ever run for public I will pay to be a guest for a week in a prison and spend the two years before I do it working in jobs that put me in contact with the most vulnerable of my constituents. Those women would never get their fingernails dirty and there is nothing good hidden under their shiny surfaces. I like them, but I am not one of them.Tea N.

Probably what somebody considered welfare reform. I'm happy that your husband found another job, but upsets me that the state would be so callous towards large families.<BR/><BR/>P.S. How did you do in the Mrs. Alaska pageant? I hope you weren't beaten out by Sarah Palin.steve on the slow trainhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18257811143869341854noreply@blogger.com
