I screwed up.....only a wee bit though ;)

Ok...just for the record....I must 'out' myself.

I spoiled my Mom's ballot! I've never screwed up a ballot...ever! But I connected a 'yes and no' on the same issue and the machine went off and everyone...litterally, everyone, turned and stared at me! Geesh..........
I had to sign in to be an 'aide' to my folks. Never done that before. Interesting. Dad insisted on marking his all by himself. Yep...he did it. He was so proud of himself. :) No screw up for him....the blind guy did better than his 'seeingeyedbeckandcallgirl'. G figure.
I was given another ballot for Mom and did it correctly the second time....crouching on the floor is NOT a good stance to be in while voting. They took us to the side where the parentals could sit...only 2 chairs there so I crouched. Hummm......

They only had a 25 minute wait which we were happy for. We went about11:00 and they were about the 500th voters. Great turnout.
Of course, Oklahoma is a RED state...so McCain took us......but I'm very pleased with the outcome. It'll be interesting to hear what the Dad 'loops' today. He's certian that 'Obonga" won't do well b/c of his lack of experience....yada,yada,yada..........I'll be trying to change the subject all day I'm sure. It wears me out sometimes. Seriously.
Gotta love 'em though. No apathy there. :)

I was 12 again yesterday. I don't like it when that happens. The Mom gets all controlling at times. I understand it, but I don't like it. She feels very secure when she knows I'm in the same room as her. I need to tell her when I'm going to the bathroom now. Seriously. I was in the 'necessary room' , upstairs,when I heard her holler, "TT, are you up there?" I said yes. " what are you doing?"...I told her I was going 'pottie'.... can you believe this conversation is going on?? WTF "OH", she said, "I didn't know where you were. "

Like I've said before...my life is full. Sometimes, the fun never ends. lol
I'm blessed, this I know.....but sometimes...................................ugh.

Happy Humpie day. Should be interesting.....the sun is out with a storm coming in. My kind of day.
I hope I see a rainbow..........they make me smile.

Not your typical Tuesday!! :)

Just got back from our polling station. Took me, oh, maybe 5 minutes. Seriously! There was a fairly substantial line coming out of the door when I got there. But, someone came out and announced that there was an additional line for A - L . ....and that there was actually NO LINE!!
Well, being the Queen of the alphabet that I am...after I sang the elfing song!!!...I went to the head of my line, got checked in...and did my thing. Viola!! I'm done!!

How exhilarating it was too. I was kicking myself in the arse a few days ago for not voting early...but obviously I didn't have a issue. I put on my sticker...came home and here I am. Ready for my day to begin.....and I still have time to do a quick post before heading to the parentals. That, my blobbies means it's gonna be a great day.

Nothing really new to report. That may change once I get home from my 'job'. Taking the parentals to the polls and marking their ballots should be fun. I printed out the ballots and had them enlarged so Dad could read everything and we could decide ahead of time how to mark the issues. Got Mom's done, but Dad is taking his sweet time deciding on the state issues. Should be interesting to say the least.

So, have a great day blobbies........get out there and make it count, however you vote.
