Last week, May or May Not turned the big 2-8. This is getting alarmingly close t0 30. Perhaps even more scary is the fact that I often have trouble remembering how old I actually am. I generally have to round. It may be that I am the first twenty-something to join the old folks home.
As usual, since I am a Thanksgiving baby, my birthday is more of a birthday Hanukkah, an 8 day festival. It was kicked off with a bang at the IU/Purdue game, when my great uncle interrupted the birthday cake to talk about his new "companion" and how they were taking a cruise, but NOT, I repeat, NOT getting married. Ick.
Fast forward to my actual birthday when the Grinch Stole Christmas. I've been working my tail off on this holiday give away for the homeless and this lady called and said we should cancel. So I spent the big day making sure this did not happen. It diminished the birthday cheer quite a bit.
However, to make it up to myself, I just changed my birthday celebrations to the next day, which I had off. My faux-birthday was spent lunching with the girls, getting pedis and generally being totally indulgent. Much better.
I've decided that, in the spirit of the Mad Hatter, I may just throw myself birthdays at whim. Perhaps every 16th Tuesday or 400th Wednesday. Why the heck not?

It's A Zoo Out There
May or May Not friend Whitney had an alarming experience this week that must be recorded. Friend Jessica received a frantic, but hilarious call from Whitney (and family entourage), who was trapped in a utility closet at the Pensacola, FL zoo.
Turns out the cougars slipped out of their enclosure and the zoo officials, in a panic (rightfully so) shoved the zoo patrons into any available safe spot. Thus, Whitney, daughter, mom, sister and nephew were huddled in the broom closet for three hours while the pesky critters were caught.
To make up for their trauma, the zoo gave them free passes for another visit. Maybe they'll let the tigers out then...

Low: Now we have to listen to our own leadership make fools of us all by posturing, politicizing and playing around.
High: It is the holiday season, we've got upcoming vacation and time to spend with family.

High: Michelle Kwan recently named UN ambassador, confirming everything is right in the world.
Low: Sasha Cohen's website still has the tag "Sasha Does Hollywood!" up. Please insert appropriate inappropriate remark here.

The Kicking Asses
It's no secret that May or May Not has a decidedly lefty slant. It should come as no shock, then, that last night served as one of the best in recent election memory, what with all the R's losing and all.
Some particular highlights include the winning back the Indiana House, the House of Representatives, the majority of the Congressional delegation, and a few choice local positions.
Sadly, my man Joe Pearson did not win, so the BMV will stay in turmoil and Todd will continue to disenfranchise voters.
So there is still work to be done, hearts to win and donkeys to pin.

Get Out the Vote
Whether you're D or R, Green or Liberated, don't forget to vote tomorrow.
In an attempt to collect her own thoughts, May or May Not is offering the following endorsements for those living in the Hoosier state.
In an attempt to collect her own thoughts, May or May Not is offering the following endorsements for those living in the Hoosier state.
- Joe Pearson. He's the best. A farmer from nothern Indiana, he's not only taking on the secretary of state's office, but has decided to revamp the BMV as well. A little of his farmer's common sense would be welcome at the State House. And, frankly, I'm ticked about that Votor ID law of Rokita's.
- Beth White. She's running for Marion County Clerk. Her main superiority over her opponent is that she can actually count.
- Julia Carson. Yes, she's a little batty, but listen to her for long and you'll suddenly realize she makes sense.
