and I worked the polls today for a lovely 5 hour stretch (first time in a long time I’ve worked an election!)  I was working on behalf of our PC candidate, Mr Kerry Morash who we were hoping was going to make a comeback after a 3 year *break* – unfortunately, the people of Queen’s County, heck the majority of Nova Scotia really according to the poll results decided otherwise…electing NDP again for Queen’s (UGH) and for the first time in a very long time NDP took Nova Scotia overall – a surprising result for many I think.  Now I’m somewhat torn about it all to be honest!  I very much wanted Kerry Morash to get back in with the PC’s for Queen’s County…BUT…and here’s a huge but…I really did NOT want the PC leader Rodney MacDonald back again leading the Province. No, I think we need to sit back and give Darrell Dexter and the NDP party a chance…heck he *IS* from Queen’s County!  I’m not really liking that the Queen’s NDP Mrs Conrad is back tho….sorry!  LOL ahhhh politics eh???

Oh well – I spent 5 hours at the polling station today, finally able to leave when the polls closed at 7pm…thank goodness, because Alyssa had an O2 class thing at the school that started at 6:30pm! I  missed most of the presentations darn it, but she was happy I made it to the last part, and the reception at the end

and I must say, if my candidate didn’t win the election today, at least my hockey team did! Go Penguins!!!  They pulled a nice win out of their butts tonight, stretching this into a 7 game series…now they just have to beat Detroit Friday night (guess I’ll be late heading out anywhere that night lol) *fingers crossed*

and just because I always seem to end up talking about my real estate adventures…I think I can pretty  much say that unless the PERFECT house were to pop up for sale soon – perfect as in – location, size, not needing any work etc – then I *AM* going with the mini home/land thing.  In fact I was talking earlier with my real estate agent asking about what’s available for land in my price range, asking him about certain ones I’ve seen online for sale etc…and I’ve got his thinking cap on now! rofl! I’m sure he’ll come up with something soon I hope….I really want to be settled somewhere before Winter…and it takes 12 weeks approx. for the minihome to be built and delivered….so I’m looking at the end of September or October at this rate – sucks because I’ve promised the girls a pool once we move and get settled…it will be too cold to swim LOL

and in case you’re wondering…..THIS is what the new place is going to look like – nice huh??

night all – it’s midnight and I just remembered I stripped my bed and the sheets are still in the dryer…oops! lol Guess I better go make my bed! And take the dogs out to pee.  And maybe eat something since my stomach is growling non stop.  Hmmm….clean kitchen might be nice too….lol I’m never done!
