OOOOOOOOOOOOklahoma

Stacey, I know I promised the Auto Zone story but I am still working on it. I wish I had tapped the whole experience so that I could do it justice. Maybe I can post it tomorrow. In the meantime here are a few things I learned at the Capitol last week.

Things I learned from my trip to the Capitol.

10. Parking stinks!

9. Good call wearing pants since it was windy. Imagine that. Might have gotten more votes wearing a skirt, but oh well.

8. The tunnel from the parking lot to the Capitol is long, dark, scary and smells suspiciously like mold.

7. Eat a big breakfast before hiking from the parking lot, climbing 5 flights of stairs, and walking up and down and up and down hallways. Although if you were as nervous as I was then a big breakfast might not be a good idea.

6. Shoes that I thought were comfortable were not. Sorry feet. I owe you a pedicure.

5. I will NEVER run for a political office. The people would irritate me. Poor Rep. Miller who got ambushed in the hallway just trying to get a file from his office. Thanks for shaking my hand anyway. If I was in your district you would have my vote!

4. I never want to be a politician's administrative assistant. Again, see note above about people irritating me.

3. Never believe people when they tell you it will only take a hour to deliver flowers and a couple of pamphlets. It went faster when we finally got the bright idea to split up. Duh!

2. Don't try to take my clipboard away from me when I am hot, tired, hungry. Let's just say that one chick won't make that mistake again.

And finally.....

1. It takes a secure man to dress like a colon polyp and walk around the Capitol.
