I have freakin’ hives. Again. I itch all over, although the spots themselves are better than they were last time and I don’t have as many. Claritin has helped some, but not enough.
Last time the hives were followed by me being sick as a dog for over a week. I really, really, really hope that is not the case this time.
Grrr… freakin’ hives.

Mike & I are in the midst of a profound debate right now. We need your help. Please leave a comment and let us know what you think…
Are Fred & Barney from “The Flintstones” more like Lucy & Ethel from “I Love Lucy” or like Ralph and Ed from “The Honeymooners”?
Backstory to follow – I don’t want to influence your opinions.
I went to lunch today with a local Mom’s group, and I was talking with a friend of mine that hates Bush as much as I do. We normally try to watch who we confess this to, because you just never know how passionate people are going to be with their Bush love here in Texas. So I quietly said, “I didn’t watch the debates last night because I was afraid I might gouge my eyes out with a spork. Because … well, you know.” She knew, and admitted she didn’t watch for the same reason. The other woman asked me what I was talking about. Great. This is my first time around this group, and I’m about to confess my Bush sentiments. Big deep breath. I quickly and quietly say that I just don’t like Bush, and I haven’t since he ran for Governor. (If you want more of a scoop on why I feel this way, search the archives. It’s all in there.)
She asked me if I was going to really study the candidates and learn what they are about. I mean, would I really vote for Kerry if he wasn’t “for” the things I believe in?
That’s when I had to face the truth. Yes, yes I would. I would give Kerry my vote, no matter what. I dislike Bush so much, I could never vote for him. I lean Republican on some issues, but he will never ever get a vote from me.
But I don’t live in a “swing state” – we haven’t even really had presidental ads on TV here in Texas, it’s just a given that Bush will win here. I will laugh though if Kerry won out of the blue here. Wouldn’t that be a riot?
She was right though – you should educate yourself before you vote. Most of my education seems to come from
Mac and Chuck (who covers a lot of local election issues, more important to me because my vote in the presidential election probably won’t matter much.) There are a lot of other resources out there, so I want to encourage you to learn all you can about the candidates and then GO VOTE. Don’t think your vote is trivial and meaningless; if everyone voted, many elections would go a different way. Do your part. Do your civic duty. VOTE.
