vote, vote, vote
This is probably the first election in my time as a voter that I have actually paid attention. Until yesterday I thought I was registered to vote in Utah. I wasn't completely sure but I voted 4 yrs. ago here so I thought I was good. I planned on making sure I was registered to vote when I got a new driver's license but that never happened (I still have a Texas driver's license that expired on my b-day this year 9/25...shh don't tell). Every time I decide to go renew it I realize it's Friday and none of the government office buildings are open on Friday in Utah...ugg. So I have continued to drive illegally and very carefully. Anyways yesterday I had a feeling that I should really find out if I am registered. I looked online and I definitely wasn't and apparently today was the last day you could register in person at the county clerk's office. So I ran over b/t work and class and it was a mad house. We are a country of PROCRASTINATORS and I am one of them. Fortunately I was able to register and I made sure to use my student ID as a form of ID instead of my expired driver's license.

Meredith, I like this story... probably because David is the King of procrastination. He was driving around to Starbucks last night in Cali because he heard on the radio that they were registering there until midnight... unfortunately it was only certain locations. I was pretty annoyed because he's had like 2 months to register and didn't, while I'm up here desperately trying to find a way to declare Cali residency without being able to physically be in Cali so that I can vote on Prop 8. Arrggh. Haha, oh well! Anyway, glad to hear you got registered!!
So technically you are not Meredith Hendricks yet?
correct.
