That map looks so awesome, partly because you drew it so well, of course, but also because of all of that blue! I love it. I’m unofficially calling North Carolina for Obama, too.
Yeah, NC’s gotta be blue. I think I’m out of blue chalk, though. He really swept that thing — at least electoral-college-wise. I mean, that shit is BLUE.
I’m feeling post-election confusion, though. What do I read on the web? Yesterday, I was reduced to watching Welcome Back, Kotter episodes.
Ahhhhhhhhhhh!!!! Love it. And yes, NC is totally blue.
I have a whole weekend of nothing ahead of me and it will be so weird to watch movies and clean my house and cook and stuff. Stuff I haven’t done in months!
I saved the abridged Audible version of Barak reading “dreams from my father” for this…although I will admit yesterday, while sick, to watching the Daily Show live coverage again…
I need a dining room table because I’m hosting Thanksgiving and my table is just too small. So, instead of working full-steam ahead on my brief, I’ve been working half-steam and searching all day for a table. My favorite one for under $1k was found at CB2, but it was still $800. Too rich for my poor blood. So, I was resigning myself to the idea of buying a picnic table and painting it. At least it would come with seating. But now I just went for it: I bought a table on clearance from the Pottery Barn. It was only $299 (though they nailed me with the shipping) and it comes with this odd built-in ice bucket-y trough-type thing. I hope it works. Thoughts?
Dining furniture is crazy expensive, no? As it happens, we just invested in dining furniture 2 weeks ago after shopping everywhere, not liking anything (no square tables, no counter height, thank you), and being appalled at prices. Finally got 7 pieces for under $700 at Home Concepts of all places. I am glad that is over.
Oh, wow. That is a good deal. I know — I was talking to my mom yesrerday and she started saying something like, “Well, you know that round oak table that I…” and I had to cut her off. No round, no oak. Thanks!
The trough is weird and so that peeps still want to come over from time to time, I should probably stop calling it that. PB calls it a built-in centerpiece ice bucket. It’s long, though. But it can be covererd up, as well. We’ll see. Could make a fun and functional New Years party item: easily accesible and chilled champagne.
Ok, I’m sad about the lack of comments, but I realize a map doesn’t provide a lot of fodder for discussion. I’m off to a conference in Elkhart Lake for the rest of the week. Maybe it’ll give me some good material. Take care, all.
I always LOVE reading the blog but feel I have little to say. (you guys are so clever) I saw the map in person and it was awesome. And all that blue!
Is everyone really sick of the post-election interviews with Palin. Yuk. Enough.

I think Kayt’s avatar is the weirdest one yet.

Kids, this blog is eerily quiet as of late.
Congrats on your bargain! Trough?
