Well, I have been asked several times now, so here is the link to the ongoing list to use as suggestions for Anniversaries, Birthdays, Christmas, ect.
Too excited to sleep
I spent all day (6 am to almost 9pm) at the vote center helping people vote on the electronic machines.
The reward is coming home and getting to watch Obama’s speech with Doug.
Yes we can!
Now I am too excited to sleep!
Watching and Fidgeting
This is where I can be found between now and Wednesday morning… When I am not making sure that my county’s elections are fair and square.
50,000 in the Oval
Best quote of the day, coming from the debates
I happened to be online when the debates were going on, and there was a quote that popped up.
With out further ado:
“We’re living in a country governed by our emotional reactions to billions of dollars of lies.” – Michael Swaim
How true. How sad, but how true.
Guidelines/Rules
To everyone who reads our web page and blog, and those who wish to leave comments of any sort…
Please leave your name that we can recognize you by. I delete comments that have no name.
Please be polite and courteous to all people here. I enjoy discussions and even debates, but keep it civil.
If you can’t accept these guidelines/rules, then don’t comment on our web page.
Please also keep in mind that Doug is a VERY GOOD computer geek. We have, in the past, backwards traced unnamed comments and rude comments to the user’s computer and so therefore we know who leaves them.
The reason I am posting this now is another unmarked comment was left for us.
ONE VOICE
Hi all-
For all of you who live in
AK, AR, AZ, CO, DC, FL, GA, HI, IN, KY, LA, MI, MS, OH, PA, TN, TX, and VA
Tomorrow, October 6th, is your LAST DAY to register to vote. If you don’t register, you can’t vote in the November elections.
Even if you think you are registered, DOUBLE CHECK! There are rumors of people being deleted from the lists, so DOUBLE CHECK!
You can probably check online in your state or county, or you can call the voter registration office to make sure.
Please, register, DOUBLE CHECK and then VOTE in November!

FIRST THE BAD NEWS
WE REMAIN MADLY IN LOVE AND
have decided to continue the marriage and as such,
will not be returning any of the fine gifts to you
who so generously gave them. However, as the
rhetorical structure goes, there is also good news.
We absolutely adore what you have so kindly
given us. Thank you, many times thank you.
It will most certainly give us a jumpstart on our
initial attempts at adult lives and help us remain
that excessively happy couple you see in picture
frames for sale at the grocery store.

It is time…
We had a realtor lady stop by this morning. She is very pleasantly surprised by the whole house because the only picture she had was from two years ago. She seems excited to sell it for us and really likes everything we have done. She gave us a few suggestions, most of what we already knew. Now all we need to do is finish the projects we have started and then hopefully Doug will not have to drive an hour each way to work and I find a job in the metro area.
Invisible Fridge
I get out a glass and set it on the far side of the countertop as close as I can to the next room, and then walk into the dining room towards the light switch and reach for the door. At the last moment, I freeze and blink. The door is gone.
I roll my eyes at myself, turn around, grab my glass and head in the opposite direction to the depth of the kitchen where I find the fridge and the door I was trying to open. I pull out the milk, close the door, pour myself a glass of milk, get a plate of cookies, grab the milk bottle and head back out to the dining room to put the milk away. Once again, freeze, laugh, sigh, turn around, go back into the kitchen, and put the milk in the fridge.
You see, for two months, the fridge was in the dining room while we worked on the new floor and new countertops. But fate intervened and so we didn’t get the grout lines done yet. Out of desperation to have a somewhat normal looking house again, we put the fridge back Saturday. But the damage to our brains is done. The unusual pattern of going into the dining room has been made a habit, and we both catch ourselves several times a day trying to use the invisible fridge.
