I VOTED
I'm wearing one of those cute little stickers today that they give you at the poll after you vote. Since I have lived here I have voted early and by absentee ballot so this was my first trip to my polling place. It was easy to find, no lines, and quick and painless. I was surprised that they used a paper ballot which was then inserted into a counting machine. I was glad to see that we had a paper trail.
I have had CNN on today listening to all of the election diatribe while I do my chores and mess around the place. It is kind of fun. Tonight a friend and I will hold a wake for those losing their power while we watch the election results. I'm hoping it is going to be a lot of fun and not too surprising.
I am wondering what the advertisers are going to have to do now that the campaigning will be over and there is no mud slinging to engage in. I am so sick of the same dreary commercials over and over. I guess they will move on to Holiday advertising, fast foods, sex enhancement drugs, and automobiles, all of which I can do without. I will be buying gift cards. I won't be eating much fast food, I'm sexy enough and I have a car that runs just fine. Some day I will write my personal thoughts on advertising.
So for today I'm happy enough, I'm good enough, and I'm enjoying the gently falling rain on my roof.

I voted too, and as we watched tonight, and are still watching at 1:30 a.m., the Democrats accomplished what they had set out to do! Now we can have some checks and balances again, as it should be! My 7 year-old grandson asked his older brother today what a Democrat was (as his other grandparents and parents are staunch republicans), and his brother said we "were for abortion, and gay marriage". That is what they have been taught. My answer was that it was purely a political party, and that we didn't necessarily agree with all of our political party's policies. That most of what the church points out in the candidates, the candidates have absolutely no power to change. It is such a shame that is what they believe. For the first time in my life I voted a purely Democrat ballot, and it felt good, real good! Think I may do that again!
