hi gwen!
we voted today at our little town hall...no line...and paper ballots. it was quiet but still nice. i tried to imagine all of the folks who have voted in that beautiful space. grub's cocktails sound good. xo
Today is the day!! I am soo excited as well. I took a 3 hour lunch to go volunteer with the Obama Campaign.
And I found your blog randomly a week ago (I have been lurking) and have since added you to my blog roll.
Neat stuff you got here ...
i love yr blog & visit it everyday. vous etes vraie artiste xo mcm
I love that everyone is so excited to vote - it gives me hope!
I love that building. It would cheer me to drive by it.
And in France we are waiting with you !!
I recently found your blog & LOVE it. I felt the excitement in the air today too...and was so thrilled to be a part of it. I just voted and cannot wait to see the outcome. Obama!
On my way to vote in less than an hour...All the way here in Hawaii :)...Obama all the way!
I made a cake with that same picture on it for my mom's Obama party! I too am celebrating with some friends shortly, enjoy the party!
i feel the same way on election day. and today. so much more so. i tried to vote at 645 am, and when i drove by (and decided i would go back later because the line was so long) and saw all of the cars, i started to cry. so exciting.
the waiting is killing me.....
so good you have a cocktail maistro
so
very
nice. =]
the school where i teach is a voting precinct and we were lucky and had school and got to watch the political process in action.
your blog is interesting. i am glad i happened upon it whilst on an internet wander.
visit the alemanac anytime!
You have a very beautiful blog.
Obama won!!!
Outburst...sorry. :)
In the opinion of a professional bartender, any drink that mixes whiskey and tequila is trouble.
I agree with Joe (probably the only agreement all election season I will have with Joe!)--those cocktails sound AWFUL.
How about something straight up to keep one's vision clear--may I suggest either a stately, classic bourbon (McCain) or a slightly dry champagne (Obama).
Let's raise the glass of our choice and have a heartfelt toast to the end of the Christine-Gregoire-sacrifices-babies -and-drinks-their-blood/Dino-Rossi-is-gutter-slime commercials.
hi there...
i stumbled across your blog through - blogs of note...
love your dress style...

even in australia we have had constant updates on the election....it was mammoth...
well, first gotta say: Congrats... and yes I feel the exact same way here when I get to votting day =)
And... well the drinks sound good to me... although I think I'm more of a "hope" girl...
Hi! I found your blog a while ago, and enjoy it! Iøm following from Denmark - glad to see Aquavit was on Obamas side :-) And congratulations. I too have hope. Yes we can!
(My blog is: praestens.blogspot.com - unfortunately it's in Danish)
YES! YES! YES!!!!!!
Hubby and I voted last Wednesday when the lines were pretty short. We anxiously watched the election reports on ABC, while discussing with 12 yr old and eating pizza. Very education for him, and exciting for us. I blogged during the night at: www.thorntonwilliamsfamily.blogspot.com ... Enjoy! Vikki
hi, really cool blog. you are a talented poet/writer. i am new to blogger and i've started a blog about my melodramatic life. please check it out and give me any suggestions you have!
YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY
Drove up 14th St last night, words can't describe, and I seem to be getting choked up every five minutes.
Nice pictures....neat blog.
Nice pictures....neat blog.
Great photos. Interesting blog. I hope you'll visit my blog to enter our blog contest. My pictures aren't as cool as yours, but still....
I left early from work to vote with NO line. Of course, I'm in VA, not DC. But it was such an exciting day. Yes we did!
Nice Blog. Very interesting.
I think we should start a petition to make Election Day and the Day After Election Day, national holidays. You can feel the festive spirit in the air... and it's not just because Thanksgiving is coming.
