| blog you, you blogging blog! |
i was very irritated this evening, b/c i went to check some favorite blogs, and they would not load. then i thought i would check and see if it was blogger in general, and blogger would not load. i was angry. i was already stressed trying to meet a deadline, and all i wanted was a brief respite in blogland. but nooooo-oooooo, blogger had to be dumb.
i just finished the project i was working on for My Judge. It was a fun project, I just wish I wasn't such procrastinator --- born and bred. Then I could have enjoyed it more. Instead, I was scrambling to get it done -- even while sitting here in the living room with kids on either side of me telling me of their day. I don't usually do that. But I needed to get it in today!!
Not only was it "due" today - but tomorrow, we leave for New York City [said in the manner of that chili commercial].
work was good today - i went BACK to the State House for a press conference. there is an organization protesting the methods of the organization that collected signatures in support of a ballot initiative to put an amendment in the MA constitution which spews hate at non-heterosexuals. the signature-collectors were evil in their methods (i.e., showing people pictures of abused greyhound puppies, and asking them to sign a petition to help .... for those same people to months later check a website and find out that their name showed up on the list of those who signed the anti-gay marriage petition. The press conference was held in order to ask the Attorney General and Secretary of State to launch an investigation.
The group that i was supporting knows that no matter what -- there are enough signatures. enough legally obtained signatures. they don't think they can reverse that process. they just want to ensure that protections are put into place within the system so this kind of fraud and manipulation can't happen again. There was a senator there speaking in support of the investigation who seemed to be saying he supports such an amendment - but wants to come by it honestly, and not have it tainted by fraud and bad behavior.
I am not bringing the computer to NYC. So I won't get to post or read my blogs this weekend. Considering I'll be off at a swanky hotel with my beloved celebrating the start of our 5th year together, I'll more than survive. I'm sure you will, too ;) |
