Swing Statehood

Sweater: Macy's, Chambray: PacSun, Pants: Tommy Hilfiger

I walked to my local voting locale yesterday morning and I must say, I much enjoyed that early morning stroll. I got all bundled up in my winter coat and scarf, threw on a headband and headed off into the brisk morning air to cast my vote. It was my first time going to the actual polls. The last time I voted was also my first time, and I had an absentee ballot that allowed me to complete it while sitting on my couch. 

This time was different and I must say that I was not sure what to expect, only thinking I would be waiting for a while based on what the pros had told me. But low and behold, it was a total breeze and actually a bit of fun! I cruised right in and though I did not realize there was an additional step after I filled out my paper ballot and looked like a rookie, it all ended smoothly. And I have lived in the lovely swing state of Ohio my whole life so it makes it that much more exciting to see the outcome. And to be rid of all those swing state political ads, well, that in itself is enough to celebrate. So bring on the regular TV commercials media giants! I have been waiting.
