Happy Thanksgiving

I cannot believe that Thanksgiving is already upon us!

I hope that all of you remember to truly be thankful this year. I know that times with family can get a little overwhelming. Trust me, I KNOW. There's always Crazy Aunt Linda who knows everything better than everyone at every table. I usually take a sip every time she opens her loud mouth. Grandma might forget that you're even coming over. Take another sip. And Dad, well, Dad's been snoring in the recliner all day. Maybe he's had too many sips!

Remember that these crazy coots are your family, and crazy family is better than no family. It's only one day. Remember to mind your manners, respect your elders, and try to watch your alcohol intake. Notice I said try. I'm not making any promises either. 

Try and remember how blessed we are to be able to celebrate this Holiday. We can eat as much as we can possibly eat, drink as much as we want, watch football, and even get up at the ass-crack of dawn to go buy more shit we don't need. 

And have fun! Grandpa might be a little off his rocker, but I'll bet he's got some fun stories to tell. After dinner is over, grab some girlfriends and go have a glass (or four) of wine together. Enjoy your friends and family.

See y'all next week! 

Happy Election Day

Good Morning and Happy Election Day!

I hope y'all are exercising your right to get out and vote today. I am fortunate to live in a state that has early voting, so I took advantage of that two weeks ago! Please don't let long lines keep you from doing something so important. So many people fought for the right of all people to vote, so just remember that when you are annoyed with a long line. We are so fortunate to be able to choose our leaders instead of them appointing themselves. We are also fortunate in that we don't always have to agree with our leaders. So keep that in mind when/if this process seems to become overwhelming. I am also of the opinion that if you don't get out and vote, then you don't get to bitch about politics!

I also hope that y'all are being respectful today. There is truly nothing more annoying than someone shoving their opinions down your throat. So please remember that different opinions are what make the world go round. And your opinion isn't always the best. And that's okay. Don't argue with people of different political opinions than yourself. Don't post 100 doomsday scenarios that you think will happen if the other candidate wins. I can assure you that the world will not end if your candidate doesn't win. If the world does in fact end, it will be because of a much higher power than politics. Like I've said before, if we would all mind our manners, the world would be a much friendlier place. So be nice and go vote!
