So for the past four months I've been working on my boss' campaign for city council. He was appointed in March but the seat was up for election. We have spent endless hours campaigning, designing ads, designing the logo, sending out letters, making phone calls, raising money, etc....everything that goes into the campaign machine. And yesterday all of the hard work came to fruition. He won 73% of the vote...an amazing feat, even for an incumbent. Now I'm no fool, i know he did most of the work, and it was mostly about him and his relationship with the citizens of his community but I couldnt help but feel incredibly proud of myself and the work that I had done. I spent many hours at night, weekends, away from my husband, have barely kept up with friends and it was an unbelievalbe experience. I learned so much.
Now I have to spend some time catchin up with my husband, family & friends who i've neglected in the past few months.
I must admit, though, last night when the victory party was over I was driving home. I couldn't help but feel a little sadness. This campaign had become my baby. I had put so much effort and time into it that I couldnt imagine not thinking about the next finance report being due,how much money we had raised to date, sending out flyers, etc...I found myself wondering what I was going to do this weekend....if not campaigning.

FALL FOR YOU
the best thing about tonight's that we're not fighting
could it be that we have been this way before
i know you dont think that i am trying
i know you're wearing thin down to the core
but hold your breath because tonight will be the night that i will fall for you
over again.
don't make me change my mind
i wont live to see another day, i swear its true
because a girl like you's impossible to find
you're impossible to find
this is not what i intended
i always swore to you i'd never fall apart
you always thought that i was stronger
i may have failed but i have loved you from the start
but hold your breath because tonight will be the night that i will fall for you
over again.
don't make me change my mind
i wont live to see another day, i swear its true
because a girl like you's impossible to find
you're impossible to find
i didnt write this, it's a song by Secondhand Serenade. I find the lyrics to be absolutely beautiful. listen for yourself:

an observation
his eyes need her
his embrace is empty without her
his smile reflects her
not he without her
his kiss wants her
his fingers touch her
his body for her
not he without her
her scent, intoxicating
her smile, his duty
her eyes, forever
not he without her
his embrace is empty without her
his smile reflects her
not he without her
his kiss wants her
his fingers touch her
his body for her
not he without her
her scent, intoxicating
her smile, his duty
her eyes, forever
not he without her

so i havent blogged in almost a month! i have been so busy at work--we're in the middle of a trial so we just don't have a minute to breath. i was there until 9:30 one night last week. craziness, i tell ya.
i went to a wedding today--some people pissed me off. it was outside at a beautiful place in boca. it was not incredibly formal, it was nice & the bride was beautiful. i'm so happy for my girl. she has been through the wringer. anyhow. the people who pissed me off. there were about 6 people who got out of their chairs during the ceremony and walked BEHIND THE OFFICIANT TO TAKE PICTURES. so now, all of the professional pictures of them at the altar are going to have these fools standing there taking pictures. it really annoyed the shit out of me. and i wasnt the only one. seriously--who does that?
a high school classmate of mine was sentenced to 6 years in prison the other day. last year he was in a car accident (he was drinking & driving) and his friend who was the passenger was killed. someone blogged about how devastating it is that he was sentenced to 6 years. okay. i love my friends. i don't ever want to see any of them go through something like this. but--he was drinking and driving. he killed someone. the only people my heart will let me weep for right now are the family of the person killed and ryan's parents who i'm sure are devastated right now.
ok i know that seems cold--but ugh. ok i'm off that subject.
a friend of mine, tiffay, has a website...check it out: www.myweightlossreality.com. she wrote this in the "about me" section: Not being able to fit into theme park seats, airplane seats and restaurant booths. How about losing your breath while trying to tie your shoes, changing your clothes and walking up even a short stair case. Refusing to flirt with anyone your attracted to because of your size. The feeling of being stared at by others in public. Depression!!!, Anxiety!!!, Insomnia!!! and everything else you can think of!!!" i just want to say, tiff, i feel you on all of the above. that literally brought tears to my eyes because all of those things describe me too, and know that you are not the only one who has dealt with those things.
ciao
