men who look like my Jonathan:

(young) Paul McCartney

Hal Sparks

Alastair MacKenzie from Monarch of the Glen

Jim Sturgess (see previous post)

Jim Sturgess

There's this new actor out there who looks just like Jonathan! I saw him in the preview for that movie, Across the Universe, that has all those Beatles covers as the soundtrack. And then when we went to see Cloverfield he was in another movie preview for some other "guy" movie (all of the previews before Cloverfield were for "guy" movies).

I think

I may become a vegetarian.

Yet again.

I try it out every couple of years.

I flirt with being a vegetarian.

And it isn't usually hard for me, because I really don't like meat all that much.

It's the insane gastrointestinal pressure that I cannot handle and that usually makes me a meateater again.

So I haven't eaten meat since I had taco salad on superbowl Sunday.

I have eaten my weight in black beans since then so we'll see how many more days I last...

PS I love that I googled "abdominal pain" and this picture popped up:

on my decision to support barack over hillary

I mentioned earlier on my blog that I felt sort of guilty not supporting the first woman to run for president.

I don't feel that way any more. I mean, I need to support the candidate who best represents my opinions on all of the issues. And how phony would it be to vote for her only because she is a woman? I think she is a brilliant, brilliant woman. But I have to support Barack Obama.

And have you heard this guy speak? How could you not support him?

Every time I hear him speak I want to run out into the street and hug all of my fellow Americans. He fills me with that much hope for our country. And I cannot remember the last time I felt that way. Maybe on September 12, 2001?

just like Mommy

This afternoon I was sitting on the loveseat painting my toenails.

I glanced over at the couch and the Lion was sitting there, hunched over just like me, pretending to paint his toenails with a tube of chapstick.

My new puppy

passed away this morning.

The breeder sent Jonathan an email letting us know the horrible news. Apparently, English bulldogs sometimes accidentally sit on their puppies. This happened to our puppy and she was smothered.

The breeder has 2 other girl puppies so we will choose a different puppy and hopefully still be able to go down there the first weekend in March as planned, but I'm not going to post any pictures of our new puppy until we have her in our arms. I don't want to jinx anything, if that makes any kind of sense.
