Elections!

Here I am bloggers, writing to you with less than 5 hours of sleep. Why you ask? Well I kind of stayed up to watch the results for both the MA elections and the CT elections, since I had two friends running and I wanted to know who would be governor. Well both of my friend lost, one lost by 1500 votes, which is close and my other friend lost by only 261 votes, another close race. The governor in CT, well is still undecided courtesy of Bridgeprt and the secretary of state  - - - Who orders 2,000 ballots for a town that have over 64,000 registered voters?! Anyways, I'm still waiting to hear about the governor in CT, but here in MA some times people just can't think when they vote!!!!!!! Deval has been reelected (why, I don't know), Polito lost (why, I still don't know!), McKenna lost (why? Maybe because he was running against Coakley). The three positives that happened last night between 9pm - 12:30am was that Senator Brewer was reelected and Representative Smola won AND The sales tax on Alcohol was voted down (I do not drink yet)!!!!! Oh, and the Republicans have taken over the house*!!!!


*Side note: We could have taken the senate also, if Reid didn't win in Nevada!


Did your state election turn out the way you wanted it too?

Giving Thanks Day 2

2. I'm thankful for being an American Citizen.

Did you know that it can cost around $15,000 to become an American Citizen, yes you read that number right. $15,000, fifteen-thousand dollars to become an American Citizen. $15,000 can be a down payment on a house! I am so thankful for being born into this country, for being born into freedom, and having a voice and being able to use my voice.

Giving Thanks

I was reading Mocha With Linda and saw this blog post, and I said you know what! I'm going to give it a try! We, humans, need to be more thankful for what we have. Weather it's for people in your life (like S) or for special things (like Girl Scout Cookies) or maybe it's serious (like having a relationship with God). Anyways, if I'm thankful for it I'll put it up on my sidebar, right under the lovely picture that's above and I'll add something I'm thankful for every day of November. If you would like to do this yourself click here!

1. I'm thankful for books!
