Firming up

Not me of course, I am not firming up. Angus' stools are firming up. He is actually making piles now, a nice change. I do admit that you can still slip in a pile, I have tested this personally. So we took your advice, you voted and we listened. Not really, I don't care about approval ratings and I wasn't elected to this office (The Poll has been removed). We just put him back in with the does. They have adjusted to him now. When he gets bigger, I don't know what we will do with him.

The weather is warm and the ground is soggy and muddy. We are under a flood warning for the next few days, the first one this year. It is suppose to be close to 70 degrees tomorrow, unreal!

It's Almost Over

All of the campaigning is nearly over, no more campaign mail in my mailbox, no more news reports about how many points Obama is leading McCain by. No more telephone surveys wanting to know who I would be more likely to vote for if the election were held today. It was really overdone this year, we got way too many calls and way too much junk mail.

I have a friend who is on a cruise, I told her that she might want to consider staying out of the country depending on who gets elected. She thought that it might be an interesting few days, watching people throw themselves overboard when they get the election results.

Back to the real world, I had so much fun today that I can hardly contain myself. I went to Wal-Mart, purchased a face mask, the kind that covers your mouth and nose. Then I came home and attacked the goat/chicken shed with a broom and a shovel.

There were times that I couldn't see my hand in front of my face because the dust was so thick or my glasses were so dusty, I'm not sure which. My eyes got full of chicken poo dust and they still feel like they have sand in them several hours later.

Chickens sure do make a mess, it really didn't smell that bad and it cleans up pretty easy but it creates a lot of dust and I wouldn't recommend tackling it without a mask to protect your lungs. Safety goggles might not be a bad idea either.

If you don't have your own chicken house to clean, you might consider finding someone who does and volunteering for the job. It might help you clear all of this year's election drama out of your mind, like tonight's news of Palin being cleared of any wrongdoing in the State Trooper scandal. They cleared her just in the nick of time, on election eve. They didn't dare clear her after the election that would have been to obvious.

Already Voted

We voted absentee yesterday at the Courthouse. We did it to avoid the long lines on Election Day. The trouble was that there was a long line at the Courthouse. They said that it has been like that every day. The workers can hardly get a lunch break of go to the restroom.

My DH also got a haircut yesterday and an angry debate broke out, with only one Democrat fighting for his life and the others questioning his sanity. It all worked out alright though we canceled his vote with ours.

When it comes down to it, Abortion is the main reason that I vote. The only person that I really voted for is Sarah Palin and I didn't even get to put a check by her name. There are other things about America, other issues that have been the backbone of this great country that are falling by the wayside and they are going away so quietly that we hardly notice. I don't want a leader who hates America, I want one that will love and protect her.

Exciting!

Is anyone as excited about Sarah Palin as I am? My neighbor said it best last night, she told me that she hasn't been able to vote FOR a President in many years, she has only voted against Presidents, the lesser of two evils. She is looking forward to being able to vote for a Vice President this year.

Sarah Palin even makes John McCain look and sound better. He made the right choice. Here is hoping for the next 16 years!
