Electing a new Vice President

The reason for the Board of Directors meeting last night was to elect a new VP for the foster parent association. The previous person is no longer a foster parent and the position needed to be filled. I ran for secretary back last year and was doing all the work leading up to the elections (learned the United Way budget paperwork, attended all meetings, gathered all paperwork, volunteered for every damn thing), then at the last minute this other lady said she would run against me (same lady from the RAD kids post). I didn't campaign but she did, so she won. Tonight when the foster parent association president nominated me for vice president, she mentioned how I had ran for secretary and how I clean & organize the resource center and help with foodbank, etc. The secretary went on and on about how she didn't run for secretary, it was just "put on her". She said she didn't want it, wanted it to be given to me, even went so far as to say she did NOT announce during the meeting that she wanted to run for secretary. But the minutes of the meeting say otherwise. It annoyed me. I wish she would admit she wanted the job. She got it, so just own it already. Anyway, I was unanimously voted in as VP. Go me.

Nice job, VP! Hopefully, you won't go all Cheney on their asses.

Oh gosh how I would LOVE to take some of them hunting!

I just realized that I wrote "consecrate" instead of "consummate" in my last post. And I didn't catch it until a day later. Good grief. LOL

What's wrong with consecrate? Don't they have the ten commandments on the courthouse entryway? The marriage bed is sacred, bible doesn't say WHERE the bed has to be, though maybe not for you pagans. I'll have to give that some thought.

Very ballsy to do it at the courthouse. Serious props. Still think the whole post is very tissue worthy.

To badly paraphrase Nixon, maybe it's NOT a crime when the (vice) President does it....
