The Cool Bloggers Election Support Group

For Day 5 of NABLOPOMO I thought we should start a Cool Bloggers Election Support Group (inspired by poor Engie’s post yesterday.) You don’t have to be a blogger to join, but if you join, you’re automatically cool.  The agenda for our first meeting is:

Are you planning to follow the election coverage tonight???

I kind of feel like I can’t bear to watch.  But how can I NOT watch?  I can’t just go to bed like nothing is happening!  My first idea was that I could hide in bed, preferably with a book and a cat, and my sister could text me updates.  But she would only be allowed to text me good news, and eventually she would just vaguely assure me that everything would be fine, and I should go to sleep.

Strangely, my sister wasn’t really down with this.  So my next thought was to watch the coverage from start to finish, with a six pack of beer. If I wake up Wednesday feeling like crap, that’s okay! It’s my day off, so after I take my daughter to school I could just go back to bed.

This option is temping, and definitely a valid plan, but I probably won’t do it.  My husband came up with a third option, which is to ignore the election coverage entirely and spend the evening watching Seinfeld reruns.  Hmm.

Maybe we’ll do a combination.  We’ll make pizzas and I’ll have ONE beer.  We’ll start watching the coverage and go from there.  Depending on how things are going, I can keep watching, have another beer, turn on Seinfeld, or go to bed.

What will you be doing tonight?  Do you think we’ll have a result by Wednesday?  By the end of the week?  Are you freaking out, or glad the election is finally here so we can get it over with?
