Two Days

Only two more days and it's all over. The election is almost here. I've already voted. Everyone in my family has already voted. That's 9 votes that Barack can count on if the GOP doesn't file a lawsuit.
It has been exciting and I hope it means that our broken government can be fixed and the political process has been taken back from the Rove/Clinton divisive gridlock that has made everyone cynical about government in America. I know that it doesn't have to be that way. Tom DeLay and Newt Gingrich can crawl back under their rocks, the authoritarian shift may be stopped. The unitary executive may be disbanded.
We had a wonderful two days with the MP and her folks. We had baby's first Halloween, the November birthdays and the clash of the Horns and Red Raiders, which was the only low moment of the weekend. UT ran out of steam and let the Raiders stop their winning streak and topple their number one ranking.
We had a house full of company all weekend with the old school chums stopping in on Saturday to show off offspring and the family getting together Saturday night to celebrate all the November birthdays. It was fun cooking Mrs. Massey's chicken spaghetti for the birthday dinner. We learned that you don't want to use Betty Crocker's carrot cake recipe. It isn't carrot cake at all. It was okay because it was spice cake,which goes with Fall and everybody likes cream cheese frosting, but it sure isn't truth in labeling to call it carrot cake. After the rum cake fiasco and now the carrot cake flop, my reputation is getting tarnished. Maybe I can redeem myself at Thanksgiving...if all else fails, I did buy a cheesecake from the drill team fundraiser at school.
Speaking of which, I guess I'd better think of preparing to go back to work tomorrow. The past two days have been so busy and satisfying, I haven't had a thought for work.
