Success!

Well, she made it through the entire night, only appearing in our bed around 5:30am.  Which is pretty typical, actually.  No mention of 'Pa,' no asking for it, nothing. Let's see how naptime goes.

As for the car, still waiting on the finishing time and the estimate.  Sent Papa off to the psychologist with the Monkey today, which leaves me an exciting morning free for laundry and dishes.  Wheeeeee!

Of course, first, a cup of coffee and last night's episode of "The Daily Show" which featured a segment on new Republican frontrunner Rick Santorum.  This man frightens me, not only because of his ideological beliefs, but because he just looks smarmy and like he has a personality of an asshat.  And I fundamentally disagree with everything that comes out of his mouth for the most part.

Sometimes I think that moving back to the US would be a good idea, more space, cheaper housing, we could have a yard and two cars, etc...but seeing the dysfunction of the government and the mainstream support for people with such non-secular views on how to run a country and by extension, the lives of the people living in that country, makes me want to build an igloo in Finland and learn how to make snowshoes.  Okay, maybe not to that extreme, but...

We live in Spain right now, and though the economy is in the dumpster, and we are also being run by a ship of fools, at least they're progressive enough to support gay marriage, public health insurance, and recognize that Socialism is not a four-letter-word.  Though it is becoming increasingly so, as the employment rate inches (how do you say that in metric...centimeters?) its way towards 30%.

All this from a super-Catholic (less so than before, but still pretty Catholic) country that only legalized divorce in 1981.  1981!!!
