More than 1 million signatures were collected for the recall Walker effort.  Obviously there are a few "Santa Claus" and "Mickey Mouse" and duplicates that will have to be tossed out, but it well surpasses the number needed to force the recall and even the dream goal of 700,000.

We got our first pro-Walker material in the mail yesterday.  I'm sure that it was sent to every household, but it seemed funny to canvas an apartment complex where 1.Most people can't vote and 2.The people living there were arguably some of the hardest hit by his controversial policies.  Whatever.  Now we just need someone to come to our rescue and run against him. 

On the menu last night: 
Um... taco salad.  BUT I did put together some Bolognese sauce to cook in the crock pot today so we can have a real dinner tonight now that Daniel is finished with his paper.

I work out:
3.2mi in 30 minutes and some weights

Bible:
God speaks to Moses through the burning bush.

 

Seven things Sunday

1. What would blogging be without internet memes?  I wouldn't even know what that word meant.

I started it all!  There's no going back.

2. Funny political news story of the weekend: Lululemon customers are outraged over the company's new "Who is John Galt?" shopping bags.  Evidently Lululemon's founder, Chip Wilson, was a huge fan of Ayn Rand.  However, many yoga devotees find the message of Atlas Shrugged- in some ways considered the Bible of the Tea Party- at odds with the tenets of yoga.  

3. Horrifying political news story of the weekend: Police peppery spray defenseless protesting UC Davis students who were just sitting on the ground.

4. Back to point #2- yoga is hard if you go to a real class and actually try.  After a 90-minute class doing most of the Ashtanga primary series, I was totally wiped out.  Between all the sun salutations and vinyasas, I have no idea how many push-ups I did.  My arms say "a lot".

5. After dreaming of a 4-day weekend for several weeks, I think I may actually have to go to work on Friday.  Oh the humanity!

6. I just discovered Goodreads again from Katie at Cookies and Crafts.  It's a cross between Netflix and Facebook where you can rate books you like and don't like (take that, Heart of Darkness!) and see what your friends are reading to get book suggestions.  Anyone else on it?  I don't want to spam the world, but I currently only have two "friends" on there.

7. I need to go or I'm not going to be able to dry my hair before we have to leave for church.  The temps are hovering around freezing, and I don't want to be like this guy:
