Election Night 2008

This is an official badge. So I'm really doing this.


So voting didn't take that long at all. Well, about a half an hour. Then we went to get a free coffee at Starbucks to commemorate the event. And then I bought a lot of vegetables. Awesome. Today also marked my day of being officially ten pounds lighter. Hurray! This "lifestyle change" is really working. I'm going to keep it up the best I can when I'm done with the actual process. It's really helped me to realize what kind of crap I put into my body and how it affects me.

At the library tonight, someone brought back a juvenile book called "Women of the WWE". I had no idea this book existed. Or that kids would want to read about the women wrestlers. But there it was. Another woman checked out a book by Sylvia Browne and I wanted SOOO badly to to tell her that Sylvia Browne is a total scam and her books are awful but I'm supposed to be non-partisan (or whatever the librarian equivalent would be) so I said nothing. But man, Sylvia Browne totally sucks.

I'm off to watch the news coverage obsessively all night. I swear, if Obama doesn't win I'm calling into work tomorrow.

decisions, decisions

I called my parents to ask them to vote for Barack Obama yesterday. It turns out that they already planned on it. Hurray! That makes me feel a lot better about the state of things. I know that the whole world wants Barack Obama to win and so do I. I get so sick of listening to the one-issue voters and closet (or, not closeted in some cases sadly) racists. The fact is that he is ready to lead our country. This country shouldn't worry about whether or not gays can marry but that we make sure America isn't going to go down the crapper.

There are some big decisions being made over here. I won't say too much but I'm really excited for this next year to get under way. I think it will change things for the better. Part of me can't believe it's so close. But I can almost get a grasp on my whole life for the first time. Which takes a lot of pressure off these shoulders. I'm also down almost ten pounds due to my lifestyle nutrition changes. I have a lot to go but it's getting easier as the days go by.

Here's to this next week!
