Not Even Half Price Margaritas Can Keep Me From the Polls!

I went to dinner with a friend from my old job tonight. We went to a Mexican restaurant with a special on half-price margaritas.

I was going to order the regular (large) sized margarita glass, but she INSISTED that I get a mug. The mugs are 34 oz.

One margarita and dinner later, it was time to get out of there. I went to Target to "walk it off" for almost an hour. Of course I found $60 worth of stuff to buy in an hour too!

As I was leaving the checkout I remembered that I had to vote today. Of course it was about 8 minutes to 8:00 (poll closing time). I put the petal to the metal and got to my old elementary school and RAN (in my wooden clogs) to the door and said, "Am I too late?"

And I was NOT too late! They locked the door behind me (I was the LAST one to vote today).

I told them about the margaritas and they said I should try to get there 5 minutes earlier next time. =)

Not even the half-priced margaritas can keep me from my involvement in the political process (only one of the three Supreme Court Judges is pro-choice, I had to cast my vote for her!).
