Recall Failure

I'm pretty sure taking a temp shouldn't be this cute

Sliding, not doing it quite right!

Today will become an important day in history.  My lovely state attempted to recall the governor and it failed.  I'm not happy about this.  I'm curious to know what kind of precedent this will set and what affects it will have on the presidential election.  I'm currently not in love with the president nor his opponent.  As I discussed with my Kati, what happened to people representing the people.  When did politician become a career to be groomed for.  I know it's far fetched but I can see how a world like that in the Hunger Games comes about.

Tonight I spent 2 hours on the phone with a friend who lives about 15 miles away ;)  Kati and I have been friends since fate made us roommates our freshman year at college.  We've had our ups and downs but ultimately we've stuck together through it all.  We had a very nice conversation and covered a little bit of everything.  The point of the call was to set up lunch, and of course we did but not until the last 2 minutes.  Procrastinators unite! (tomorrow)

Part of our call was about getting older and where we are vs where we thought we would or wouldn't be.  Both she and the BFF are almost a full year younger than me.  They are just approaching 34 and 35 is creeping up on me way too quickly.  I know age is all a mental game, but I'm really struggling this year and I have 6 months to go.  I think my mid life crisis is hitting now.  There are so many things I thought I would have by now, or at least experienced once by now.  I've chosen so many other good and bad things that it's hard to weight them all evenly.  I do know that right now I want love in my life. And I mean romantic love, not the love of friends and family.  I have that in great abundance and now I need to be fulfilled in a different way.  But part of achieving that is going to involve me making great changes.  Changes I'm not comfortable with and not ready to make or tackle head on.  I'm working on them but it's not coming as easily as I thought.  Maybe this another part of the age situation.  I'm set in my ways, some would even call it stubborn.
