Voting, Travels, House Hunting and more....

Today has been a slow day and I am the only one in the office at the moment, so I thought I would take a second to capture a few of my latest thoughts....

Let's start with Oklahoma's Primary Election. Now, most people my age didn't event know there was an election yesterday. Which is fine, I know I am among the minority. I was the odd child who loved political science and history and geography, etc. I was the one who sprinted to the polls when I was old enough to vote. My mom may or may not have even taken pictures of me casting my ballot. I can't be sure, but I know there was an attempt at documenting my "coming of age." Now for this election, I have to be honest, I did not follow it too closely. But I did vote. I like to remind my loving husband that I (meaning women in general) have only been able to vote for 80 years while he (meaning men in general) has been able to vote for like, 200 years. When you think about it, by voting, I feel it is more of a celebration than anything else. I mean I would pop open the champagne and call it an excuse to drink if they would let me. But those lovely volunteers in the polling places seem pretty no nonsense. So alas, I soberly cast my ballot, but deep down I am celebrating. Call it my women's lib for the day.

In other news, my job is somewhat, well, unstable at the moment. I am trying to be patient and not freak out, but it is a little unnerving. What is more unnerving is the fact that I don't know what I want to be when I grow up. My field is pretty narrow...while the industry itself is of decent size, my hometown just doesn't lend itself to how I make a living. We shall see what comes out of all of this.

I am pleased to update everyone that my loving husband is on board with the house hunting idea! Wha-hoo! We are not ready to make an offer on anything just yet, but let's just say we have agreed to start looking together. Since we have started looking at houses together, I have been finding more and more informational brochures in those handy-dandy "info" boxes. This all but confirms my suspicions he was stealing them a while back so as to throw my hunt off course. Rude.

Finally, we are headed to Kansas City on Friday for a family wedding. I plan to sing, "Got to Kansas City on a Friday," from the musical "Oklahoma!" the whole way there. I am sure my husband is going to LOVE it. I might even make up an interpretive dance to go along with it. Wait, you ask- how is she going to do an interpretive dance in the car? Well, my friends, you would be surprised at my talent. You really should send thoughts and prayers to my husband on Friday as we make our way up north. He is going to need 'em :)
