So weird, I feel like every election I have witnessed has gotten crazier and crazier....I remember the Bush election, where everyone thought he lost...and then, somehow...hmm in florida where his brother was governor...he ended up winning? that was a shady election...how the hell did we elect that moron the first time, nevermind for a second term?! Then the next election...somehow Osama made some remark about not electing him again, Im gonna go with that was a made up announcement to help his campaign by some really twisted campaign manager...the Bush friends are so slimy.
So here we are in 2008, and we had a female running for democratic candidate, a black man, an old fart, and a midwestern hick that I swear has hay stuck between her teeth every time. I keep expecting her to wander out in overalls and a plaid hunting jacket. I know she somehow hits a chord with lots of americans...hmm guess that says something about the majority of people that live in this country. Guess the "no child left behind" from the bush administration, forgot the parents behind or something...
Anyway, so back to 2008...I think this is the first time I dont hate either candidate, or love either. I have no strong feelings about either. I think that Obama doesn't have the expirence for where we are in the economy, and the world at the moment, and Mcain is at such an advanced age hes way past obama's green. yes hes very expirenced, but hes so far over the hill that he may croak before he actually gets sworn in. I am completely ignoring both running mates...I mean comon never in my lifetime has the vice pres ever even had much of a say...most americans couldnt name the last 3 vp's. So I will ignore them. Guess the choice is, someone who will learn from his mistakes in the next 4 yrs, or someone who may not make it 4 more years. Coming from somone who usually votes liberal...guess I have to fall back on whatever happens, happens. I live in Maryland, my vote doesnt count...its been decades that MD votes democrat, and i dont mind it.
must agree with hilary tho, if you dont vote, u forfeit your right to bitch and moan!

moving, packing, where to live stress..?
Well let's see, its been quite some time since I last wrote. Emmitt is getting better and better each day. We have taken him to a BIG dog park where he definitely thrives! He found an Italian Greyhound that he Looooves chasing after, finally someone he cant catch and doesnt tire! hehehe. Hes walking very well on the leash now, almost consistantly either walking directly next to me, or slightly behind.
We have fought, and sort of in a way won, against our neighbor below. For 2 years since we moved in every time we walk to the kitchen or to the bathroom, no matter what time of day, if shes home she bangs on the ceiling. We never intended on staying in our condo more than the 2 yr lease we signed, so I feel as though we have won...got the least extended for a few weeks, and she hasn't knocked or even been home in the last month or so!
Drew is currently at his first job interview since after college! Bayer cropscience. He seems very excited and very comfortable. After sending what seemed like millions of resumes to millions of companies, Bayer finally responded! He would be working directly for the head of IT of their north american companies...dude sounds pretty important...got his phd an all... they phone interviewed him like 4 times and really sounded excited about him....but of course...only time will tell.
We have a back up plan of course...Drew stays at his current company with his boss he cant stand...and keeps looking for as long as it takes to get a different job...but OH if it worked out! we'd be sooo happy! We would finally be able to begin our lives! Finally settle down somewhere, rather than live in transition...I mean comon, we live across from a grocery store..I still feel like I am not comfortable in my own abode...can't ever really relax, theres no privacy no quiet, I feel like I have been living in a dorm for the last 10 yrs...Drew and I are both tired of this life here. We are so so so so ready to move on!
