Voting Selfies Are a Thing

November 8th, 2018 by Karen 11 Comments

Voting selfie from 2016. It appears as though I at least combed my hair in this one, ha ha! By the way, please talk some sense into me the next time I decide that getting bangs is a good idea, thanks.

Did you know this?? You go to your polling place, fill in your little boxes, get your sticker, and then snap a pic of yourself wearing said sticker.

Totally a thing!

I’ve done it before and I’m sure I’ll do it again, although I didn’t take one last Tuesday because… Long story, but El Hub got home late from work, so I had to dart out the door to reach the polling place. I didn’t have time to comb my hair or wash my face. I also had dried bits of baby barf on my sweater because I’d just gotten back from seeing Connor Claire at Vomit-pa-looza 2018. (Side note: She’s better now.)

Sigh… Sometimes I feel like I’m in a competition with myself to see just how gross I’m willing to be when I’m out in public, LOL. ?

Needless to say, I was feeling frazzled and sleep-deprived, and kinda weirdly antisocial because it had been the first time I’d left the house in two days, but yet the nice lady who handed me my ballot said that I looked “very put together,” even though I most certainly wasn’t.

I think she was just being kind, so to that stranger who was working at the polling station on South Novato Blvd. last Tuesday, thank you for your random act of kindness. ?

Your friendly neighborhood beauty addict,

Karen

    That random kindness is so important on days like this. So sorry to hear that Connor Claire was sick.

    I’m a permanent vote by mail person. That way I don’t have to appear at the polling place in person.
    And I also don’t feel guilty about taking my time and mulling over my decisions and checking my ballot twice to make sure I didn’t make mistakes.

      I used to do vote by mail but I’d always forget to mail in my ballot on time! My brother does it because he’s kind of paranoid about his ballot being counted (so he says) and feels like it’s more secure if you vote by mail.

        I voted by mail this time mailing in my ballot the day after I got it in the mail. I wanted to make SURE I got it in on time!

    I voted by mail. My only regret was that I didn’t get an “I voted” sticker, but then a friend grabbed an extra one for me when she voted in the morning! I love that you put your sticker on your baby carrier in the picture.

    Glad Connor is feeling better! I think I have hand foot and mouth disease ? I feel awful. I definitely did a voting selfie though. Lots of places were doing giveaways for them!

    I signed up to vote by mail because I hate the lines and because I hate the lines .

    Unfortunately, I hurt my knee and xrays revealed arthritis. Might need a replacement.
