This day is finally here...

No more political commercials! YAY!

I voted this evening after work and was pleasantely surprised by how fast I was in and out. I must have gone at a good time (3:45 pm) because I didn't have to wait in line. I placed my ballot in the giant machine thing, and got my sticker! Woo!

I was surprised with how many people at work said they were NOT voting. I understand the notion that the majority of politicians suck, but if you feel strong enough to not vote for either, then just vote for yourself. At least your exercising your right to vote.

Especially for those of us in this nation who haven't always had the right to vote, you should vote today just because you can. And you should today because of how hard others have fought in the past for you to have that right.

Just food for thought.

...now back to the hw.

Make love, not war


I went out last night for Halloween. I haven't gone out on Halloween in a couple of years. I usually avoid this scene just because it's a bit too hectic for me, and honestly, I still feel burnt out on the bar scene from overdoing it in college over 2 years ago...

My bf and I went as hippies. We figured it'd be the cheapest costume we could do because we already have the necessary clothing. All we had to do was buy him a long haired wig, and put some peace signs on us.

It was a good time. We hung out with friends we haven't seen in awhile. BUT, I did imbibe too much....Who would have thought that drinking wine, beer, AND hard liquor would have been a bad idea?

hmmm O:-)
