First a moment of silence...

For the governor that once was:

{...................}

and a heartfelt vote of hopefulness that the new guy doesn't further screw everything up! You go, Guv! Good luck!

K. So, I'm kind of honestly thinking that given that a "record" number of peeps were motivated to vote and given the fact that having this particular bozo in as the requisite "republican" will alleviate the need to elect a more "politically oriented/conservative" one at some later date, I don't feel the need to complain all that much. I mean, we DO live in a "democratic" society and if the vast majority of people surrounding me honestly think this guy can do any better than the last one, well then so be it. At least people felt empowered to voice an opinion [however ill-informed and stunning in it's inability to see "the big picture" it may have been], and that's what we all wanted, right? Right?? Eh, hem...

In other news, THANK YOU, Dirty Boy, my sweetest, most wonderful-est boyfriend-for-life (except not really... BUT I would have to say you are extremely well positioned to "get some" pretty much on demand from the Chickster for the rest of your natural life although, given that, it is too bad you've recently become "exclusive" with the ever cute OG. Ah well, such are the vagarities of fate...) You are the best and I am honored and amazed that you saw fit to give me a ticket to see Mr. Lyle Lovett {shriekkkkk!!!!} in concert , in Oakland, at the Paramount!!!! My life is already full of amazingly fabulous things and the fact that you managed to pull this out of your...er...ah... thin air, is nothing short of frosting on top of the frosting of the cake that is my life! Thank you, thank you, thank you!!! I owe you big time (take careful note, good readers, The ever-lovin' Chick Magnet will put out for Lyle Lovett tickets!) Sigh... we heart....
