    Announcements

    Don’t forget to vote!!! Today’s the big day. Your vote is your voice. [We mailed in our ballots a few weeks ago...].

    TODAY: Krispy Kreme is giving away FREE star-shaped doughnuts with patriotic sprinkles to all customers with an “I Voted” sticker. 

    TODAY: Ben & Jerry’s ice cream is giving away FREE scoops between 5 and 8 p.m. to all customers with an “I Voted” sticker.

    Did you post Halloween photos on your blog? Link up at 5 Minutes for Mom and peruse all of the other cute photos on display around the blogosphere. You might even get ideas for next year…

    Good Reads

    Jo-Lynne [Musings of a Housewife] bravely states her opinion in, “Why I’m Voting for McCain on Tuesday.”

    Miscellany

    I’m bringing hats back (along with mswen, that is). Don’t you just love that Lydia Sateen Hat by Coach? Gorgeous!

    Target has some fantastic bright, beautiful coats this season. I especially like this green peacoat ($47.99). So cheerful and unexpected!

    Regardless of your political affiliations, you have to admit Sarah Palin is so fashionable. She’s a style icon, for sure. I love that her classy professionalism also has a little spunk and femininity. 

    Thanksgiving cards! LOVE this idea! I may have to do this instead of Christmas cards this year…if I can get a family photo “session” scheduled before then.

    How much is your blog worth? Apparently, my blog is worth over $60,000, but I wouldn’t sell it (too much personal info)…would you sell yours?

      Wow, $60,000 worth for your blog is impressive! You’re certainly doing something right. Congratulations :-)

      I tried to read all the explanation of how it was calculated and got seriously lost. Still, I’ve added another blog to my reading list, the blog that tries to explain it all, because I never stop learning.

      He he, my blog is worth $564.54.

      You know, you’ve gotten me hooked on trying to win a pair of SKR! No luck so far though.

      Thoroughly enjoyed the hat link. I’m on the hunt for stylish hats that will actually protect my skin while I’m teaching outside.

      Did a lot of online shopping from that article!
