I've said, "Good Morning," to Friday with some big news {well,
relatively big news to some} - Husband
begged on his hands and knees asked me to attend a political rally with him on Monday night in Youngstown, Ohio. A Republican rally, mind you. He cited the fact that these are truly historical events, and that he's never gotten to attend a rally before. Insert sad puppy-dog face. Of course, he prefaced all of this with, "I know you'll probably say no, but I wanted to ask anyway." What's a good wife supposed to say to that?
I conceded.
{Only after he promised to buy me dinner first.}
With that being said, I have a lot to think about this weekend prior to the rally.
1. What am I going to wear? If I show up wearing my team's colors {BLUE}, I'll surely be mobbed. Maybe compromise with a purple cardigan?
2. Where should we eat dinner? This is certainly the most important question to cogitate.
If you can't read between the lines, I'll shout it out to you - Our house is a divided house on many issues, which directly relates to the political candidates we choose. Case in point: our views on health care delivery in this country. Paul Ryan's ticket will not be getting my vote, but I do want to hear what he has to say.
I jokingly said to Husband that if I were pulled out of the crowd to ask Mr. Ryan a question, I'd just remark at how happy I was that my husband let me out of the house and
I didn't have to rush home to cook dinner for my family. Burn.
In all honesty, I do want to attend the rally to hear from this Vice Presidential candidate. It's especially exciting because we're attending a rally in a true swing state, Ohio. I've only been to one other rally {in Durant, Oklahoma}, for VP hopeful John Edwards, during my senior year of high school. I'm not going to lie - I was dazzled as an eighteen-year-old girl by his attractive smile and the prospect of shaking his hand. His speech inspired, and I was ready to go cast my vote.
Too bad that backfired, and maybe this is karma. I won't say that Paul Ryan's speech will instill the same feelings {even though he reportedly has spent many hours with Tony Horton}, but I think it'll be interesting to sidle my views up to his answers for comparison.
If anything, I hope this post makes you
laugh go cast your vote. This election will be close, so every vote {Republican or Democratic} counts!
