I voted!!!
I was going to wait until lunchtime, but I got up early and decided to head over and see if there was a line. There was NO ONE there, so I was in and out within 10 minutes.
I was actually a bit giddy when I pressed the touchscreen for Obama/Biden! And I even went back and triple-checked my vote for them to make sure it recorded properly. And, when I was driving away from the church down the street to work, I started singing, "We're gonna get a new preee-sident! We're gonna get a new preeee-sident!!"
Oh, and I got an "I voted" sticker, too.
So I just got back from voting. And I'm sporting patriotic red shirt (union day at work today) with a blue shirt (go dems!) on top of that.
The line was 15 people deep when I got there at 15 minutes before. By the time the polls opened, it was 27 people.
I voted no on lots of propositions and I had an issue with some of the top line inkavote not inking when I voted. But I checked it so no big.
I'm sporting my sticker.
Lori tells me that the line at Starbucks is 11 people long.
IONonElectionN, Gay marriages in Connecticut to begin Nov. 12
HARTFORD, Conn. — Gay marriages in Connecticut can start Nov. 12.
Superior Court Judge Jonathan Silbert on Monday scheduled a hearing on that date to enter the final judgment in the case that allows same-sex marriages in the state.
Woo-hoo!
Oh God, please get me out of this city...
Seriously, I'm not sure I can last until the kids graduate high school.
My puppycam is frozen. Feh.
I had a dream the other night that I went back to Delaware to vote because they had early voting and it was considered to be a swing state. My polling place was the Concord Mall (where my friends & I hung out in highschool) and the line went down 202 about 3 miles. I was talking to people at the end of the line and they were all voting for Obama so I decided I could vote in Maryland instead.
Hee! Mine would have been Christiana Mall. A swing state - I love it! I think I am going to treat myself to lunch at the Charcoal Pit after I vote (not the One True Charcoal Pit, though - I have a closer one now.)
The construction crews working on rennovating the building next door started jackhammering against our shared wall before 8 am this morning. There's just no better way to wake up than with your bedroom walls vibrating hard enough to rattle the picture frames.
Since the noise of their power tools inspired the idiot yippy dog downstairs to bark continuously for the full 90 minutes before I left for work this morning, I do at least hold out some hope that it will lose its voice by the time I get home tonight.
Nathan Bedford Forest? Jeez. It's not like it's even someone where they had to dig for unknown skeletons in the closet. That is so fucking wrong.
Hee! Mine would have been Christiana Mall.
Aw, you guys are making me all nostalgic. Also? Charcoal Pit! One day, Jen, you and me. Mmmm.
I had a chance to vote for Rob Sherman (probably the most famous atheist in the country) for state representative, but I declined.
