Productive

Hubby and I were up at 6:30 this morning, dressed and with coffee in hand made our way down town to the polling station to vote. When we arrived there was already a line of people standing outside waiting to get in.

Promptly at 7 AM they opened the doors and things went very quickly after that. I voted and so did Hubby and then we placed our ballots in the ballot box and came back home for breakfast.

I raced out at 8:45 for Bible Study and then was back home by 10:30 with the mail in hand.

Hubby was still working on screening the porch windows, painting and also re-screening the door to the green house. This occupied almost his entire day. He did manage to get my garden soil turned for next year with fresh fertilizer.

Meanwhile I decided to wash down all my counter tops with bleach. This took me from just after lunch until dinner. I have a lot of counter tops in this house and they all needed to be cleared and washed and reorganized!

Kimmy and Sarah came over after school and I shared a cup of tea with them until it started getting late and then sent them on their way.

I made dinner, fed the dogs and now at nearly 7 PM I am ready to just put on my pajamas and slippers and read.

I’m tired of all the political speculation and all the “spin talk”. I just want it to be over, so I sure am looking forward to tomorrow morning.

I also have Weight Watchers to go to and I’m hoping that I once again have done well. I sure have been working hard on that.

  3. Happy to tell you that from the around 40000 Americans living in Belgium all voted for Obama. There was an interview of some of them in the local TV. And Obama won ! I am happy for them. Today probably I will have a special time in my fitness club ! there are so many Americans !
    Yesterday night they had an election party in a big Hotel in Brussels, to follow the elections on big screens. All where for Obama. I didn’t see a single sign of McCain !

  5. Ooo! Bible Study! What are you studying? My Monday night group is just finishing up 1 & 2 Peter. Was this your first day? I’m sO happy for you!

  6. I can’t wait for all the CHANGE! I will be watching to see just how this will plays out over time. I think there are going to be many disapointed people, no President can work miracles.
    We had a situation in our town where everyone was upset and voted for the change and guess what? They got it alright, but it isn’t what everyone thought it would be and promises were broken. It’s just the way it is.

  7. Hi Mom,

    Sounds like you had a good and productive day! Matt and I tucked out of the office a little early yesterday, so that we could go vote…. We actually watched the coverage most of the evening as well, and I stayed up to watch both McCain’s concession speech, as well as Obama’s victory speech. I thought that both were very good.

    Today, we go to sign the lease at lunchtime! 🙂

    Have a great day today, and good luck at Weight Watchers. No matter what, you are doing great! 🙂

    Lots of love,

    Mandy
