Happy to Be Blue

Halloween was quite the sugary success. Our friends gave Alison and Henry these loot bags that encouraged them to knock on every blessed door for treats and more treats, and yep, more treats. The side of the bag had markings to track how successful my kiddies were at their treating. The bags read (from bottom to tippy top): "Super Start," "Way to Go!" and "JACKPOT!" Of course we went a hauntin' until their bags were a sweet jackpot of goodies!!!

So the election is over, and though things didn't turn out quite the way I wanted, I feel happy and proud to live in a "Blue" state. There are some issues that Hank and I feel adamant about, and we find comfort in the fact that most Californians feel the same way we do. Yesterday I cast my vote via absentee ballot; I like to take my time voting in the comfort of my own home. Turns out I was fortunate I requested an absentee ballot because I was quite under the weather yesterday. As Alison would put it, I was feeling "Yucky Nucky" or as Henry would say, "Mama, Ucky?"

Okay here's a funny bit that a friend from work sent me. Cheered me up straight away! Look HERE

Be proud to be blue, although red is a nice color too - that rhymes LOL! Most Europeans are "Yucky Nucky" too at the moment (Bush isn't liked here at all) I don't know yet how I feel, I really thought Kerry was going to win, but everything colored rather red on the map - it's sad :o(
