Yeah - it's Friday. Not a holiday for us.
What a week - it was "car maintenance" week. We used a new mechanic, closer to home - we are now about $1,500 more in debt. The Jeep wasn't too bad - $270 for it's 24,000 mile checkup. The Nissan - a different story - $1,300. New tires, new battery, new hydraulics for the clutch, brake flush, radiator flush, power steering flush - good thing the car is paid for. But still - it's only 4 years old and at 45,000 miles. It's just a baby.... LOL!
A week until my Creative Memories party. Only 5 people so far, but the most important people - Dan's family. They are more into scrapbooking than I am.
Work this week has been crazy - I can't wait to sleep in tomorrow. No big plans this weekend - probably Caps practice on Sunday.
(and their human parents)
This blog started as The adventures of a D.I.N.K. family where the two "kids" are four legged and how we are going to retire early. Now it's a 1 income, 1 entrepreneur, and 1 pup getting closer and closer to retirement.

My boss will NOT let it go that I do not vote. She's pissing me off. It's my right and her hounding me about it WILL NOT make me go vote. It will probably prevent me from EVER voting.
She even said "As your boss, I'm telling you, you should vote (she said this to both me and Sandy) and then to me - "Especially you since your husband works for the government."
I don't complain about the government. I don't trust politicians. They say what they want and bash the person they are running against. I hate the telemarketing calls that are recorded and just call the numbers in the phone book - otherwise, they would see that the number I'm at IS NOT a registered voter.
I believe that each person will do what they want to do. To each their own. I don't believe in declawing cats and don't do it to my cats, but don't bash the people who do it (including my boss). I do feel sorry for the cats who don't have a choice. I don't believe in abortion, but don't hate people who have had one. If it doesn't hurt you, why should it matter to you. You don't know what the person has gone through to make the decisions they have made.

0 Pageviews Is it wrong that I don't vote?
Every year the boss says to me - you should vote - it's your right as an American. Isn't it my right NOT to vote also?
I also don't complain about politics. Meaning - I don't choose the person who's making the decisions, I shouldn't complain about the decisions being made.
Why don't I vote - it's all political and the people who are running say what they think you want to hear - or bash the person they are running against. It's a popularity contest. I have my own problems to worry.
I don't mind the growth in Loudoun County - why do you think I chose to live there? Our house has almost doubled in value in 4 years. I made $75,000 on my townhouse 4 years ago. So what if it leads to more traffic - that's what happens with growth. If you don't like it, leave. Same with the overall government - if you don't like it, leave the country. Because of the government, my husband has a job with VERY good benefits.
Maybe if I wasn't happy with the government, I would vote - or believe my vote really counts and makes a difference.
OK - off my soapbox. Just needed to get it off my chest - I just hate it when the boss tries to influence your personal life.
