Has it really been two months?

I’m sure my regular readers (all, um, eight? of you) have probably been wondering what the hell happened. The short answer is I REALLY didn’t want this to turn into a political blog, and lately politics has been at the top of my mind. So I avoided posting. But now I am officially over it. Yes, I voted. But I’d be lying if I said I was enthusiastic. I hope my candidate wins, and I certainly don’t think his presidency will be a disaster as the opposition insists, but I also don’t think it’s going to be the AWESOMEST. PRESIDENCY. EVER. I’m less excited for my candidate than I am excited AGAINST his opponent. Which is pretty sad. In fact, this is the first time I’ve even mentioned it to anyone other than my husband or my mother. And for what it’s worth, I’m not even that my guy’s going to win. Plenty of state polls are within the margin of error, especially if you throw “undecideds” into the mix. If you don’t think this election could go either way, you’re fooling yourself, as far as I’m concerend. Who knows, maybe I’ll move to Scotland and open a Cuban restaurant regardless of who wins…
