Voting was Fantastic

We came prepared. I had my camera. I had my iPhone. I had snacks and toys for my daughter. I even brought my video camera to capture some voting footage for BlogHer. I was ready to spend all day at our polling place.

There was nobody in line.

Well, there was one guy in front of me, but that hardly seems like a line.

It took me less than 10 minutes to vote.

I am actually giddy. I thought this would be grueling. I knew I had to vote. I was happy to vote. For the first time since 1992 I was voting for  a candidate instead of against one. It was wonderful.

Yes, I would have been happy to stand in line all day to exercise my privilege to help choose our leaders, but I sure am glad I didn't have to.

As much as I think we have screwed up our foreign policy in the past 7 years I am still proud to be an American.

And I voted.

Sarah also talks about voting on her personal blog Sarah and the Goon Squad.You can find her talking about sports on Draft Day Suit, about weight loss of Loser Moms or about Pop Culture on MamaPop.
