I am really trying to be less political!

I even changed my facebook profile pic from a ballot to me. So now that I'm in the spirit trying to be less political...some random thoughts

1. Why is it that when you want to change lanes on the highway if you do the right thing and signal MOFOs speed up and make it impossible for you to cross. However, when you start cutting over without notice, they slow down to make sure you can get it?

2. I'm going to Junkman's Daughter afterwork with my newly adopted work boo. This is the one that has a killer body (5'6, size 4/6, good proportions) but dresses more conservatively than Laura Bush. When we were in Spain I coaxed her into purchasing some styles that were conservative, yet a bit edgy. Tonight our task is to find her a sexy, not slutty, Halloween Costume. I'm looking forward to it!

3. If there was a presidential race for my heart, the ex is like the incumbant who has effed up in the past, but I know his credentials and I know he means well. Miracle man - I dont' trust him...I can't pinpoint it, but woman's intuition is not something that should be pinpointed.

4. How do middle school kids say, "that's cool." In speaking to my Little, I stumble around how to ask her what's hip or happening these days.

5. Both my mother and brother have voted.

6. I decreased my 401(k) contribution from 5% to 3% (the Company match percentage). I shifted my allocations toward more bonds. Equity is not the hotness right now. In addition, I transferred half of my Bank of America savings over to an ING account. I initially opened an ING account at the beginning of September with only $500. In one month I earned $1.11 in interest. Go check your Wachovia or BOA savings account and compare to that. Let's just say that several thousands barely accrued that much interest in my BOA savings account over one month. Plus, ING is easily linked to my BOA account, so it remains relatively liquid.

7. Loneliness and sadness came to visit me this past weekend. I thought I got rid of those bastards, but they came to hang out with me for a bit.

8. I admit, I am officially addicted to coffee. I must have it on the weekends now. I actually enjoy going to Starbucks, sitting down reading something while I sip my coffee. I like it grande, house blend, squirts of vanilla, enough milk in it to turn it my skin color. I put one pack of sugar in the raw in it and shake a bit of Dulce (or Cinnamon if not at a Starbucks). It's like a little piece of heaven.

9. On average, how many glasses of wine do you have a week? Do you drink wine alone? What is your favorite type? Me: Since I got back from overseas, I keep a bottle of red wine in the house all the time. I prefer reds over whites, and less fruity flavors. I'm not loyal to a particular brand or even type, but I do like them medium to full bodied, dry, oaky and spicey. Pinot Noirs tend to achieve this mix. I drink a glass if not every night, then every other night. I hope this is not alcoholic, and if it is somebody take me to a AAA meeting. My name is SunFresh and I like a glass of wine.

10. What type of phone do you have? I love my blackberry. When I lost mine in Spain, I replaced it within 2 hours of being back in the states. Now I have the marroon blackberry curve. Oh yeah - if you know I had your info at one point and I don't have it now...send me a text with your name so I can save you. (For those of ya that didn't do so already via facebook).

11. For those of you on facebook, and be honest and truthful, do I need to calm the f*ck down with status updates and/or posts related to the election? It's fun to do commentary via status updates during a debate, but those are over. At times I am amazed at the information that people don't know. Like Cindy McCain's tax return of $954,112. Then yesterday, somebody told me that they didn't realize that the information that Congress relied upon to back Bush in the war was inaccurate and incomplete. Congress released a report on this, I know b/c I'm passionate about it and I think others should be educated too. Oh yeah - google PBS and Bush's War..there is a documentary. It's pretty tough to watch.

12. Ya know my Obama fundraising goal of $500. I'm 65% there. My uncle gave me a sizable donation. I know we're just about exhausted with donating, but heck...help a fellow blogger help America.

13. Well, I was kind of less political.

14. I should start working out. I haven't been to the gym in like 3 months. My muscles are tighter. I haven't gained...well maybe 2-3 pounds, but after my quasi Q1/Q2 depression, I could stand to gain a few pounds. I was getting kinda boney.
