Election Day

I do like working on Election Day (except for the waiting!), but I must say I'm jealous of Uncle Crappy, who got the night off. Actually, though, the one election night I did have off (when I lived here, not in cali) I didn't know what to do with myself.

Anyway, the waiting is the hardest part, and that's what I'm doing right now. That, and watching American Idol. Note that I said "watching," not "listening." I really haven't been that interested since Sanjaya got booted. I do want Melinda to win, though -- although I won't be upset if Jordin wins.

Anyway (again), the love lust of my life (Well, for the time being at least) is calling me sometime tonight to get election results. That will be the best part of the whole night. Yes, I'm a sick, sick woman.

To Certain (PA) Political Activists ...

I'm sorry you don't like my state senator but, I do (personally and professionally). If I, and his other constituents, think he's doing a good job, we'll re-elect him. If you don't think he's doing a job in his leadership position, tell your senator not to vote for him next time.

OK. I realize this post will do absolutely nothing to change the situation, but it made me feel better.

Hey You!

A Sign from God

OK. There's this guy I'm obsessed with. (Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Surprise. Surprise. Anne's obsessed with a guy.) Anyway, I know I shouldn't be obsessed with this guy. At least I think I shouldn't be. So, as I was getting ready to go to church on Sunday, I was telling myself all the reasons I should stop thinking about him and just get on with my life. Then, because I was on my way to church, I joked a little with myself and said "Unless, of course, I get a sign from God."

So, I'm sitting in Mass listening to the homily and the priest says "When I was in (this guy's hometown), I got to be friends with (the guy) and his family ..."

Sign from God? Hmm?

A Kindness Revolution

... highlights from my talk show on Wednesday ...

One Kindness


Here's something you could do ... Say "Wow, Anne doesn't look goofy at all!" ;)

Words

In my job, I have to look at a lot of newspapers throughout the day. I'm astounded that these two gems came from the same publication within days of each other -- by different writers about different people.

"...incumbent [name deleted] currently holds the seat."

"...will benefit constituents locally."

Can you say "redundant?" And repetitive, too?

A True Hero

Whether or not you agree with the war, you have to support the troops (at least I hope you do).

Please go to Jason's Memorial to see why I do.

Aww, Our Little Anne is Growing Up

The infamous GSG of so many of my posts during the last few years is getting married (and not to me). And ya know what? I'm happy for him. I really am. I was actually suprised that I was happy. But I'm glad I am, as long as he is. He deserves to be.

Know what else? This is my second post this month. When's the last time I posted more than once in a month? Know what else? Number three is coming up in just a couple of minutes. Wouldn't be appropriate to put that post in with this one.

Happy New Year!

Happy New Year!

Well, yeah. I'm late. Big surprise. I really miss blogging but, and I'm not kidding or exaggerating, I really don't have time. Everytime I say "I should blog about that ..." something else pops up, and I never get around to blogging. I hate it when life gets in the way of blogging.

Know what else I hate? Being totally, completely, utterly ... and disgustingly crazy about a guy who doesn't have time for me. Not that he won't give me the time of day. He's very nice (and slightly flirty) whenever I see him and talk to him on the phone, but he literally does not have time for me, or much of anything non-work-related. It sucks. Really. He's nice and smart and honest and motivated and compassionate and funny and ... Well, you get the idea.

The saddest part about this whole thing is that while I'm pining over this guy who doesn't have time for me, another guy wants to date me (we've gone out once) and, while I think he's nice enough, I'm just not interested in anything beyond dinner and a movie, ya know? Well, I know ya don't know because I haven't explained anything. Let's just leave it at this: Remember the "Italian Guy Named Joe" thing I blogged about (briefly. Very briefly.)? Well, guy number #2 is not a Joe.

I Missed a Month?!?

I didn't blog at all in October?!? How can that be?! Well, I'm not going to promise to do better in November because, among other things, NaNo will be keeping me busy. Like I don't have enough to do. Work keeps me pretty busy, and I also have a not-so-small part in the latest play.

Anyway, just in case I don't get back here before the end of the month ... Happy Thanksgiving!
