Since I’ve decided to publicly endorse Obama, I’ve gotten the most criticism from my 10-year-old daughter. They are having mock elections at school, and she thinks McCain is the best choice.
In the middle of Wednesday night, said 10-year-old (aka Tatym) came into my room saying “I feel like I’m going to throw u…” and she proceeded to vomit all over my bedroom floor. I thought I was then going to gag cleaning it up. I figured I couldn’t send her school Thursday, and I didn’t want to leave her home alone all day, so she rode along to Omaha where I had yet another Lasik eye enhancement surgery. So I then had to defend Obama in a long political debate during the drive.
I honestly don’t think Sarah Palin is qualified enough for the VP position, and especially not suited for the Presidency should McCain kick the bucket (c’mon, you can admit he’s ancient old). The only good thing about McCain/Palin winning would be that I can continue to blog about Sarah Palin’s wardrobe and reap the profits. Gotta love it when major newspapers do stories on my blog posts. Someone told me this week that I have “the coolest job in the world” and it’s days like that, that I have to agree.
Anyway, Nebraska has not voted Democratic in a presidential election since 1964, but that’s not gonna stop me voting for Obama (I’m even registered as a Republican). What’s Joe the Plumber know? He’s not even a licensed plumber, but he is single…
Back to me (this is MY blog), I’m glad this was my last Lasik procedure because if the previous ones had been this painful, I never would have had more. First of all, I don’t think the Valium kicked in as I was in a panic mode, then the pain afterwards was atrocious, and I couldn’t see clear the next day. I went into the eye doctor, who said my cornea is swollen, thus the pain and blurriness. Hopefully these eye drops that I have to administer every two hours (and taste awful as they drip into the back of my throat) will cure the problem.
This weekend, I think I’ll lay low (due to my eyes, and I can’t wear makeup for a week). I should start to get my house ready for the city’s Christmas Tour of Homes. Tatym is trying to convince me to take her to the High School Musical 3 Movie, but she may have to swing her vote first.
I’ve never been much into politics. In fact, I sway and change my voter’s registration card back and forth between Republican and Democrat depending on if I want to vote for someone in particular in our local county elections.
Tonight, the last presidental debate bored me. And upset me that it ran over into Lipstick Jungle’s prime time slot. I kept the TV on though while I blogged about deals and freebies and listened to the candidates duke it out. Although I think John McCain won this debate (and his running mate Sarah Palin wears great shoes), I think I’m going to vote for Barack Obama. His healthcare reform just about had me sold, but this video by Sarah Silverman swung my vote for sure (and I’m not even Jewish). Watch for yourself…
Not that my one vote is really going to count as I live in Nebraska where the electoral votes are distributed via the Congressional District Method, and we’re a red state, but I’ll venture out and vote. Although I would much rather be attending Ad-Tech in NYC that day. Oh well, I was just in NYC last week.
Just overhead Jay Leno talk abou about the recession - More women are having sex with their husbands because they can’t afford batteries! But myself being single, I’m thinking batteries are cheaper than a husband!
Growing up, I hated my brunette hair. My friends and I made our own concoctions of Sun-In with hydrogen peroxide and laid out in the sun (no tanning beds either) only to turn our brown hair into a bright burnt orange color.
While I’ve never accomplished a platinum blond look, I beg to differ that blondes have more fun. And what’s with the stigma that men prefer blondes anyway? Do they really or is that just what society says? Take Pamela Anderson for instance, I doubt men notice her hair first.
I recently had a conversation with a male friend of mine who admitted that he thought he was supposed to like blonds over brunettes, but when he was asked who his favorite looking actresses were, he named five of them that were all brunettes (ie Angelina Jolie, Ashley Judd, etc). It was then that he realized he had only dated brunettes in his lifetime and ended up marrying a brunette. He now confesses he prefers brunettes over blondes.
So since my blondish highlights were starting to grow out, I decided to dye all of my hair brunette again. I have yet to get a gray hair (knock on wood), but the minute I do, I’ll be investing in Clairol.
P.S. My second choice for the title of this post was ”Nuts Selling Nuts” as today is our annual Kiwanis Peanut Day, and I just got back from peddling peanuts!
