Thank you!

Thank you all for your kind words yesterday. Unfortunately we weren't triumphant in the election. With about 60% of the precincts in we were at 70%/30% and it looked good, really good, but we ended up losing by around 200 votes.

Its a sad day, for my family but I also think for our county. I won't go into my own personal opinions about the election, but I was alarmed and shocked by actions of some people. But that's politics right?

My step dad will continue to work for the people of our township in his current elected position as he's done since I was in high school. But I don't think he'll run again after this.

My heart just hurts for my parents, who really gave their all for this election and the people in our area. Its an unfortunate turn of events, but it is what it is.

Thank you again for all your love. You guys are the best!!!

Big Day!!

Today is primary election day and my Step Dad is running for Supervisor of Assessments for our county. The election will be decided today since the opposing party will not be running anyone.

I firmly believe my step dad has 5x more experience than the incumbent (because he does, resumes prove that) and is the best person to hold this position.

He and my mom have been working their butts off for the past few months, and I pray we are successful.

Any thoughts and/or prayers are greatly appreciated.

I'll keep you updated!!

A little dose of Pug does a body good...

Good Morning and Happy Friday to everyone out there in bloggy land. This has been a crazy week but a lot of exciting things have happened.

1. J had her baby, who will be affectionately referred to as Baby C.

2. All my television shows are back on, yeah for couch potatoes everywhere.

3. Work has been a little crazy, a lot of new projects which is good so I can make some more $$$.

4. Back to $$$, I haven't bought anything this week. Well other than my lunch all week, I've been bad. But I wanted to finish my book and I need to be out of the office to do that.

5. I finished the 1st Sookie Stackhouse book - Dead Until Dark. I really liked it and brought the 2nd book with me to work today.

6. I won an award which I have to blog about later today.

Well, I can't let Friday go by without giving you a little puggie love. There's nothing like a pug that loves to party...

Happy Friday, stay warm wherever you all are. It cold in P'cola today, I'm wearing a wool Ralph Lauren sweater, with a long sleeve tee under it, jeans (yeah Friday), knee high black boots, a hot pink pashmina, and my trusty North Face fleece. Yes, I still live in Florida, but it gets cold up here too.

Last but not least, with inauguration just around the corner, I couldn't help but do this. I know we don't all share the same political views, and I make it a point to not discuss them on here, but I had to do this.
