Ok, so I’m in kind of a quirky mood…potentially to curb some of the nerves these election results are bringing tonight?
Ugh.
Definitely a nail biter.
Anyway, so I was driving home from my hair appointment tonight, eating a dum-dum. (Thank you to my favorite hair stylist for letting me be a kid and take one. Or two. ;))
Then I suddenly had a really freaky thought. Something like, Man, it would be a bad time to get in an accident and have my airbag deploy. I’d choke on my dum-dum, and that would be the end.
Ok, ok, I admit that my brain can get extremely imaginative at times. 
But it was enough for me to crunch the rest of my sucker in about half a second and get that stick out of my mouth. No more driving with dum-dums for me!
Now that you know for certain that I’m really quirky…
Tonight is that one night every four years that is such a strange paradox. I detest the way the news stations report election results and yet I’m glued to the tv…and feeling insanely sick to my stomach but eating some form of chocolate anyway.
But I promised not to talk politics, didn’t I?
So Mae and I spent the day at home today, and it was a long one. Darn time change…seriously, her eyes pop open with the sun…hellooo early mornings. For now, anyway. Thankfully I had a moment of genius when I remembered the “gift” my mom gave her several months ago. “Gift”=100+ piece plastic food set for her kitchen.
Gift for Maelie. I-will-injure-myself-by-stepping-on-all-these-tiny-pieces, non-gift for Mel.
I hid it in the garage…until today.
I can’t believe how many hours that kept her occupied.
She loved having new toys so much that I didn’t mind having to pick up that 100+ piece set a dozen times in an afternoon.
It was fun watching her “cook” all kinds of different food for me. She had fun, and for a moment, I felt guilty about not giving it to her for…ahem…about six months. Well, I felt guilty until I stepped on one of the plastic pieces and reminded myself exactly why I’d hidden the thing.
Oh, well. She’s not likely to forget about it anytime soon, so I’ll have to be extra careful about where I walk.
Well, it’s getting late…and I’m seriously thinking about turning off election results and watching a chick flick.
Sounds way more fun.
G’nite, friends.
