Rallying

I had ambitious plans to make many things this weekend for the shop, but I got sidetracked by politics. My sister and I attended a political rally this beautiful fall afternoon. However, the speaker we came to see arrived so late that we had to leave after waiting for 3 hours in the cold, so it turned out to be really defective. But still fun. My sister was interviewed by a local TV news crew while we were waiting in line, which they will show on election night, and I got signs and buttons. I also signed up to volunteer for my candidate on election eve, putting signs on people's doors for a final get-out-the-vote push. Two more days!

Twilight Tuesday

Mr Hazel and I were watching tonight's presidential debate, but he kicked me out because I kept yelling at the TV and he couldn't hear what the candidates were saying. Since I decided a while back that this will be a strictly non-partisan blog (I don't want to alienate past, present, or future customers) - though I have to admit that remaining non-partisan has its challenges because I am a very loud, very fierce member of one of the political parties - and this election has threatened to give me an aneurysm every five minutes - I'm now going to move to a much more fun topic.

To wit, the newly-released movie poster for the Twilight movie. I think Edward looks smokin' hot here, though my sister-in-law Alissa wasn't so sure about what she called his "cat's eyes." Still. He's smokin'. Alissa also sent me a whole barrage of Edward pictures from various scenes from the movie, where I proceeded to salivate my heart out.
