I have never been good with politics. I take things far too personally and I worry that people will not understand the true meaning of what I say or think. So, why am I running for office in my home town? Well, I guess because I really believe I can do a good job.
Tonight is a “Meet The Candidates” gathering. I need to go and shake a few hands, say hello and introduce myself to some of the people in this town that do not know me.
I have done my hair, put on full make-up and changed my clothing three times (why did Hubby have to mention how big my hips looked in that first blouse?), until I was finally satisfied that I wouldn’t scare little children and the elderly.
I’m feeling very nervous, but I know that this is part of what one does during election times. My term will be for three years, so if I win, I won’t have to go through this again for a while.
*****************
I’m back from the meeting. Basically, because I am running unopposed, all I had to do is stand up and wave! Window candy! LOL!!!
So I made it through tonight. All I need to do is make it through Tuesday, and I will be all set. Wish me luck!
You’re a beautiful woman Maribeth, inside and out, and so obviously want to do serve your community. Everyone will see that, you’ve got nothing to be nervous about.
I´m glad you made it through ok. You will win, I´m sure of it! 🙂
Good Luck!!! Love YOU, Mel
Good luck with Tuesday, and glad to hear that last night went well.
Love you!

Yes ! I wish you luck and for that they say in french “a big bag of sh..t” !
Your hubby sounds like mine. He says that same thing, only because he knows that will say it myself so he might as well do it for me;) I’m sure you looked just great. Plus, we all know that we should vote on how someone looks!
*GRIN* … Maribeth… if you are running UNopposed how could you NOT win??? Sounds like a shoe-in to me! But GOOD LUCK! By all means! I’m sure you can do it!
