More Random

Not sure if a title like 'more random' should mean additional random items or things that may seem even more random than before. So I will do my best to fulfill both needs.

*Precinct Caucus meetings for both the Republican and Democrat Political parties in Utah are on Tuesday March 23 at 7:00 pm. Make plans NOW to attend.

*JUST FYI I gave up Farkle cold turkey and I don't miss it in the least.

*Why should you attend your neighborhood caucus meeting you ask? Well mostly because right now because of the way politics run in Utah a GREAT deal of decision making is done at party conventions. And the only way to have a say at the convention is to become a delegate.

*Update on my A place for everything and everything in it's place mantra. It is still alive, though took a crippling blow over the last month. Made quite a bit of progress today though and it feels good.

*You may think it doesn't matter if I'm a delegate, someone else will do it. You are darn right someone else will do it. And it is very likely to be someone with extreme views on either side. You see those that go along with the flow and aren't passionate about any specific cause often just go along with the flow. BUT the conventions are SKEWED with people that do have passions and I can guarantee that they likely don't match with yours.

*I am addicted to Chick-fil-a's lemonade.

*Any restaurant that sells 'fake' lemonade should be put out of business.

*But I don't know anything about being a delegate. Well there is no time like the present to learn. And it is not really hard.

*First you must register as a member of the party that you want to be a delegate. But I don't want to register you say. Well, then you are letting other people that may or LIKELY may not have your best interests in mind.

*Second, if you run as a delegate...it is good to know the basics of what that will entail. If you don't know...let me know. I'll write a post.

*Third, remember you have JUST as much right as anyone else to run as a delegate. This is AMERICA and this is the purest form of politics.

*Fourth, I GUARANTEE your vote will count.

*I got rid of 3 huge garbage bags of clothes and toys today to the DI. And I feel fine!

*I think it's cute how much Mike loves his truck.

*To find out where your caucus meeting is check the county political party website. Just google it, it won't hurt.

* I should apologize for being so cantankerous about my stand on being a delegate, but I'm not going to. THIS is your life, your country, your opportunity to make a difference.

*Oh yeah, and have a good night.

Since you brought it up, I thought I'd let you know that I'm doing my duty and hope to be a delegate this year. And, yes, I do know what that entails. And I agree wholeheartedly with your statements about why one should bother being a delegate if one really cares about who gets elected to run our government.

And, if you happen to be a delegate in Davis county (anyone out there) re-elect Jim Ivie as Davis County Assessor. (Kat, feel free to delete my comment should you care to keep your blog politically neutral on this point. I'll understand :)

I'd like to know more about being a delegate. Post requested.

I need to get my kids to make a generous donation to D.I., too.

I love Chick-Fil-A sandwiches. I need to try their lemonade.

Thank you Amanda...you can definitely share your political thoughts here. I love it. (And I hope I didn't come across as being the 'only' one that's ever been a delegate..I was trying to be tongue in cheek)

Brenda...post to come.

I'm with Brenda - I'd like to know more about being a delegate. Maybe that would help me get more involved in the political scene.

I liked the way you added non-delegate randomness in your blog - it was like commercials in the middle of a speech :)
