politics, shopping, and art

i plan to vote for president next year and because of that i've been trying to learn some american politics. i have never votes before - mainly because i just didn't know enough. i like to make informed decisions. so this year i have started researching presidential nominee candidates. right off the bat i liked hillary clinton. i agreed with a lot of what she said. i also liked to see what having a female president would be like. i still do. but i also did some research on other candidates - even republican - to see if there was someone out there who i agreed with more. there is only one other person i like for president but somehow i don't think he will win...but anyways he gave a really good interview on public tv so here is the link.....http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M1AhaH1ozbg

this past sunday, since we DIDN'T go shrimping in beaufort, we went clothes shopping at northlake mall. i had some coupons and i needed some new work clothes to go on interviews with. shopping with females can be tiring, i know. but i am not really one of those females. i power-shop. i look at everything really fast and then grab whatever i like in my size. i weed out anything that is too expensive or has poorer quality then i'm pretty much done. i hate clothes shopping so i tend to get it over with asap. i always have to force johnny to buy clothes - he for some reason doesn't think he's worth having new clothes. i made him get some pants and shirts at old navy and after that he was pretty pooped. i made him go to lane bryant with me and the first thing he saw was a comfy chair. it didn't take him more than 2 minutes to fall asleep. sitting next to him was another guy who also fell asleep. it was kind of funny so i took a picture from behind a clothes rack.....



and last but not least i finally took my lazy ass over to my parent's garage and fished out some of my old canvases to re-paint. i realized what a crappy painter i am. but i don't care. people can say whatever they want about my paintings - i've decided i don't care how they come out as long as i enjoy creating them. which i did. here's the one i did yesterday:
