We are 13 days away from Election Day and to tell you the truth I cannot wait 'till it is over. I am so tired of all the fighting, debating, commercials, etc. It is driving me crazy! The news is so slanted that I absolutely hate it but then again I am addicted to it. It is a scary election and one that I might not like the outcome of but it will be a happy day when it is finally over. Not that I will be happy with the results but that I will be happy to have the campaigning over. It feels like it has been the longest campaigning effort ever!
It is also scary with this Proposition 8 on the line. The effort made by so many has been amazing and hopefully it pays off. I found that I did not like making the phone calls, taking polls of how people were voting and I didn't like the idea of walking door-to-door but I have found something that I do like.......standing on the street corner waving a "Vote YES on Prop 8" sign. Now I don't know what that says about me but I actually had a great time. We are actively involved in doing this now and the other night we had 40+ people show up to stand on the corner! It was amazing! Over all the response was positive and I just had fun counting how many big-rig trucks we could get to blow their horn. (BTW - we got 6 to do it) It felt good to stand up for something I believe in. Now we did put up our yard sign finally and today I came home from the gym to find that it is gone. It must have been the wind because we are having Santa Ana's today, I don't think anyone would have taken it down. Right? Oh well I will just have to put another one up-
Looking forward to November 5th.........Election Day will be over!!!! Yeah!!

I cannot wait until it is over either. Good luck with Prop 8 we will be thinking about you kids in CA.
I totally agree with you! It's so stressful and for what reason??? Really! We should have a party when it's over whether it be to celebrate or comiserate. Either way. Let's Party!!
Sure the wind blew it away....we still have TWO in our yard, so you are welcome to one of them! I'm such a loser for not doing what you are....thanks for picking up my slack! James wanted to go with you guys tonight, but he is stuck babysitting Charlie and George who are home with strep throat.
Amen sista!! I so agree and wish I could be there to party with you when it's over...good idea Jo!
I totally agree. I hate all the arguing, and to be honest I don't really feel inspired by either candidate. I just sent my ballot in the other day...for McCain. I sincerely pray that it will be a 'yes' on Prop 8, or I think there'll be a lot of Saints flocking to Utah. I hear there's lot's of cheap houses there, anyway!
Party when its over? Sounds like a good reason to me!
