So I got up this morning charged with the plan of stopping by our little country church to cast my vote and drive on into work. When I turned the corner I saw the parking lot and realized I might need to resort to Plan B. It was full! I went on in to check it out and there was a line out the door, well almost anyway. I went ahead and got in line to see if I would have time to vote but alas. There was only one voting machine and the line was too long. So, I came on into work and will go by after work.
I thought about calling my boss and telling him that I would be a few minutes late because I was already there and stuff but since my cellphone is a piece of crap and I can't see what the heck I am doing I changed my mind. **sigh**
They say every vote counts and I do believe that. I imagine Obama's "Toot" is looking down on her grandson being a proud Grandmother. I know how she feels.
Today is my father's birthday. I never can keep up with how old he would have been, that is my So's job. I am sure he will let us all know. I miss him.

Awwwwww light at last!
I was ever so pleased to drive to work this morning in the light of the morning. I have been driving in what seemed like midnight hours for too long. It was really starting to bother me. I don't see well at night and I was having to take the long and busy way to work. I don't do busy very well anymore. I was also having trouble getting up in the mornings. It just seemed wrong to have to get up at what seemed like midnight to get ready and leave for work. So, even though it will get darker much earlier I think this year I am going to enjoy Daylight Savings Time more than any other year.
It is amazing how our bodies change as we age. I definitely can tell a difference in mine since I turned 50 yrs old. Of course I would help if I was as active as MC or DAAve but I am not, never have been. So and I were talking about that yesterday morning on the phone. It's just not fair is what he said and I agreed. But we make our own decisions in that matter don't we?
Yesterday Joe and I went to town for a little bit of shopping. I was going to buy another cellphone since mine has once again started the same thing the previous 2 phones did. The screen is completely white and I can't see my address book or anything. I called AT&T to see about getting a new one but was told that since I have had the initial phone for over 12 months they couldn't replace it. Huh? I have had three, count 'em, three of these exact phones and they have all done the exact same thing. Does anyone see perhaps a pattern here? I was told that I could turn it into insurance and have it replaced but why should I have to pay $50 for a phone that is going to do the same thing again? They offered to let me upgrade early but Joe doesn't want to renew the contract. He wants to go to prepaid and I'm not so sure that is the way to go. We have good credit, have an established cellphone account so why would we want to pay more for a phone? I need to speak to him about this. If I renew my contract now I can get a better phone, not one that will continue to break. At least I can get away from the one I have now anyway.
At least I have my daylight back though. That makes me smile.
