November 4, 2008 I would like to say that I was a first time voter, yes it has been hard to admit but I faced my fear today. I actually felt like I was showing up for an alcoholics anonymous meeting as I walked into the community center with a book in hand. I was fully prepared to read a chapter or two but when I opened the door there were only about FOUR people in the room.
I thought I was definitely in the wrong place and looked like a freshman on the first day of high school...not really but I did feel pretty lost until a helpful volunteer guided me in the correct direction. I was a little surprised when they handed me a folder and pen and I had to fill in the bubble of my choice, at that point I really did feel like I was in high school and I got the sweaty palms but it all passed after I got the first pen mark on my ballot.
I was thinking about wearing my Halloween costume to vote BUT,Joe,you know my plumber had to be at work early this morning and was unable to make it to the polls with me.
(I'm starting to scare myself the more I look at this pictures, the resemblance is almost too much!)
We actually did see Russia from our house on Halloween night, I think it had to do with my Goodwill outfit. All kidding aside...I am very thankful and feel blessed for the freedom that I have in oUr Simply beAutiful country.

LOL! I love your costume and what a great idea. The resemblance is almost uncanny! You are no longer a voter virgin! Ha! It really does feel good to vote. Makes you feel apart of something. BTW, Brad and I ate dinner at CB tonight and I told him about your CB with the dozen biscuits. He thought it was hilarious! (I am trying to comment more so I don't look like a blogstalker :)
