Election Day 2008

I arrived at my polling place bright and early this morning, ready to vote.

I did not have long line to wait in. The nice lady handed me my ballot

and I went into the polling cubicle.

I anxiously scanned the ballot for her name......

but I couldnt' find it anywhere.

Lucy Lou where are you?



I found someone named McCain and there was an Obama and Nader. What's up with that?

Even though I'm from the great state of Nebraska, who has ever heard of the Nebraska Political Party? First time I have ever heard of it.

I'm sorry the gentleman running on the green party is probally a very nice person, but all I think of is green tea.

So I finally made my choice, then handed my ballot back to the nice ladies and finally put on my I voted sticker.

I then walked up the three flight of stairs to my office to go to work.

How lucky am I to be able to vote in the same building I work at.



Both the girls will vote at their school today and this afternoon my husband will drive to town to cast his ballot. We learned from the last election, every vote does matter.

So it whoever you want to support this presidental election if fine,
just get out and vote!

Candidate Endorsement

Now that the election is on us and we are all sick to death of campaign ads and anything even remotely political, along comes a candidate I like on all levels.

It seems that Rabbit Hash, Kentucky is in need of a new mayor.

She's up against a dozen dogs, Travis the cat, and even a jackass named Higgins.

 His campaign slogan is "You're going to end up with a jackass anyway, so you might as well vote for one." 

They make no "bones" that votes can be bought and they encourage people to vote often.

"Votes" are $1 and all proceeds go to the Rabbit Hash Historical Society.

This was featured on CBS Sunday Morning.  Finally, election coverage that I enjoyed!

Personally, I want a Vote for Lucy Lou t-shirt!

What a Beautiful Day

Today was a beautiful day.

The weather was perfect for doing some much needed out door chores.

Like finishing up the painting of the house.

Or moving the wood pile.

Clearing the garden since dead goats don't eat weeds.

Burning weeds.

Cleaning up downed tree limbs.

Fixing the fence that was demolished in the August wind storm.  Jiggsy and Murph  could stroll right out of the pasture and yet they stay.  

Of course I didn't do any of those things.

Because what I really needed to do was stuff inside.

Like laundry.  That would be good.  Otherwise I'll be buying new underwear and socks.  Again.  I don't think Vicki would understand if I called in unclothed.  Someday I'm going to tackle Mt. Laundry.  But not today.  And probably not tomorrow either.

Dishes.  Yep, that would be another good thing.  How can two people dirty so many dishes?!

Grading papers .... again.  Still.  Yuck.

Nap. 
Now there's a good idea ....
napping is one of my favorite past times.

But not today.

No, today was set aside for quilting.

I started and finished a chenille lap quilt this week-end.

Well, almost.  I have to hand sew the binding on and then wash it so that the chenille part chenilles.  Yeah, I know that's not a word.  But I'll bet you figured out what I meant didn't you?   

I hate hand sewing.  I wonder how that will work while riding the recumbent bike?

With any luck, I'll have a picture of the finished product sometime this week!

What Do You Get When ....

... you cross Dani with a tiger?

 

How about Dani with Shrek?

 

 

Let's cross Dani with Madonna.

 

  

Since it's almost election time, let's cross her with George Bush.

 

  

How about Darth Maul?

 

  

Kinda creepy if you ask me.

Let's leave the dark side and try Yoda.

 

  

That's even creepier.
Let's go back to the movies.

Let's try Anne Hathaway.

 

  

I know, I know.  I have entirely too much time on my hands.

Super Saturated Ego

How cool is this?!
