My More Serious Note

So, any and all of my friends that read this should know that I am in 100% support of equal rights for all Americans. With that, is equal rights for the Gay and Lesbian community, although some would say otherwise.

The "Don't ask Don't Tell" (DADT) policy, brought into law in 1993 prohibits gay and lesbian individuals from serving openly in the military. If anyone knows that they are gay, they will be discharged from the military, regardless of years of service, stature or what they may have done for our country. This law, is enforced MOSTLY on the basis of gay profiling.... commanding officers have admitted in some cases to searching through emails, personal belongings, and contacting soldier's friends and families based on the assumption that a soldier may be gay or bi-sexual.

This year alone, over 400 gay soldiers have been discharged from the military under this policy, which is COMPLETELY unconstitutional, and (in my opinion) completely immoral and.... let's be honest... just plain FUCKED UP.

This is not to say that I would support and of my friends and family in joining the military, I don't believe in it.... that's another blog all together. However, I am saying that for those that serve to honor our country, and defend our freedom based on what they believe in... deserve the right to do so, regardless of their sexual orientation.

In closing, please call your Senators before Tuesday, and voice your support of repealing the DADT policy. Here in Utah, our Senators are Bob Bennet and Orrin Hatch. I have called BOTH offices and asked that my senators repeal this policy. If you do not know your senator, you can call the national switchboard, and they will transfer you accordingly. In order to do so, you can dial 202-224-3121.


Please support the repeal of this law. Call your Senator. Have a voice. Hate breeds hate. Stop the cycle.

My Loving Husband

I am so lucky to have the most wonderful man to live beside, and fall asleep next to. He is wonderful, understanding, handsome, a loving and WONDERFUL father, and the love of my life. He sent me the cutest little love letter today. I don't want to share the whole thing, but it did include this little quote that I just wanted to share.

If I could reach up and hold a star for every time you've made me smile, the entire evening sky would be in the palm of my hand. - Anonymous

I feel the same way babe. LOVE YOU!

Under it All

A pretty package
black leather and lace
tied neatly with a satin bow
contents: fragile

pull the ends gently
peel back the layers
exposing scars
that will never fade

remove the demure lace with care
revealing small red letters;
caution: contents extremely hot
handle with care to avoid burns

Pull the lid back gently
un-bind the tape
pull back the wings
and you will find me.

Yeah, I Dunno Either

Felt the overwhelming compulsion to write, but had nothing to say. Here ya go:

She touches her two fingers to her lips softly. Closing her eyes, she allows them to rest there a moment before pursing her lips laying a gentle kiss on them and pressing them softly against his lips while he slept. Retracting her arms beneath the safe surface, she snuggled into the comforter softly. The cool soft sateen pillow case against her cheek, cradled her softly as she attempted to float into the warm night, un-baited by small white circles contained by a child proof lid.
