Election Season

So, Election Day is right around the corner. Of course this means that there are regular commercials advertising for one candidate or another.
One commercial drives me nuts. There's a 20-something woman who says, "As a father, I know [the candidate]..."
Truthfully, I'm not sure what she knows about the candidate. I get distracted every time by this woman saying that she's a father.
Does it make me want to vote for the candidate? Nope. Does it make me think he hired morons for his publicity? Maybe.

10 for Tuesday

1. We've been having lovely weather here in North Carolina. Love it!
2. I was having a deep conversation with Razor the other day and as I looked into her eyes I realized that she's getting an "old dog" look to her face. And she's getting grey in her muzzle. My little seven year old dog isn't a puppy anymore. But she still chases her tail.
3. I've got a couple of quilts that I'm working on and I'm really excited about them. But I've decided no pictures yet--so you'll have to wait.
4. I went to Las Vegas last month on a business trip. When I wasn't working I had a nice time and went to a couple shows. I especially enjoyed seeing the Cirque du Soleil show Love.
5. My trip to Vegas convinced me that next May, Marty and I should take a Vegas anniversary trip.
6. We stained our deck. And by "we", I mean Marty; though I helped on a couple of the railing dowels. It looks really good.
7. I recently finished reading The Elegance of the Hedgehog. It took me a while to get into it, but once I did I really liked it.
8. Work is going well. But I still haven't taken the patent bar. I need to really put some time into studying.
9. Thanksgiving is right around the corner--we're looking forward to the full house we'll have.
10. It's 12:04--I'm out of Tuesday, so I guess that's it for now.
