what I did instead of watching the debate

It was the beginning of day 3 of the Feast of Tabernacles. My husband and I tag teamed making dinner, and my daughter and son- in- law came over and feasted with us. We visited afterward, my daughter worked on the hand sewing on her pony plushies, and I got caught up with my facebook friends on my laptop.

I do not need to watch the debate to decide who to vote for. The current regime did not earn my vote last time and certainly nothing has happened to change that assessment. I did read my twitter feed this morning though for the recap. (I really am not trying to be flippant. Life is too short, though, for me to spend my time or energy fretting over the news. I have made a choice to feed my heart and mind on that which is of a good report.)

Here are some of the best one liners:

Robert Irvine @robertirvine1: Instead of watching two guys make promises to save small business, watch me ACTUALLY do it! #restaurantimpossible

davidfrum @davidfrum Jim Lehrer. Because you have to be 80 to remember when the news tried to be fair.

Dana Loesch @DLoesch Obama needs to phone a friend right now.

dazeofadventure @dazeofadventure Ready, aim…. RT @ageekmom: Oh please… I just want to throw water balloons at all three of them.  #Debate2012

S.E. Cupp @secupp When Romney interrupts Obama, Obama almost seems relieved.

TheBlaze @theblaze Landslide: 67 Percent of Registered Voters Say Romney Won Debate, CNN Poll Reveals

So I think I have a pretty good idea of how the evening went …
