Yesterday was just blechy! It was cold and wet and grey. While the rain wasn't quite ice, it was very cold and pointy and attacking me when I went out to do errands. One of the errands was checking the mail. And I had mail! Real mail! For no special reason mail! Too big for my mailbox mail! From one of those awesome people I mentioned yesterday! My bestest friend Kathy sent me this:
The book has drawings by Jim Henson (one of my favoritest people ever!) paired with 'inspirational thoughts' written by Jim Lewis, who worked with Jim Henson for lots of years. The book is really beautiful, with cool drawings and lots of color....I love it! And I love Kathy for knowing how much I'd love it!
In other mail news, we voted!! I e-mailed our absentee ballots to the Buncombe County Board of Elections this morning and am sending the original ballots by Express Mail today! I had requested the absentee ballots a little late in the game and had been worried that we wouldn't get them in time to vote: in North Carolina, absentee ballots must be received by 5:00pm on November 3. But we did it! Since they wil take the ballot by e-mail, we technically got them in four days early! I sincerely hope that all of you who are reading this will be voting (or have voted) as well. Of course I'd prefer it if you were voting for the candidate that I would like to see win (hint - it rhymes with Schmobama). But more important, I hope you take advantage of the privilege that voting is. And as much as I support my candidate, I care more to live in a country where we can not only have different opinions, but express our differences. If that doesn't convince you to vote, you should remember that voting gives you the right to bitch later on if your candidate doesn't win and the person who does win screws everything up! In my opinion, if you don't vote, you really don't have the right to bitch. So please, please vote.
