It's Election Day
Please pass the Xanax.
Seriously, I have never felt this nervous about an election.
But at least the campaign ads go away today...
It’s all coming back to me now
So you should know that I am not a “shopper”. I live in shopping mall heaven — I’m ten minutes from the Broadway Mall, 15 from Roosevelt Field and 25 from Whitman Shoppes — but I seldom go to the mall. I prefer to shop on line. And when I do venture into a store, I usually know what I want and buy it as quickly as possible. I’m not one to browse through stores just to see what’s for sale. There’s a local chain, Baked By Melissa , that specializes in mini cupcakes. They’re primarily in Manhattan. A few years ago Becca introduced me to their product - delicate little cakes, exquisitely decorated, very tasty. I walk past their shop on 7th Avenue whenever we go to the theater. Well, last week I remembered that they used to have a second shop on 7th, right next to the original shop, but selling gluten-free versions of all their cupcakes.

DeleteI know that part 1,000,000 of the nightmare begins tonight after all our country's polls close. But, even if the person whom I hope wins does win, he (and she) have a very long road ahead of them. Very long road - and will they be given the support they need by Congress? Still, we won't be living under daily crazy anymore if that happens. Alana ramblinwitham.blogspot.com

DeleteI hope most everyone just stay home for few days, and remember we all Americans. Thank you for voting.

I hope so too
DeleteMy father predicts a landslide. Of course, he predicted that last time. And he said (after being wrong) that things wouldn't be so bad. So, not all that keen on his prognosticating skills. But at least we don't have arguments in my family. (I come from a long line of liberals.)
ReplyDeleteMy grandmother became a citizen of this country as an adult and was proud to exercise her vote. In her later years she voted by absentee ballot. She’d tell my aunt, “make sure you mark it for the Democrat.” All of her descendants are Democrats.
