My arms are covered in little red itchy bumps. Its gorgeous outside in Wisconsin today so I decided to do a little yard work. Of course "a little" turned into a lot. I started by putting away all the patio cushions and stacking the furniture. Then I noticed how the weeds I neglected to pull had become trees. I cut away until my hands began to get sore, then I recruited my boys to help me.
Together we began to trim bushes and haul away branches. I wasn't wearing gloves and had on short sleeves. Now my arms are a mess. We're taking a break before we try hauling more yard waste away. Maybe we'll get lucky, and the wind will blow it all into the empty lot next to us.
Tomorrow I'm not turning on the TV, the radio or going online. I already voted last week, and I just want a day of peace. Of course that means I'm not answering the phone either.
I don't know why but we've gotten more robot calls than ever before. What infuriates me is McCain's robots. They are easily out numbering Obama's robots 10 to 1, (not that I want Obama robots to call me either. HELLO! I've already voted!) McCain's robots apparently do not communicate with each other, because they call within 5 minutes of each other. When I don't answer my phone, my voice mail is full of calls, all within just a few minutes apart.
It makes me want to push for a NO POLITICAL CALL list. If I can block phone solicitors, I should be able to block political solicitation as well. Especially because McCain robots are calling at 9:00pm!! Not that I'm sleeping, it just I know all other kinds of sales calls or even collection calls can't be made after 8:30pm. ( I used to work in Fraud/Security loss prevention.)
I read an editorial in the newspaper this morning someone thinks its wrong to vote early. Their reason is it goes against tradition and you miss the excitement, similar to "waiting for Christmas to open your presents." Ahh.... I'd rather vote early and not wait in line. As for opening my presents early, its not like voting early means I find out who won early! I don't need more time to decide. I'm not influenced by ROBOTS!! (Unless they do yard work.)
Ok, breaks done. I should go back outside and rake yard waste, but I think cleaning the bathrooms sound like more fun.
GOOD LORD! WHAT IS WRONG WITH ME! I THINK I NEED CHOCOLATE!

be glad when this is over and am glad l have caller id. l wish my state had early voting. I hope by getting there before they open tomorrow l can beat the crowds. Think l'll take a book with me just in case.
Hope you didn't get poison ivy while pulling weeds. My daughter and grandsons do all the yard work here so l lucked out.
Every year I hope our leaves will blow into someone elses yard. lol Usually they do. Last year they didn't. Hoping they will again. lol Hope you didn't get poison ivy.
Cleaning the bathroom fun? You are having chocolate withdrawal. Go eat some now! lol Have a great night!
We had dense fog the entire day, more like pea soup up here than nice weather. But it wasn't cold or rainy so thats a good thing
You are definately in chocolate withdrawls, you need some Dove or Hershey very badly.
OOhh, boy, I agree! If there were a political do not call registry, I'd be on it! My MIL answered the phone last week...it was actually a real person, though, not a robot...and they asked for my FIL (who died in Sept.)...she told them to try heaven. lol
Good luck with the yard waste blowing away. : )
I'm a bit nervous about what kind of lines I'll encounter today. Those people that I know that voted early ended up in two hour lines THEN... so today could be scary.
Most of the calls we've been getting have been from local politicians. Yeah, I think the theory behind all those calls is backfiring on them all!
