Today I did something I do maybe two or three times a year these days, and what is that you curiously ask?
Why folks, make cookies!
Since our cookie monster sons have been grown and flew the coop the desire to make any baked goods seems over indulgent and sometimes a wee bit silly for two grown ups; especially with this gal being way too much in the additional LBS.!
But I went and did it anyway and it was rather fun, I made from scratch peanut butter cookies and WOW, Hubby took over after I made the batter and finished up with the placement of the one inch rolled in sugar balls that had to be squished with the fork tines in a criss cross pattern on the cookie sheet, wasn’t that nice of him, since by then I was exhausted?
And they were mmmmmm, mmmmmm good too if I do say so myself or Hubby will be happy to tell you!
Moving on…any-who…
Today I thought I would try asking another provocative question on my Facebook page, but this time I am seriously needing some real honest feedback because this election coming up next month has baffled me on who I should vote for, especially for our new state governor, numero uno important, in-charge peep.
All the commercials trying to entice us to vote for him or her, and yes we have a woman running against a man or vice versa, and they are just not cutting it in my opinion since they are more mudslinging than real information on how they hope to make our state better. Personally I am currently disgusted with both of them due to their methods on how they are running their campaigns.
And Geez we sure do need some help in our state, since our unemployment is way up, with one of the highest in the country and home foreclosures are way too many too. Many homes are empty in our own neighborhood due to that.
I am so fed up with each of the two candidates ridiculous demeaning of one another, and proving that the other is more dishonest than them. Well politicians, you know something it finally worked! I don’t trust either one of you now!
And I won’t be voting for either of you unless something miraculous happens between now and Election Day.
And so far it appears the wonderful Facebook peeps also seem to be divided with whom they will be voting for or not unlike me wanting to write that non helpful but honest comment of ‘None of the above!’
You hear about things like this happening in countries where their governments are compromised by drug cartels, or communist parties with dictatorships or in third world places where people who can’t read or aren’t the right sex or color aren’t allowed to have input, but this is the United States of America and I want to use my right to vote, but how did it get to this point with no decent choices?
I am miffed and that is an understatement to the enth degree!
Any worldwide help would be most welcomed.
You know I hate to think that without a civilized alternative what is one good person who wants the best for their adopted home state to do?
Politics have always been a rich person’s game without many surprises.
If it wasn’t for advertising costing so much perhaps we would have more people running in this country or at least now in this state.
Realistically, with true middle class people in the political ring that is when I sincerely think that we would have the leaders that we honestly want and need that would be able to relate to us.
Please powers that be, and now I am asking the earth bound ones not the almighty ones folks, please help change this somehow for the better with some type of sign of good will, perhaps?
Oh well, my pleas for finding out the pulse of my FB Florida friends I will allow to remain up on my profile page for the month I think and I sure would like to see it’s final outcome.
On that note of decision making in some form I will bid you all a very happy good night and to all count those blessings and share those overages and we will too!
And next time be here or be square, OK?
Speaking My Mind is about: Tobi, who is a middle aged, no, oh all right a slightly over the hill woman with all the imperfections that go with that, and this concerns her daily life's perceptions and experiences.
