Voting Girl: My Election Experience

Most of you know, I was a very busy girl yesterday. I thought it might be fun for you to see highlights of my day. My morning started off by voting! Initially I was jumping up and down when I didn't see a line of people. I should've known it was too good to be true. My smile turned upside down when I found out the place where I vote (school) changed it's layout and voting was actually taking place on the opposite side of the building. So when we walked to the opposite side of the building, there was a HUGE line outside and inside. We ended up waiting a hour and a half to vote. They didn't even have any "I Voted!" stickers! :( Despite the grey skies, it didn't rain. So I was thankful for that. But ohhhh my mootsie tootsies! HaHaHa Well, Jessica Simpson bow flats! HaHaHa Just kidding! They were comfortable.

Then my mom decided to change out her SUV for a newer model. So we went to Lakeside Toyota and that took several hours. I've been holding on to my SUV and now I know WHY! Gosh, all the paperwork you have to sign is CRAZY! She purchased a 2013 Toyota Highlander and really likes it. So that's all that matters.

After all of that, I was super duper hungry! So we ended up going to a nearby restaurant called Deanies in Bucktown! It's not fancy, but they have REALLY good seafood. I had their seafood gumbo, ice cream pina colada, and their mate combo plate (shrimp and fish). I guess I was more tired then hungry, because I ended up bringing nearly all of it home! HaHaHa We had two other things on our to-do-list, but were too pooped to continue.

So that was my day everybody! If you live in the United States, how was your voting experience? If you live outside the United States, what's the voting process for your country? I would LOVE for you to share! I often wonder what others go through. We had lots of things to vote for, but I've never had to wait to vote for a hour and half. :S LOL!
