Holidays and Politics

Seriously, if you could see me right now, you'd think I had aged about 15 years since the last time I blogged (which was like, two months ago, I know.)

So work is far busier than I ever would have anticipated but that is easily explained if you understand the political climate in Iowa. We host the first-in-the-nation electoral event which apparently gives insight into which candidate might end up on the ballot come November. All this action means that reporters from Davenport to Council Bluffs (and everywhere in between) are busy tracking the candidates as they visit every Pizza Ranch and coffee shop in Iowa. In a word, it's exhausting.

With the caucus on Jan. 3, I can safely say we're in the home stretch. At least I think we are. This means that if you haven't seen me since July, you might again sometime mid-January. Yeah!

In the midst of all of this, we celebrated our 7th wedding anniversary (Happy day, honey!), Thanksgiving and three Christmas celebrations. Thank God Christmas is over - it was a multi-tasking nightmare. Between getting everything decorated, shopping, wrapping and figuring out where we were supposed to be and when, well, not sure how I made it through. But I did. I'm blogging now to prove it.

That's that. Other than what you read above, I've got nothin' else to write about. Well, I do but I can only do so much at one time people. Geez.

So, if I don't see you anytime soon, Happy New Year and happy caucusing (if that's your thing.) I'll see you in January!
