As someone who grew up Episcopalian, this makes me sorta proud of my former church:
CHICAGO, Illinois (AP) -- The Episcopal Diocese of Chicago included an openly lesbian priest among five nominees for bishop Tuesday, as fellow Anglicans demand that the church bar gay bishops.
The Rev. Tracey Lind, dean of Trinity Cathedral in Cleveland, who has a female partner, will be on the November 10 ballot.
If she wins, she would be the second bishop living with a same-sex partner in the Episcopal Church. New Hampshire Bishop V. Gene Robinson, who has a male partner, was consecrated in 2003, pushing the world Anglican Communion to the brink of schism
Not the schism part, the acceptance of gays and lesbians part. Nice work.

Whelmed
"I know you can be overwhelmed, and underwhelmed, but can you ever just be whelmed?"
Yes. I am feeling rather whelmed at the moment. Thus ends the mystery of the whelmed.

No Good, Very Bad Day
Today was sucky. It started sucky, as I accidentally tossed poor Murphy's favorite frisbee over a fence into a train yard. He was none too pleased. Then I went to my first class, and missed it because of some crap time change that everyone else knew about. Then I spent $700 on books. To my future professor who thought we needed 7 books for one semester . . . REALLY??? You do realize I have other classes and no money, right? Clearly you are going to be one of those profs who has no idea I am actually enrolled full time and might have to potentially read for other classes. Harumph.
The nap, cookies, and riesling are all working to turn it around. On a sidenote, as I watched the Falcons pre-season game, I wondered whether any of Vick's teammates were going to get caught in this dog fighting scandal. I mean, some of the players probably hang out in the off season, right? Doing fun things like abusing defenseless animals and betting on their demise? So, is anyone else going to be caught up in this?

So Here It Is
I haven't posted thus far, not that anyone has missed me, because I really didn't know what a first blog post should entail. Should I write about my life goals, the things in the world that infuriate me, the things that make me happy, the things that keep me up at night, etc???
It was all a bit too much. Then I realized that no one cared besides me, and I tend to over think even the simplest things, so I should just suck it up and be the total dork that I am. Really, so long as Murphy likes it, that's all that matters. And Murphy will for sure like my rambling about the two of us pal-ing around on the couch. Well, he's actually a bit grumpy because he wants his dinner . . . But I am so sucked in to "LA Ink" that his dinner will just have to wait. So here it is, my non-insightful, non-earth shattering first ever blog post. What a relief.
