November
4, 1980
Well,
Ronald Reagan will be our new President of the United States for the next 4
years. Jimmy Carter lost really
bad. I voted today, and when I got in
the booth really felt special to think
that my vote would really count. I know
you aren't supposed to tell anyone how you voted, but here's how I did.
Ronald
Reagan - President of the United States
Scott
Matheson - Governor of Utah
Jake
Garn - Senator
Jim
Hansen - Congressman
Don
Turner - 4 year commissioner (Morgan County)
Frank
Bohman 2 year commissioner (Morgan County)
Don
Dinsdale (schoolboard)
Glen
Brown - State representative #66 (district)
So
far, Reagan, Matheson, and Garn have won for sure. It's still to close to call between Jim
Hansen and Gunn McKay. (Hansen won) Locally we won't know until
tomorrow. Today's Tuesday (Roger's day
off). He came home last night at 10:30 p.m.,
and had to work today for 8 hours starting at 6:00 a.m. Well I went up to Grandma Dickson's and he
called me about 11:00 a.m. and said that they had asked him to drive to Idaho
with Bob Wilson on a 16 hour drive. So
he didn't get to vote. He'll probably
get home about 3:00 a.m. Mandy is all
better now, and I'm so glad. Tonight was
our ward bazaar and election dinner. I
really don't think it was a very good turnout. My Quiet Book was priced at $9.00 (WOW!) Considering I only spent $3.00 in making it,
I thought it was priced quite high. Not
very many things were sold. I bought a
little glass snowman for $4.00 and some baked goods for $1.00 I've been up to Grandma Dickson's today
sewing on a dress for me and I'm going up tomorrow to finish it while Roger
sleeps. I heard tonight that Imperial
Motel 400 is selling Color TV's for $100.00.
Joan & Chet got one, and I called down tonight and reserved us one,
if we can come up with $100.00 by Thursday.
We are going down to Ogden Thursday to get my hair frosted and cut. Linda also laid me away an electronic game
for Roger for Christmas. I'm still stuck
at my weight between 125 and 130 pounds.
I sure wish I'd drop some more, but at least I'm still dieting and
exercising. The second weekend of deer
hunting, Roger got a big 3 point, but he gave it to Buck. (Bruce's
brother) Mervyns had a sale on drapes
and we went down and got a raincheck for some for our living room. I'm really excited. Next month we decided to get pregnant. That will put me having a baby in the end of
September, 1981. (Hello Zac !) I'm not looking forward
to going to work in January (work at IRS - data entry) . The more I
think about it, the more depressed I'll get.
Roger is really good with Mandy, but to think I'll not be with her from
7:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. really bums me out.
I'm going to try to nurse her before I go at 6:00 a.m., and then Rog can
feed her at 8:00 a.m. and at 12:00 noon
with maybe a bottle in between.
She might need a bottle in the afternoon, but I hope not. Then I'll nurse her when I get home at 4:00
p.m., then feed her at 6:00 p.m., and before I get to bed at 9:00 p.m. I'm glad I'll only be working for 6
months. I hate our stupid car. (I
think I'm referring to the orange/red maverick stick shift) This Saturday we're going to Ogden and
look at cars and see what one we want.
