Ahhhh, I got through the day. I now have my slate of candidates for the municipal election next month.
But this time it's a little different than other times. My other 4 previous elections I have had 18 to 23 candidates for council. The past 2 weeks were quiet. Frankly, it scared me. That feeling stuck with me all day. I feared there would be a number of surprises arriving at the last minute. I'm not a huge fan of surprises ;)
At the deadline I had 2 candidates for Mayor, and 9 candidates competing for 6 council seats. Nine......I can control nine!!
I'm not sure why there has been such a significant drop in numbers, but personally I'm not complaining. I came home, drowned a few olives in Grey Goose and began to hook the border on my rug.
Maybe less really is more?

KIm, I like the concept of less is more , more and more every day...
ReplyDeleteI'm not a fan of surprises either. Two candidates for mayor is manageable.Good luck with e elections next week.
You are hooking in style.
Have a great sleep. Hugs, JB
You are so funny, so was dinner the olives? I am glad that you don't have as many candidates as you have in the past. At least it will be over soon and not 4***years. :) I am sick of elections.
ReplyDeleteHave a great Wednesday!
I am so thoroughly sick of the negative ads and telephone calls this election period. I will be glad when it is over.
ReplyDeleteHi Kim, less is more???? Glad no election here, so tired of them. Blessings Francine.
ReplyDeleteHi Kim, I will be so glad when the election is over with. There is so much false information out there and my answering machine gets full of ads. I know it will only get worse when it gets close to time. I hope you post a picture of your rug when you get it done. Have a great day. Your Missouri Friend.
ReplyDeleteI think what it says is that people are finally realizing that being in politics is no fun! Who in their right mind would want to run for office today? I love your evening solution ~ if all else fails ~ have a cocktail!

ReplyDeleteThose poor olives! You are so cruel to drown them. ;) So glad it was easier than you thought.
ReplyDeleteI'll take hooking with a splash of Grey Goose any day!
ReplyDeleteEnjoy!

Ah the noble olive! Ready and willing to give its little green life for us, drowned amid the sanity-sustaining goose whenever called upon, whenever such sacrifice is required..... To add insult to injury some of us even continue the practice of spearing them with those little plastic sabres - just for looks (hanging my head in shame).
ReplyDeleteGlad I'm not an olive
Tho life would be simpler at times if I were, lol
Lucky olives.
