Weekend Roundup – Waiting in Line For Early Voting Edition

October 26th, 2008 · 2 Comments

Yesterday I went to my county’s designated early voting place only to find myself at the end of a very long line. There were nearly 100 people ahead of me. After waiting out in the heat for about 10 minutes (had 2 of the kids with me), it was very apparent that this was not going to be a quick process. I chose to leave the line and will attempt to vote again today (leaving all 4 kids at home with Mr. NMOM :) ) Hopefully, I can find a time that is not too crowded but no matter what, I will be voting sometime this week, long wait or not.

Here are some interesting articles I read this past week from the Frugal Blog Network and other places in the blogosphere:

Almost Frugal has a new addition to her family and shares some frugal pet tips.

Frugal Babe shares a cool new way to make homemade pizza by improvising a biscuit recipe for the crust.

Frugal Zeitgeist asks her readers what types of changes they’ve seen from the current economic situation. The stores still seem pretty busy around here, but I have seen a few more garage sales than usual and more stores with huge “going out of business” signs.

The Frugal Duchess shares another way to save at the grocery store: bag rebates.

Tight Fisted Miser relates his experience with identity theft.

The Wisdom Journal provides 10 Tips to Stretch That Health Care Dollar.

The Digerati Life gives 8 Tips For First Time Home Buyers Entering This Real Estate Market.

    Thanks for reminding me to double-check that we’re all set to vote, and to find out where (1st election at this location).
