happy election day! and happy birthday!

i had a whole post written about exercising my right to vote (and also exercising my right to not tell you for whom i voted! and ALSO exercising my right to not discuss my reasons behind voting for him! YAY!) but i was bored writing it, so you would probably be bored reading it. so, to sum it up: i voted! it was awesome! i'm excited to hear the results! the next four years will be interesting either way!

anyway, today is election day, but also of importance: it's my friend elizabeth's birthday! (the other elizabeth. not me. it is not my birthday, and i would not refer to myself as "my friend." i mean, i like myself. but who writes a birthday blog for him or herself? weirdos for sure. so check back on january 3 for my birthday blog to myself!) Anyway, today is her birthday. i've mentioned her and her family once or twice...and i'm sure i have more to say about how incredible she is. however, time is short today, so i'll leave you with this:

happy birthday to one of my favorite people ever. hope it's your best year yet.
