sigh.

I am so depressed, so very very depressed. Stunned and disappointed and sad and very angry.

But there is a silver lining, and I&#146ll cling to it desperately tonight, nursing my battered heart and shattered hopes. Hillary Clinton in 2008. And that is a beautiful lining.

V-Day

Well, it&#146s finally here. Election day. I can&#146t believe it. What with the baby and the Red Sox and the NHL lockout, November 2nd just sort of sprang up on me.

I know a ton of people who voted early and I had intentions to also vote early, but I ran out of time and it&#146s just as well. Voting on anything but November 2nd doesn&#146t feel right. My family mailed in their ballots, which I suppose is convenient, but I personally LOVE going to vote, getting into those sexy little booths and making my choices. It feels so good, so American, so empowering. I remember the first time I voted and how truly free I felt. I made my little voice heard, at least in that booth.

I know every single loafe reader will be voting, as least those who can. Those of you who are able to vote and do not, I hate you and I don&#146t respect you and you should be ashamed (especially if you are young and/or female). The notion of &#147my vote won&#146t matter&#148 is a slippery slope and we must tread carefully. Bad governments rely on people to stay at home and not vote, so don&#146t let that happen!

The moment of reckoning has arrived. In the words of a great man, it&#146s going to be a glorious day. I feel our luck could change.

I have high hopes. If the Red Sox can win, so can my man Kerry.

Also, it may be true that I&#146m in love with Jude Law. We covet what we see, right? And he&#146s everywhere these days. Which is fine by me, because that man is muy caliente.

Pea in the Pod.

That was Ryland&#146s first Halloween costume. A pea in the pod. He looked very cute, OF COURSE. We didn&#146t go trick or treating or anything, because he&#146s way too young, but it was fun to dress him up and stuff.

In a week and a half, we&#146re off to Boston!

Home of the world champion Red Sox. Believe it or not.
