I've noticed that a lot of school-aged kids will give me the 1 before the area code and phone number.

My dad does this! ha

So now I have a monstrously high dose of steroids to try to get all the inflammation to de-inflammate, along with a GIANT HORSE PILL antibiotic, and the not-so-effective motion-sickness medication. And the doctor also recommended I take sudafed and claritin to help with the allergic reaction that caused all the fluid to build up.

Jeez louise! I just got, "Sorry, virus. Take care!"

I'm in Missouri so I see tons of political ads albeit at 20x to 30x speed since I skip all of them.

Living in Ohio, the ads are non-stop. We don't watch much TV, so the only time I'm see the ads is at the gym, where there are TVs always on in the cardio machine area. And then because I haven't yet seen them, I always manage to attract attention to myself by snorting "Oh, PLEASE" during McCain ads, or saying "YEAH!" during Obama ads.

I shouldn't be allowed out among the humans.

That's it-- I've officially lost it. I just downloaded a-ha's Hunting High and Low.

I'm bopping in my chair to "Take on Me" and the dogs are looking at me funny.

I get my political tv fixes at the gym. It's my motivation and reward. I get to watch Olbermann, Sanchez, C-Span, etc. I find myself actually wanting to stay on the treadmill longer.

I'm such a political junkie at this point. I noticed my obsession growing through September and now I'm on full tweaker mode. It's going to be one hell of a come down off the ride in November.

I've begun to burn out. I just want the election to get here and stay up watching the results. I wonder how much burn out plays in the last weeks of the election. I'm not sure I even want to watch the last debate, is there anything new to hear? If there is, I can read about it afterwards.

My husband and I have discovered up here that stores have seasons. Like, you can't buy a fan anymore. You can buy a heater. No fans until it stops being cold. At least, not at Target.

Sort of on the same topic, is it practical to freeze a whole peach? I am drinking a smoothie made out of chocolate soy milk and frozen peach slices, and it is OMG so yummy. Can I buy up the last of the season's peaches and have them live in my freezer for six months?

What in the hell does ACORN have to do with Obama? They're talking about it like it's his organization.

He used to be an organizer, didn't he???

Sure -- but I'd slice them first.
