Howdy Moovers!
I love Calvin and Hobbes! It was the only cartoon I ever read in the funny section. It was so deep. Very powerful.
Me too!
Me too!
(not that I am BUT I hate it)
DH got the kitchen TV working again, after he claimed for 2 days he had no idea how, and then it took him 1 minute once he tried! Oh well, at least it's working.
Hmmm, sometimes us men types just have to ponder a repair for a while before we can do it.
Marita-- I can't even think of when my kids actually drive. Did you dd dress up tonight?
Ugh! Me either, NAB, but DS15 becomes DS16 in less than a month. For the past month, he's been asking to borrow the car "just to drive to his friend's IN the neighborhood" even though he doesn't have his license yet. Uh, no! Accidents can happen IN the neighborhood too.
Then I worked on Sunday and one of the new nurses was having a bad day and couldnt get an IV started, so to boost her confidence, I told her she could try to start one on me. But she missed. and then she missed again. and then again.
Finally, she said "I give up". But she looked like she was going to cry, so I picked out a big vein and said "Try right here. One more time"
She got it! When I came home the kids asked why I had band-aids all over my arms. The things I do for my coworkers!
Awww, what a good coworker buddy you are!
I was all revved up for a wait-wait based on the early voter-voting lines that were obnoxiously long.
Got a swell sticker! Shoot, they had tons of stickers. I could have gotten a crap load of free stickers AND a hand-full of free fun-size Snickers that the old people were handing out. Precious slow old people!
You just gotta rub it in, don't you?
There was a bowl of fun-size Snickers that the old people volunteers were pushing. I just made a gigantic sign of the cross and ran away. (Just kidding on that last part).
So, you're saying you DIDN'T run away then?
Harrumph! There were NO Election Day treats passed out at my precinct! But
I did get a sticker. Had to get out there to cancel out my hubby's vote
Hope my DD isn't having any problems voting in NC.
I didn't get a sticker! They had run out already and I voted before Noon!
Mony - Sorry to hear about your trouble voting
Look at the bright side, though. It was probably a good experience for the kids to experience the polling place. I still remember taking Mari into the voting booth with curtains when she was little. Man,
that used to make me nervous worrying that I hadn't put all the levers where they were supposed to go 
I much prefer filling in the little ovals
Here in my county, they did away with the lever voting machines right after I registered to vote (at age 18). I think I may have gotten to vote with them ONE time in November 1986.
Zack's number 1 pick on his list
This is what my 10 year old son listed, once again, as his most wanted item for christmas. I think my husband might tell Santa yes this year.
My DS8 keeps asking for similar products -- dirt bikes, go carts, etc. He also wants Santa to BRING a football field, a baseball diamond, and a go-kart/minibike/ATV course (as if ANY one of those will fit in our backyard). Besides, have you ever heard of such a thing as running ATVs in your suburban backyard?
1.Our weather can be summed up with one word: SNOW. Want some?
3.How sweet! I love kids choirs!!! I especially love that ONE kid who sings louder and off-keyer than the rest
4. LOL! Jordan came home last night as they were announcing Obama's victory and declared,
"Good, looks like we don't have to move to Canada!"* which struck me as funny in so many ways!
1. We may get ours on Monday when the high is supposed to be in the 30s and the chance of precipitation is 50%.
3. Awwww, shucks. You're not so bad yourself.
4. Hmmm, I don't find Jordan's comment all that dumb.
Oh, and DH said he is considering cable phone service, and cancelling our land phone lines (had this number for 35+ years), including my second line for internet backup. I thought it was $10 a month, but he said it's $22. So that and $15 a month for my MSN account is a bit steep for internet interruption insurance. I might go into a panic mode once I have no backup
It tends to go out me when I am working on a rush work project. Well, it usually is back within a hour, but I panic, LOL.
Marita, I have the same thing (second phone line and a "backup" dialup account for about $35 - $40 total per month). I'd hate to go without mine as well. There have been times where I
HAD to chat at night with my "internet friends" about real life stuff and was so grateful to have that backup when my high speed service dropped out on me!
who all is happy with our new president elect???
As for Peej, I believe that she goes back to LooUhVuhl sometime tomorrow.
I think so too. She said something last week about being back next Thursday (meaning tomorrow).

Are your girls as frenzied over Tink and her fairy cohorts as Natasha is? We've watched the Tink movie twice since Sunday, and are knee-deep in books, dolls and other assorted fairyphenalia. 
He was pretty mopey last night, but not quite so bad tonight. Certain aspects of my job will become better with a new head of EPA 
My house smells like vanilla now though that is not a bad thing. Vanilla is not cheap though so hopefully I will not do that again.
