Exploding Heads

Lately I have felt like my head is going to explode. With all the news about the meltdown of the economy, the wars, the presidential election, and everything else going on, it has been hard for me to relax. I read an article that 80% of Americans are "stressed out" right now. I think I have to believe it! I have had to stop watching news before bed because I was having some less than relaxing dreams at night. I had a stress out weekend where I ate comfort food and watched sad movies so I could cry and just wrapped up in a blanket. I think it is a good thing that we are headed out of town, and even though there will be a TV in our cabin, I think we will have to impose a ban on watching the news.

Even watching the presidential debate - which was so much fun the first time - just made me mad. I was tired of hearing the same things over and over. And - sorry to anyone who likes him - but I also decided that I HATE John McCain. It got to the point where each time he would speak during the election I would just yell "Shut up!" at the TV (very mature, I know). So if the Republicans win this time around, I may be headed to Canada. (No, this doesn't mean I support Obama, I think he is a little slimy too, but out of the two, he causes me to throw less things at the TV.)

We downloaded the voter information pamphlet to see what other exciting candidates we had the opportunity to vote for, and I realized the system is seriously messed up when I saw SuperDell is officially running for Governor. Yep, the system is messed up, and I will believe it is totally broken if he wins! I hope there are not enough people out there that think it is funny to vote for him that he wins.

That was enough Doom and Gloom for today. I need a vacation!
