I have a little bit of time before I have to go vote and this little slice of life made me smile.
My dear friend Daisy, an Obamana (play of words on Obama and hermana which means sister). She is a stunning Latina, tall, smart and beautiful who is also writing a novel about women which I am sure will be spectacular. My friend is going to do something special and traditional for the election night party. All of us volunteers, CAD victims and others will be awaiting the election results at some kind of shindig or other. We will all have a glass of spirits in our hands and our hearts at the pit of our stomachs.
But….
Daisy has a better plan, something very constructive and positive. On New Year’s Eve we Latinas have several traditions to ensure us of a very prosperous New Year to come. We carry change in our pockets, throw buckets of water outdoors to ward-off bad spirits, gobble up our twelve grapes right before midnight, wear something new and eat and eat and eat. Well Ms.Daisy is a traditionalist and just informed me that in keeping with tradition She is wearing a pair of new panties for Obama!!! Really good idea Daisy, just be sure to keep them on untill 2009!
