Freebies on Election Day

After a long time in the thinking stage, it is time to get this blog going. So I ask, if a mom blogs on the web, will anyone find her? Will anyone listen?

Special thanks to Sarah, Dan, Mary and Marc who participated in an extremely "scientific poll" to choose the name for this blog.

The concept for this blog developed in recent years when my kids, their friends, and my friends' kids headed off to college. While many were so well prepared to live independently, there were inevitably some questions that would arise: the how-to's of laundry, shopping, cooking, cleaning; the best way to find a bargain in airfare, train fare, theatre tickets, restaurants, books, toiletries; and numerous other topics. There's plenty to chat about.

Tomorrow is our long awaited election. By now, I hope that those of you who are of voting age have long since registered to vote, intend to vote locally or have mailed your absentee ballots. For most college students, this is more than likely your first election. History in the making.

To celebrate Election Day and for exercising your right to vote, there are a few freebies that you can enjoy on November 4th:
Ben and Jerry's, from 5 to 8 pm will be offering a free single scoop of ice cream.
Krispy Kreme Doughnuts is offering free star shaped patriotic donuts to all customers who present an "I Voted" sticker.
And similarly, head to your local Starbucks, tell them you voted and they'll give you a free tall (12 oz) cup of coffee.
But most importantly, remember to get out and vote in this extremely important election!

I hope you'll come back soon!
