I VOTED!!!

Tonight Danny and I went and did our early voting. We got there at like 6:00 and didn't leave until 7:45!!

If early voting is that long I am glad I will not have to wait in line on November 4th! Next year though, I will probably send mine in by mail. Almost everyone I know has done there's by mail this year...I have always just went to the precinct.

Regardless of who you are voting for this is one of the most important elections of our time and the country needs some TLC...so take the time and go vote....its your American right!!!

Weekly Plans

So today my cell phone rings and it was a phone number with a 352 are code (Gainesville) right away my heart starts beating a little faster and so I answer it and the voice on the other end says "Is this is Jennifer?" I said "Yes", the then I hear "I Jennifer, this is Becky from Dr. Baz's office I am just calling to confirm your appointment on Wednesday" I take a breath and say "Thanks...we will be there!!"

Holy Crap! All I kept thinking was this is it!! The day I really get the call I am probably gonna pass out or something!

So yes, my appointment is Wednesday at 10:30. Which means my mom will come to my house tomorrow when she gets off of work and spend the night that way bright and early Wednesday morning the three of us (mom, me & Danny) can get up and make the 4 hour drive to Gainesville for my visit.

I will be sure to let everyone know how my appointment goes. I am not scheduled for any test but my luck they will decide to throw some in there...they always do!

BTW.....did anybody else hear that Sarah Palin was found guilty by the Alaskan Panel who was investigating for a scandal now known as "Troopergate" of indeed abusing her authority and breaking state ethics law by trying to remove her former brother-in-law from his state trooper job? Now that Palin has been found guilty, not of a crime but of indeed abusing her authority and breaking state ethics law by trying to remove Wooten as state trooper, her reputation as a reformer and a champion for good government may be at stake....hmmm....is this what she considers being a Maverick?? Interesting...

Also, just in case anyone is sitting around and you want TRUTHFUL info about the candidates, what they are for/against and anything that has been said about them got to Factcheck.org they are a nonpartisan, nonprofit "consumer advocate" for voters that aims to reduce the level of deception and confusion in U.S. politics!

I know I probably shouldn't talk politics on my blog but its the only place I feel I can say what's in my head without someone arguing with me about it or giving me a hard time because I have my own beliefs (my dad and my husband are two of the biggest ones and it kind of hurts my feelings.) I was undecided for awhile on who I should vote for (yes, I usually lean more left but I was still open till I watched the debates and learned about both candidates) but as I learn more and more about who John McCain and now Sarah Palin are as people (not even looking if I agree with there policies yet...don't get me started) I am becoming more clear.

When I found out about John and his first wife (I wrote a post earlier about this) and found how/why he left her it gave me a really upset hurt feeling inside and all I could think was that could be me...and I am tearing up thinking it right now...but what if Danny one day decided he didn't want to be with me because I have to many issues now and I don't have the same health as I did 3 years ago (I know he never would but this is what I feel for this woman who was in a crippling car accident that left her disfigured and then John McCain left her for a pretty/younger version.) It makes me sick to even think about him right now and to think there are still people out there today who won't vote for Obama JUST because he is black and believe me I know a few and its just sad.

Anyway....I just hope that people make a informed decision and that whatever happens helps this country begin to heal and become great! Don't forget to watch the FINAL debate on Wednesday night!!! I know I will!!!

Wednesday Morning

It's been a few days since I wrote anything so here I am!

This weekend was kind of slow, Danny had to work ALL weekend. I tell you I have one of the hardest working husbands in America he works 6 days a week every week and then sometimes seven if his dad needs the work to get done (he works for his parents construction company.) The thing that makes me feel bad for him is he is usually the only one besides his dad to actually work on Sunday's (he has three brother's who work for the company who choose to stay home instead of helping.) I just worry about him cause I don't want him getting run down and he has such a HUGE feeling of responsibility to his family and work that he can't say no if they ask him to work and they know that. OK enough about that...

Monday, I went into work for a little bit. That was nice to get out of my house for awhile and see everybody but boy was I tired by the time I got home! I just can't wait till I can go back to work and actually be there all day like I used to.

Yesterday was a big day....I taught Brodie how to sit and shake!! It took me ALL day to get that little turd to sit he just did NOT want to budge but eventually he did and then the shake came pretty easy. I also made him an appointment for the Vet on Thursday to get him all checked out and to get him started on a heartworm/flea medicine like revolution or something.

Last night I also watched the Presidential Debates. I was getting so annoyed......all they both do is keep saying the same stuff over and over again no matter what the question is. If I have to here John Mccain say one more time that he is a "Maverick" I think I will throw something at my tv! :)

Speaking of John McCain, I just want to address something that has been bothering me. He likes to illustrate his moral fibre by referring to his five years as a prisoner-of-war in Vietnam and to demonstrate his commitment to family values but do any of you know the story of his first wife and why they got divorced? He married Carol McCain in 1965 she was a famous beauty and successful swimwear model and they had 3 kids. He then went off to Vietnam where he was a POW.

During this time his wife Carol was in a horrible car accident her pelvis and one arm were shattered by the impact and she suffered massive internal injuries. When Carol was discharged from hospital after six months of life-saving surgery, the prognosis was bleak. In order to save her legs, surgeons had been forced to cut away huge sections of shattered bone, taking with it her tall figure. She was confined to a wheelchair and was forced to use a catheter. Through sheer hard work, Carol learned to walk again. But when John McCain came home from Vietnam, she had gained a lot of weight and bore little resemblance to her old self. Today, she stands at just 5ft4in and still walks awkwardly, with a pronounced limp. Her body is held together by screws and metal plates.

Once he got home, as a was hero we began to run in more elevated circles and running around with girls (he has admitted to this.) In 1979 he met Cindy McCain over the next six months he pursued her, flying around the country to see her. Then he began to push to end his marriage. Five weeks after his divorce was final he married Cindy. His new father-in-law gave him a job and introduced him to local businessmen and political powerbrokers who would smooth his passage to Washington via the House of Representatives and Senate.

For a guy who makes such a big deal about his character it makes me kind of wonder what kind of character he has since he not only MULTIPLE times cheated on his wife but then left his crippled wife for a million dollar heiress 18 years his junior!

Doesn't sound to good to me but what do I know!!! :)
