The whole family went out to vote today, and Sydney got to vote with me. I am covering up her ear so the sound of the camera won't wake her up. I won't say who I voted for but my husband and I voted for different parties, which always amuses me.

I only knew to vote today because carrieoke voted. Color me stupid but with all the talk on TV about "delegates" I thought it was some sub-set of pre-registered representatives who got to vote (aka the "delegates") so I didn't realize I could vote. I've never voted for "preference" before as the voting website called it. I wonder how many other people out there don't realize they can vote either. I risk being made fun of but honestly it's not like on tv anyone said "get out and vote" at least not at the times I watched. I wish the news out here was more like the UK, they often show people out doing things and commenting, it's like 50% of the news out there when I visited. Here in the state it's some dude in a suite telling you what is going on with a pan shot of a building or maybe some people doing something, but I would like to hear from the PEOPLE more. So thank you Carrieoke as because of you I voted and so did my husband. It also didn't hurt that a new voting location has opened and I could literally walk to it if I wanted too.

Did I mention it's 70 degrees today? I figured out my word press problem was my using safari, which makes me want to go smack the word press developers in the head with a tire iron. I also had more then one offer to go searching for those hair elastics in Australia, the blog world is a wonderful thing and I feel so lucky to be a part of it. It's a community of wonderful people. I wish you all lived near by and we could all go out for coffee or tea, and knit together.

As for knitting I am working on the back to the Minamalist Cardi. I want to finish it before spring comes so I can wear it, with it's 2/4th sleeves it will be perfect for when its a nice but chilly spring day. I was very nervous of running out of yarn so I ordered a little bit more form Art Fibers while they still had that color lot, and I might have to make some fingerless gloves from it or even a scarf if there is enough left over all together. I've picked up the Pi Shawl a few times but I really want to focus on the cardi. Oh and my cat actually started to eat some of the icelandic yarn. I had to scream at her and then go hide it away so she couldn't find it. Bad kitty!
