Blahs

I have the blahs. You know when one thing after another begins to go wrong. It is usually small things but occasionally they mount up and I get the blahs. Here is my Blah list: My flash drive is not working- if someone can actually fix it (and it isn't a guarantee) it will be at least $150- that is better than my 1st quote of $259- yikes: I have a blister in the back of my mouth and my throat is sore but I am too busy to take off: I had progress reports and conferences for the past 2 weeks- culminating with an hour conference that is only supposed to take 20 minutes. Ok I'm finished now. I feel better! A little venting helps. On a good note, Anthony is back and I have someone to talk to when I get home and 2 parents told me I made their kids feel smart. Woo Hoo:)

Single for a week....

Anthony is leaving tonight for a week of training. I am not sure what to do with myself. I won't have as much to do but I also think it is a full time job to enteratin myself. I am thinking of doing some painting, some Holiday baking and cleaning the house in places I wouldn't normally think to clean (yes there are places I don't always clean). Wish me luck. I have never lived a wek by myself ever. I could go stir crazy:)

VOTE!

Last time I voted I was 18. I quit because I never was all that interested and I was summoned for Jury Duty (YUCK). I finally decided to put my name back in the voting poll this year. I am actually excited. There are so many issues I feel affect me and all of us. Even thinking about a family in the future I believe it is important for me to do what I can now. I have such a respect for those people who have a passion for our government and would like to work to be more that way. I don't think I have seen this much spirit and pride my whole life. It is a shame that as Americans we take so much for granted (believe me I am at fault too) and it has taken so much to get us motivated. It is an important time to take stock in what is going on around us- so regardless if you vote McCain, Obama or Jimmy Buffett just VOTE! I figure that if our soldiers are in a war (rather you agree with it or not) we can at least vote for the fact that they protect our freedom. If you are interested there are some great documentaries on Insight's SunDance Channel that will get you fired up and will make you want your voice to be heard.
