SUNDAY, SEPTEMBER 11
Last Sunday, I interviewed with the Democrats of the 49th Assembly District (49th AD) for an endorsement. I sat at Denny's for about five hours waiting for my time.
It was absolute torture: I was nervous, anxious, and hungry. The dessert menu kept tempting me. I really wanted to order that warm brownie a la mode to calm my nerves. But what if brownies get stuck in my teeth?! What a horrible scene that would be standing in the middle of the room, smiling, giving my campaign spiel and bits of brownies are over my teeth...and what if I order it and they call my name. Wasted brownie and melted ice cream. No, thanks.
Plus, I need to stop eating when I'm stressed. I have to keep this girlish figure. LOL
MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 12
Received good news that I was recommended for an endorsement by the 49th AD. I thought about having a brownie a la mode to celebrate...but, NO (Must. Have. Self-control - woosah, woosah).
TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 13
Attended the Los Angeles County Democratic Party meeting to hear the campaign endorsement decisions. It was such an experience to see the democratic process into play! The voting process, the speakers, the energy. Proud to be a Democrat!
But, I was still was on pins and needles until I heard the words, "Congratulations, you have been endorsed by the LACDP." On the way home, I drove past two Denny's...brownie a la mode continued to haunt me.
Just writing makes me want to jump in my car and drive to Denny's... SMH
