Patriotism, Politics, and Pajamas

I cast my vote in the 2008 Election yesterday. Nothing unusual there. BUT, how many of you wore your pajamas to vote? I really didn't intend to either, but I went to pay my water bill and as it was next door to the polling and today was the last day for early voting, I figured, "why not?"

I actually was wearing a new pajama/loungewear thing that I'd purchased earlier in the day. It was fine for driving to drop something off (which didn't require getting out of the car), but not so sure about getting out to go IN someplace. But, it was too convenient and I did not want to miss exercising my constitutional right to vote, so I went for it. I even had on a cute little coordinating hat as I had already tossed the wig for the day! Fortunately, I didn't see anyone that I knew!!!!

This reminded me of this previous 4th of July which I spent in Little Rock with Nancy and Jill. We'd returned home from shopping and I had already put on my comfy clothes when Nancy insisted that we HAD to see fireworks SOMEWHERE! So, Jill assured me that I wouldn't have to get out, she'd just drive us to where we could see them............So, off we went, AGAIN, I was in my pajamas..........and WHERE did Jill take us? Being the Governor's Staffer that she is, she knew that the Gov was out of town, so she drove us straight to the Arkansas Capitol......straight to the Gov's parking spot and there we watched the fireworks! Me in my pajamas in the Governor's parking spot, watching fireworks! At least I had hair then, so there was no funky little hat!

Let's see, Veteran's Day is coming up.......I do have another new set of lounge wear........so watch for me on the 11th.........in my pajamas!!!

Today is Saturday and I feel pretty good!!!! Hoping to have smooth sailing all week!!

Enjoy the day!
