Par-tay. Not.

I wish I was more fun.
I wish I had more energy.
I'd do this:

But I'm not.
And I don't.
So I won't.
I'm having a hard time even mustering up the desire to go vote. I am a strong believer in voting. But I don't want either of the candidates in office. One of them makes me physically ill. The other one scares me.
I'll let you decide which is which.

Amen Sister. I early voted just to avoid the lines and to say that I voted, but... I wanted 'None of the Above.'

i went on my way home this morning and i was in and out in under 5 min-- no lie:D i've felt the same way about the candidates, but I also feel VERY compelled for some reason to make a decision and vote-- something told me this morning, it doesn't matter who will win, what matters is the choice you make-- probably doesn't make sense-- but it did to me-- happy election day-- :D

My name is Andrea November 4, 2008 at 1:17 PM  

me too, in and out.

sarah, it makes total sense, i feel the same way!

Dude. They BOTH make me physically ill. McCain's yellow old man teeth gross me out ... and Obama's chain smoking habit makes me want to vomit. lol.

Lines?? What lines? I walked right up. In fact, I saw more volunteers than voters. SAD!!!! Even more disheartening, so many thought they were registered and were not. Don't assume like we did that when you move and change your address on your driver's license online and click the yes button to register to vote, that you actually are.

I feel that exact same way. I have felt really torn. Not that it really matters because it really doesn't because Texas is Republican, but morally I felt like I had to make a good decision and there just aren't good choices. Ugh!

Tiff Gatten November 4, 2008 at 3:52 PM  

I'm totally having an election party. Red, White, and Blue everything...150 people....And Obama will sweep Utah. Obviously I'm kidding...Get off your butt and go vote! For whoever...

Dan + Laurie Udy November 4, 2008 at 4:08 PM  

I really can't figure out why people think it is going to be bad. Nothing can be worse than what we have now.

Lauren in GA November 5, 2008 at 8:42 AM  

I agree...I kept asking myself...which one is the best of 2 bad choices...

When an opponent declares, 'I will not come over to your side,' I calmly say, 'Your child belongs to us already... What are you? You will pass on. Your descendants, however, now stand in the new camp. In a short time they will know nothing else but this new community

My name is Andrea November 5, 2008 at 11:12 AM  

Yes, Rick, Hitler said it best...

Jess November 5, 2008 at 5:38 PM  

I made election party cupcakes!! But they were nothing like those. They were just normal with white frosting....hahaha, but the cupcake holders were red and blue, so I guess that counts. I know what you mean about the candidates...ugh. (Oh, and about me crying...don't worry, I think I was just shedding a tear over some sappy commercial or something) :)

"I am one of [Jesus Christ's] witnesses, and in a coming day I shall feel the nail marks in his hands and in his feet and shall wet his feet with my tears. But I shall not know any better then than I know now that he is God's Almighty Son, that he is our Savior and Redeemer, and that salvation comes in and through his atoning blood and in no other way."--Bruce R. McConkie, "The Purifying Power of Gethsemane"

"...we must be careful, as we seek to become more and more godlike, that we do not become discouraged and lose hope. Becoming Christlike is a lifetime pursuit and very often involves growth and change that is slow, almost imperceptible. The scriptures record remarkable accounts of men whose lives changed dramatically, in an instant... But we must be cautious as we discuss these remarkable examples. Though they are real and powerful, they are the exception more than the rule. For every Paul, for every Enos, and for every King Lamoni, there are hundreds and thousands of people who find the process of repentance much more subtle, much more imperceptible. Day by day they move closer to the Lord, little realizing they are building a godlike life. They live quiet lives of goodness, service, and commitment. They are like the Lamanites, who the Lord said "were baptized with fire and with the Holy Ghost, and theyknew it not." (3 Ne. 9:20; italics added.)"--Ezra Taft Benson, "A Mighty Changeof Heart"
