That's the Thanks I Get

This year I decided to vote early. It worked out great. I got a sweet parking spot at the city/county building, I had enough skittles to keep Forrest occupied until I was done and Lola slept soundly the entire time. I only had to wait in line about 5 minutes.

During that brief 5 minutes I noticed a certain newsman sitting very importantly at a table taking notes presumably about us awesome early voters. Thanks to the man behind me striking up a conversation with him I learned that the newsman was Chris Vanokur with ABC 4 news.

No big deal.

As I rounded the corner of the line I saw him. The cameraman. I did all could to occupy myself and hide my face while in the line of fire. I must not have done enough. Apparently my greasy not-yet washed and make-upless face along with my nasty ponytail was irrisistable for a freaking closeup on the nightly news. Yikes!

Ah well, paparazzi notwithstanding, I sure felt great after voting. I absolutely LOVE this country!! And for the record I am trying to be optimistic about our new pres-elect. After all, it would be hard for it to get any worse, right??
