Working on it. Coding has never been my specialty.

It’s none of your business and I’m being perfectly fair in my criticism of both sides.

But this one time, I’m going to ask why on earth photojournalists feel the need to keep photographing Sarah Palin’s legs? I was looking at a political slideshow on Yahoo today and I can’t tell you how many images were of her shapely legs and high heels standing next to John McCain’s stodgy old shoes.

I’m pretty sure I didn’t see any pictures like that of Barack Obama and Joe Biden. Not that I want to see their legs.

I know her being a woman and a mom and a mom of a family with it’s own issues is a big deal. It is absolutely predictable that the news would pick her apart. But really news media, do we need a leg shot every other image? How sexist.

I can’t say that I wouldn’t have done the same thing. Isn’t that what they make camera phones for anyways?

Especially work holidays that don’t require me to be in California for work. A true holiday that I can lay on my couch all day and watch TV if I want.

The City of Birmingham and others places have started four-day work weeks to help cut costs. As a person that can work anywhere as long as I have an Internet connection and cell phone signal, I like this idea. I tend to work better in my pajamas. And I even have a webcam for conferencing if they absolutely need proof I’m working if the e-mails didn’t do that.

So this weekend I’m mostly lazy. Today I’m headed to Oxford to visit the Mississippi Merricks’. Robyn is working the Ole Miss game so I’m hitchhiking over with her. I’ll be back late tonight and tomorrow my house turns into a college student refuge. Elizabeth will be doing the church thing for me, eating my food and doing laundry which I think is going to become our Sunday tradition.

And then Monday is my holiday. Isn’t that fabulous?
