yep, that's about right.
ReplyDeleteI can't wait until this election is OVER!
Exactly how I feel...except add a poopy diaper.
ReplyDeleteI agree with the Cap'n. Cheerleaders would help. Nekkid if possible.

ReplyDeleteI need caffeine. That wonderful thing I gave up a few weeks ago.
Try living here and being subjected to the American and Canadian election crapola. The humanity!
ReplyDeleteI'm counting the days until it's all over.
ReplyDeleteI guess I'm just not watching enough TV to get really bothered by it, but I am tired of people getting so bitter with one another....
