Yeah, I'm really late in doing so, but this week I finally went to my county's Democratic Party office and got my yard signs.

There were already two Bush/Cheney signs on my street, and at least two other families are pretty conservative so I figured I needed to out myself. So I got my Kerry/Edwards sign and some other signs for our local dems running for various offices and proudly stuck 'em right in my front yard.

So I come home from work yesterday, and I notice our neighbors across the street, an older couple I had pegged as conservative, also had Kerry/Edwards signs in their yard! Yay! So there are three total K/E signs and two B/C signs on our street...we're winning so far lol.

I'm looking forward to Friday night's debate. I'm a bit nervous because Bush knows he's got to put in a stellar performance, but Kerry is the better debater so I've got high hopes he can pull another "win" out. Again, I'm a bit nervous but still looking forward to it.

Less than a month to go until this is all over with. I'm not sure if I'm going to glue myself to the TV election night, because much like watching baseball playoffs, so much can happen that I'd rather save my indigestion and just watch the highlights later. Still don't know if the Yankees pulled it out last night...go Twins! Edited to add, yeah the Yanks took it in the 12th. Damn! I don't really care all THAT much about baseball when the Indians tanked early on, but I agree with dh that the Yankees are just too rich and need to be taken down a notch.

In an unrelated turn of events, I've lost 10 lbs! I'm not doing anything nutty, no crazy diets or anything, but it's starting to come off again. Granted I have about 60 lbs to go, but doesn't the journey of 1,000 miles begin with one step? So coming from my all time high on January 1 of 2003, I'm down a grand total of 28 lbs. Sure, it's been almost two years and there have been some yo-yo'ing in there, but I like a net loss in lieu of a net gain so it's all good.
