Civic duty complete

My accomplishments:
- I voted last week.
- I watched one friend's son while she voted (hooray, someone took me up on my offer!).
- I helped J get up really freakin' early this morning to go work our polling precinct.
- I brought J and all of his fellow poll workers freshly baked maple sugar cinnamon cookies. They *loved* them.
- In delivering said cookies I got a new "I voted" sticker for Doodle whom I then proceeded to photograph wearing the sticker (see my new profile pic).

I feel like this Election Day is going well. We won't have swim class tonight (cancelled, dangit!) but we'll hang out listening to the radio until J is done working. Then it's off to an Election Party for a while before turning in for the night with visions of a better tomorrow dancing in our heads.

Wishing you all a good and happy Election Day!

Today's the day...

Have you voted? No seriously. Have you?

If you haven't, I'm home all day. I can watch your kid(s), do some baking for your election party...whatever it is that's weighing on your mind and keeping you from going to the polls. You really have no excuse now.

This is really important. Please go vote.

Thank you.

Early voting, and an incentive

Alright all you Cache Valley readers, pay attention. Early voting is available this week in four convenient locations. All the info is below. There is talk that voter turnout will be huge this year, so beat the lines on Nov. 4th by voting early. Added incentive for my local friends: if you want to vote early, bring your kids over to my place. I'll watch them while you go vote. Give me maybe a half-hour advanced notice, but seriously. I want you to vote. I want to enable you to vote. Plus I like your kids. So bring 'em on over. Now you have no excuse to not vote. Check out the times and locations for early voting below, then let me know when you'll be stopping by. Happy Voting!

(to those without kids: I can watch pets or do grading too! I'm no help on the molecular-related lab work, but I can keep an eye out for cool birds in my backyard while you're busy voting if it'll make you feel better.)
