I know we are all tense - how are you dealing?
Edited on Tue Feb-05-08 07:21 PM by FLDem5
beer, wine, tequila, scotch? Anything illegal?

warm baths, cleaning furiously?

Let's have a lighthearted thread, just for fun

36. Good lord--will you sleep tonight?
If I ate espresso chocolate right now, I'd be up all night.

Unfortunately I have to be at work at 630 am tomorrow morning and it's starting to snow, which means getting up even earlier, so I won't be able to stay up late and watch the results come in. So it's a beer (or two) for me, and then to bed.

I love being an adult . . . . :sarcasm:

16. I'm so high right now I could swallow my fucking face
I planned to spend the day cleaning so I took this legal supplement called Ageless. I've tried speed before and I don't remember it being this strong. The only ingredient other than green tea extract and a lot of vitamins is a "mood enhancer" called Serenex made from corn. And I'm thinking, you can make rocket fuel from corn...

There is no way something that feels this good could be good for you. I will have to drink more than a beer or two if I plan to sleep tonight!

17. beer coming.
I am feeling great!
I am excited and looking forward.

Even if Obama doesn't blow out Clinton like I think he should - he put up such a campaign, did such a marvelous uptrend in the last few weeks. it's all good.

the open caucas states is what I'm really looking forward to.

"cnn: he was expected to win in Georgie (Obama) but those numbers are HUGE""
''those are amazing numbers:.......

52. twice today - I went outside and sat on the porch swing
letting the sun hit my face for 15 minutes.

It is wonderful.

I call it 'making vitamin D' so I don't feel lazy.
