Last night I asked my husband if I could please just get and stay drunk until the 9th. He said no. Something about our 8 year old homeschooler not being old enough to take care of herself yet, or something. I think he’s just being a spoilsport.

Damn, these hell house things have always deeply bothered me. But at a freakin’ elementary school? That’s a special kind of messed up, right there.

Fuck you, Texas.

This woman is more of a bad ass than I could ever hope to be. Kudos to her!

Like, he should never have run for president, but - unlike the other male on the ticket - I kinda feel bad for him for bombing so bad.

Paraphrasing, but

Does she have her purse on her shoulder? Neither Ivanka or Melania do. She is obviously ready to get OUT of there as soon as she can.

I really hate that this is true.

Second largest county (Dallas), here. I don’t know the percentages, but it was around 58,000 voters the first day of early voting, which is over 25,000 more than in 2012. I’m not usually big into “I was there!” type of stuff, but it feels good to say it in this case.

I don’t usually follow politics, so a bit back I had to look up to see if Cruz was up for reelection. Was very sad to see he wasn’t. Would have almost relished voting against him even more than I did voting for Hillary and against Trump, and I enjoyed that a LOT.

I do sadly think he’ll still win TX (ptooey), but I…

Right?! We just lost our youngest of three (and only girl) dog a couple of months ago. Saying it sucks doesn’t quite cover it. Although I must admit that my sympathy for him is tainted by jealousy - my girl was only nine and it’s not fair he got 13 years with his pup.

I have a too stupid to die dog too. He is absolutely gorgeous, and as dumb as he is pretty.

I need those shoes that little girl is wearing. Not for my own little girl. For me.

This is soul crushing.

Yes. After watching the debates, I have decided my entire life’s goals are to be able to blow shit off like she does, and with that perfect “fuck you” smile to boot.

Yes! I have one leans-D friend who is voting independent, and while that frustrates me, I’ve said nothing online because I have a LOT more who are staunchly R voting independent, and the last thing I want to do is discourage that. I don’t *truly* think Clinton will win TX, but oh, a girl can dream.

I was just out at dinner with a few friends the other evening. The topic of vegetables* came up, as it is wont to do, and two of the aforementioned friends spoke highly of butternut squash. I mentioned that I don’t think I’ve tried it, but would have to. Now, I’m not so sure I can...

*No, I refuse to call it a fruit.…

Promise fulfilled - that WAS worth my time. Having just spent a very ill-advised 10 or so minutes scrolling through increasingly stupid and depressing FB posts of people screaming that votes are being “flipped” from Trump to Clinton here in Texas (Texas - it’s huge and red. Seriously people?!), I very much needed the…

Yes, same here! I mean, I live in a blue county so that’s nice and all, but the sea of red that surrounds me is (usually) impossibly deep and wide. I’m cautiously hopeful for some new neighbors this year...

It’s depressing how red that map on the right is, but the small glimmer of hope it allows is that it is less red than the map on the left is blue.
