Go Vote!

It's finally here. I am cautiously optimistic and anxiously awaiting results tonight. I'm going to stay busy today to keep from obsessively watching the news online.

Just go vote already

I'm sooooo tired of the US election. It's been two years, and I'm so done. I have this low grade anxiety about the whole thing, and I can hardly wait until Tuesday night when it's finally over.

I'm contemplating not reading the news for the next week, but I'm so addicted and anxious, I'm not sure I can go cold turkey. Maybe I'll have to restrict myself just to one news website, or just The Daily Show. I've got to do something or I won't make it until Tuesday

Primary Day

It's voting day here in Texas, and it's been all over the news - Obama has momentum, but Hillary tends to do better with hispanic voters, etc. etc. It's also the main topic of conversation around our house. From my brief walk around our neighbourhood yesterday, lawn sign polling showed Obama ahead (three lawn signs to one). Perhaps not a large enough sample size. And, in the interest of full disclosure, one of the Obama signs is on our lawn.

We can't vote of course, but it's still exciting. Usually primaries in Texas don't count, since one of the nominees is way ahead (as it doesn't matter in the Republican contest). The democrats around here (which in Austin, unlike most of Texas, are a majority) are pretty fired up. It's a historic vote.

Kate is the only American in the house, but apparently they don't let babies vote.
