Election Night

I hope everyone is getting settled for an evening of election results.  We can't wait!  We are having Philly Cheesesteak Sandwiches, and I'm having mine wit.  For those who don't know what I mean, a trip to Philly is in definite order. Nick is really excited and has been memorizing the election map for weeks.  I remember 8 years ago during Bush/Gore making him go to bed at 11 pm without the result of the president.  Little did we know the little guy would've been up for days had we let him stay up for the result.  I'm not sure we still really know the truth.

The thing that sucks is that when you live on the west coast, no one gives a crap that you're not off work, school, or finished getting an interview on a prominent Nevadan before we start to get election results.  By the time we pick up our sandwiches, it could all be over. 

I've read about the long lines at the polling places.  Everyone in my district must be big losers because I didn't wait at all.  In and out in 5 minutes!

Enjoy the returns!  I hope your five-year-old goes to bed knowing the next President of the United States!

Good Morning Melissa - it's 7:50 a.m. in Springfield and Bev just called on her way to KC - looks like Gravy is thinking today's a great day to enter the world! She said Krys called her about 5 and of course Bev had her bags packed and ready to leave immediately. Just thought you'd want to know if you hadn't heard from Krys.
