Mostly politics

1. It seems too cruel that Obama's grandmother died the day before the election. I can only imagine how hard she must have fought to live just one more day.

2. I'm nervous as hell about the election. Watching Maddow did nothing to calm me as she ticked off the many things that could go wrong because so many states are not prepared to deal with the expected crush of voters. As the Republican activist pointed out, they don't want a high turnout. A high turnout only benefits the Democrats. Anything that slows down the process, that locks people out will benefit McCain. If he wins on that technicality . . . well, if nothing else, maybe it would lead to some election reform.

3. I haven't been sleeping well. Dar blames it on the election :) I'm not sure what it is, but I know that I wake up literally at least a dozen times during the course of the night. It's probably the prednisone. OK, maybe some of it is the election.

4. I bought some Bailey's today. Take that, #3!

5. Does anyone have a spare Obama08 button they can spare? It just occurred to me that I have no memorabilia from this historic election. I'm not a collector, but this should be an exception. Maybe sparky77 can bring one back with her, please? I promise not to tease you for 12 hours if you would :)

I have an Obama '08 sticker I'll send back with Denise. And an Obama Pride sticker I got at the pride parade if you want it.

That would be great! Thank you very much :)
