It this the line to buy the talking Elmo???

Why I vote:

1. Fashion- The sticker " I voted" is very fashionable and I coordinate my clothes to match that sticker.

2. So I can complain

3. Cancel out another vote...we all know someone who is voting opposite of us

4. Long lines-it's my only chance to get caught up on my "reading"....too bad there is not wireless internet service..I could blog...darn!

5. I get such a "rush" of energy...casting my vote! This is one thing we all do that no matter who you are...every vote is equal!

6. I want to celebrate July 4th!

7. I like to stand in line pretending I am waiting to buy a Wii or a talking Elmo.

8. To re-live my college days when I just filled in the circle hoping it was the right answer:)!

7. Okay..Okay...it's my right and responsibility! Hope you will join me in the lines!!!

My kids loved the whole process when I took them with me. While I was in the box, my youngest shouted, "Mom, don't forget to vote for McCain!"

I just voted and it only took 5 minutes. This was the first time voting electronically as well. It was neat!

This is great...love the list! I'll be wearing my sticker all day...I may even pull it out again tomorrow :) I was also hoping on catching up on some (Twilight) reading, but fortunately (or not) I didn't have to wait in line.

Hope you're having a great Tuesday!
