My SuperHot Vote Date with SCGB

... or How I Celebrated SwankyMama's Birthday*

Here's a little photo essay of my afternoon ...

SCGB got home from school around 1.

We decided to walk to our Polling Place.

The trees are about the only things that are red in my district! Hurray for Liberal Values!

Kittens, there was NO line. It took me longer to decide what to buy from the PTA Bake Sale (rum cake and cranberry/orange pound cake) than it did to vote.

Obama!I could only choose one. Sorry, Cynthia.

We talked to our neighbor, who is a better citizen that I'll ever be. She takes the day off work to be a volunteer poll worker/election judge/person. Isn't that awesome?

Then, we walked up to hip and happenin' Downtown Silver Spring for our FREE Starbucks!

Yayz! Life is good.

Did you???

I think Barack Obama wants us to have a martini! *smooches*

*Happy Birthday, Your Swankyness!

    I would LOVE to have a martini WITH obama! :-)

    who is that handsome guy with the coffee and the cable knit sweater? did you make it yourself? the sweater, not the coffee (hee hee).

    my polling place opened at 7a; by 7:45a, I was voter #102. I saw so many first time voters being proud to cast a ballot. some people brought their kids.

    OBAMA 08!

    anne marie in philly: unfortunately, I am not that knittingly gifted. I believe the wonderful craftsmen at Banana Republic made my sweater.

    I have never ever had to wait in line for more than 5 minutes and most times (today included), there has been no wait at all. But that's because most people here vote by mail, I guess. We're in the process of going all mail-in, but my county ain't there yet.

    Ohmigoshimsoexcited!!!

I'm Back (from Vacation)

 I'm back. I will be posting about my vacation soon.  Well, soonish ... maybe this weekend.  I dunno. Also, I came back to a big pile of stress at work.  Good times. Can I go on vacation again?  (Why, yes. Yes, I can.  I'll be flying to Atlanta for Pesach.  Just the weekend.  Not the whole dang thing.  My body needs gluten. And, then, a quick trip to NC in early May to see the 'rents.) ANYWAY.  Israel and Latvia posts coming up. Stay tuned. Or just look at the pix on my IG. *hugz*

Shaken. Bruised. And Just the Facts.

This is not the post I was intending to write this evening, but ... I need to write things down to sort them out in my head as best as possible. At approximately 2:50PM on my walk home from the metro station, I was attacked from behind. I have walked down Wayne Avenue at least twice a day for 5 years, at all hours of the day and night. I have always felt perfectly safe doing so. Even today didn't seem out of the ordinary. As I approached the intersection of Dale and Wayne, I passed a young black man in his early 20s. I made eye contact and nodded. I crossed Dale and heard a noise. I turned and saw someone running up Dale. That's when I noticed someone following me. I turned off my iPod and reached for my phone. And he jumped me, putting me in a chokehold and trying to pull me to the ground. I began hitting him over my shoulder with my large umbrella (which, sadly, is now in pieces). I hit myself in the head a couple times, too, and have a few lumps. He pulled me to the ...

12 of 12: It's Been a Long Time Edition

Image
Good Evening, Kittens. Look! It's my 12 of 12 for January ... Some of us have to get up at 5:30 AM ... even if the Evil Snow Shovelers are shoveling snow at 1:30AM and it wakes us up and keeps us up for an hour. Even though we get up at 5:30 AM ... sometimes we don't make it to the metro station until Much Later (*cough* 7:45 *cough*) ... but then we get on a train and it whizzes (*heh*) through the snowscape. Eventually (meaning "forEVER"), I arrive at work and see ... snow-covered bicycles. Check email. Eat breakfast. Die one thousand deaths before 9AM. Meetings. Paperwork. Incompetence. *ROWR* Creating survey. Annoying little pop-up thing that Won't. Go. Away. How cute are these boots? How CUTE are these BOOTS? Wandering around taking photos of damage in my building ... Don't Panic. It's almost Go Home Time. It's a good thing the Count of Monte Cristo is 3261 pages long. Red Line Delays on the way home. *ughz* Laundry! Icicle! And, soon. ...
