When I first signed up for this NaBloPoMo deal I wondered if I would just forget to post one day. That would be much in keeping with my general MO. But, I needn't have feared. It's pretty much on my mind from the second I wake up. Hanging on me. Like an impish monkey, picking at my nits. Ack. Get off me, monkey!!
Are you voting tomorrow? Why of course you are! Silly of me to even ask. As a proud citizen of this great democracy you would rather chop off an appendage than miss a vote. It would never occur to you to think that it's too rainy or too cold or too stupid out to vote. You would never miss the opportunity to cast your vote for the future of your country. You have learned the hard way that every vote counts and, by all that is holy, you will be heard! Oh, you! Have I told you how much I like you lately?
Anyone out there have a sister with an 11-yr old? I do. Funny thing about boys. Around 11 they start to sound a lot like their moms. Especially on the phone. I am just mentioning this because you might not notice it that much and then bam! there you are going on and on about your stupid period to a completely horrified 6th grader who's only crime was answering the phone in your sister's exact tone and cadance. Just saying...
mom, why didn't auntie alana get her period until she was 36?

Dude, so totally right on. About the NaBloPoMo monkey. Except mine throws his shit at me. Naughty monkey!

Whoa - did my comments section bring this 11-year-old boy thing up? That's a strange coincidence...
Naughty monkey? What are we talking about here again??

Nine, ten eleven...forever. They are confusing.
Your comments are perplexing me.

I'm 28 Kara, *remember?* Geez...
Ha! Mignon - it's a coincidence in that I was already going to post about this little gaffe. I did nod in slow agreement with that telemarketer though.
Touch my monkey. Touch it.

You know, I was going to Hock the vote, but Smoove Jazz is much better.
My brother is 12 ... I've endured that embarrassment before ("the hell? Put your sister on the phone!").

It may have been Smooth Jazz on Tues. but it's Easy Listenin' now. By the way, did anyone else notice the irony of the last 2 concessions being by Burns & Allen? Good night Gracie.....
