Don't be an Eeyore.....VOTE!!!!!

Eeyore, the old grey Donkey, stood by the side of the stream, and looked at himself in the water.
"Pathetic," he said. "That's what it is. Pathetic."
He turned and walked slowly down the stream for twenty yards, splashed across it, and walked slowly back on the other side. Then he looked at himself in the water again.
"As I thought," he said. "No better from this side. But nobody minds. Nobody cares. Pathetic, that's what it is."

I can't take credit for this....it was posted on a message board today, but I thought it was a great reminder that no matter what side you are on, get out and VOTE today. It's your constitutional right!

What date is it again?

November 3? Really? Anyone want to verify that for me?

The reason for my confusion is that we are enjoying some UNSEASONABLY warm weather here in Iowa. Nearly every day for the past week I've had my windows open in the afternoon....crazy!

Today it's supposed to get to 74 degrees and tomorrow to 70. Then we'll quickly go back to "normal" (40-50 degrees). So I'm going to enjoy these last couple warm days.

On my "to-do-while it's-warm" list for today and tomorrow:

• ride bikes with the kids
• hang laundry on the clothesline
• dig up some tulip bulbs that got clustered together and replant them spaced apart
• have a picnic lunch with Andrew
• play at the park after school
• go running

It's amazing how a spurt of warm weather (when there shouldn't be any) will make you appreciate it and want to spend every second outside.

Off to soak up some sunshine....
