God, it's been such a whirlwind, I have barely had time to stop and collect my thoughts. Even since, the old guy asked me to join up, it's been all I could do to pack and up and get deployed for this mission, I mean campaign. And, geez, now the debate is tonight!!!

What a week I had last week. Highlights of the last week: Going to the United Nations and being on Saturday Night Live, twice. Oh, and there was that financial whatchamacallit although I'm not sure I quite understand the whole shebang. I tried to call Carla to have her explain it, but for some reason, her phone number doesn't work anymore. Stevie and Ricky said she's real busy and may not be available, I thought I heard Karl whisper the words, "house arrest," but I probably misheard. Anyhoo, our team doesn't like me to read the papers, they tell me to just keep sayin' "maverick and reform" and John really lead the way on that gettin' this taken care of, those pictures of him headin' into Washington, were priceless and that's what counts.

Ok, the important stuff! I looked so cute on Saturday Night Live, I mean, Tina looked great. Note to self: have to find out where she got that jacket, very flattering color. That first skit they did was so funny. Hillary and I watched it together and we had a good laugh. Then HRC picked up the phone called and canceled her appearance at the UN 'cause I was gonna be there, ok, God, I can't lie to you, that one was my idea, but if she gets credit for it, so much the better. We got a lot of play out of that one! Then, Bill goes on tv and talks me up, we're just keepin' em guessin'. Between Hill and Bill, we're sure to win and I promised Hillary, when I run for president after this term, she'll be on the ticket. She always gives me that signature cackle when I say that, I think that's a good thing.

Bill sent me a copy of Leaves of Grass. Not sure what that meant, I think it was one of books I was thinkin' about getting' banned, but it's the thought that counts. The second show was just great, another terrific jacket and Amy called me adorable. I told Karl it was a good idea abut the lifeline and how I'd try to work that shoot 'em up thing T.F. did into the debate, but he just sent me back to my room to study up, he's just no fun!

Ok, well, no one can say I don't have foreign experience now, I spent a lotta time at the UN. It was really bigger than it looked in The Interpreter (Nicole Kidman just had a baby too, we should meet!) Karzai was so nice and we posed and chatted about our kids. Kissinger says I'll get everything our advisers think we should get and they'll be callin' it beehive diplomacy in the history books. He is so adorable. We just talked and he was very encouraging. He promised me not to worry, he'll be tellin' me what to do the whole time I'm in office. I said I was a little worried that he's getting' up there, but he assured me, if they could keep Chaney goin' he and John weren't kickin' the bucket any time soon, so that really made me feel comfortable. It was Hank's idea to leak that bathing suit video too, he's such a kidder, he asked me to try on my flag bikini for him, but I had already lent it to Condi.

God, is it terrible to admit, I want to be the hottest world leader? That Angela Lansbury of Germany has nothing on me but that Tzippi Livni might give me a run for my money. Not sure why she doesn't pronounce the T or the Z in her name, but I would never second guess a decision of Israel, so whatever!

Please God, please let the vote on pass on this financial--I don't know, ya' know? So I don't get mocked and have to talk so much about it at the debate this week. Ya know, we're sittin' around and Gramps said something about firing from SEC, I said in Alaska we'd just shoot him from a plane, John laughed but not Tucker, he just sent me off to Arizona with this list of Washington type stuff: Hawley-Smoot, Glass-Steagall, and Sarbonne- Oxley.

And that Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act- they said to forget that one, 'cause it was about deregulation, but I didn't know what it was to begin with! I'll let old Hair Plugs talk about that stuff, real people don't want to hear about those two word Ivy League stuff-the only two words they want to hear together are: tax cuts and moose hunting.

My only regrets about the trip were that I didn't get to see much of Twig, Trig, whatever I named this one, but the Toddsters in charge and I said he could use my sun bed at home, so he's happy enough. And, I didn't get to see the other states that share borders with New York, but you can see New Jersey from Ground Zero, so I got some insight into that.

To do list and God if you're not too busy, I could use your help:
-Work on K's pronunciations: Kadyrov, Kandahar, Karada
-Must remember to check in our new Alaska bridge to somewhere
-Reset password on private email account--try truthiness, no one'll guess that one! -Take Katie Couric off the holiday card list, and say a prayer for Campell Brown, if I don't drop out of this race she's gonna blow a gasket.

God, I have to let people know that I have the respectfulness and the...of the leadership to do the...and government needs to be reformed, ya' know. Well, I don't know what's gonna happen tonight, I'll just have to get back to ya on that! From me, Sarah.
