Voted.



On Monday, I checked this off my to do list. I was not going to take any chances. And no faulty plumbing is going to stand in my way. I lost my job to the infamous state budget cuts last year and I'm freaked it's going to happen again. So for me, this election is very personal.

I thought the early vote process was quick and painless- there were about a hundred people in line at 3pm with only a 15 minute wait. There were some extra envelopes and signing in the mix, but an astute poll worker stopped me from committing the ultimate sin - sealing the envelope without a poll worker as a witness. Close one. And I utilized the free parking for voters in front of the building. It was hella cold on the Vespa, which 2 sweaters and a coat did not fix, but I made it.

The last day to early vote in Wisconsin is this Friday, November 2nd. For city of Milwaukee dwellers, go to the Zeidler Municipal Building (behind City Hall) from 8:30am to 7:00pm. I'm linking the city website HERE. Go vote!

TV night: The State of the Union



Will you be watching tonight? I'm all excited so I'm sharing this video above to get you excited, too. The State of the Union is like the Academy Awards for Political junkies. It's a lot of fanfare but I am curious to hear what is at the top of the agenda, what he says about partisan rhetoric and if he'll jump on his 2012 campaign. And I want to see what Michelle is wearing.

On a side note, I filled out the Secret Service form today to hopefully arrange a White House tour next month. OMG!
