Thanks!
The one day I leave the office without logging off my computer I come back to find this as my background:
I made the mistake of telling the office nerds how annoyed I was at the tea bag protests. This is my own fault I SHOULD KNOW BETTER! They were quite proud of their prank, and truthfully it is pretty funny.
This week is exhilarating. I have so much to look forward to. Is there anyone NOT watching “Lost?” Because if so you’re dead to me. I was this close to making a “Lost” advent calendar to track the days until the new episode. And I totally would have, but I’m lazy.
Seriously, I’m ecstatic.
And it seems like there’s another big event this week.
Hmm…
Yeah, yeah… I’m kidding. Like I could forget about today! Last night I was pajama clad and in bed by 9:00 pm. Not because I was especially tired, but because I knew the sooner I went to bed, the sooner I’d wake to inauguration day.
It doesn’t matter who you voted for, there’s no denying today is a historical day. I’m so proud of my country for voting Barak Obama into office. A man who will, without a doubt, make an excellent President of the United States to all Americans. My Tivo is set to record news coverage on two stations, and I set my old school VRC as backup. I can’t miss a second of this.
It’s feels just like Christmas morning. Only this Christmas will last the next four years.
Bring it Obama!
Less than a week to go! I assume Daisy’s excited since she’s been sleeping with her Democratic Donkey for a week. I’m certainly excited. Are you?
Remember when I asked the President-elect to meet me for coffee? Yeah, well he apparently forgot. Here I am in Dunkin’ Donuts waiting for him, but he was a no show. The closest we got to meeting for coffee was when I noticed his picture as I left. Since he’s likely busy planning for the future I’ll let it slide this time. I, of all people, understand the complexity of redecorating the Oval Office with the perfect shade of pink.
There is nothing I can say that isn’t being said elsewhere. And truthfully I can’t sit still long enough to collect my thoughts. I’m too busy dancing, crying and then dancing some more. History in the making. Sweet, beautiful history… and I can’t wait to see what happens next!
Today I was forced to vote old school: WITH A PAPER BALLOT!
After months of preparing to vote I walked into my assigned polling station this morning to discover my name wasn’t listed on the electoral role. I’ve obsessively checked the county website for months so I know I’m registered. Right before I was about to burst into tears of frustration I was told I could cast a provisional ballot. It was actually sort of cool to get my retro on and fill out a ballot by hand. I’m a tad worried about the whole affair, but am going to remain hopeful that my vote will indeed count… well count as much as a Democratic vote in Utah can count.
Vote!
A vote for Obama, is a birthday present for me!
This week’s “That’s What She Said” is all about bush. No really, it is.
Last weekend I met up with the SLC Drinking Liberally Group for some good old fashioned political fun. Here’s the “That’s What She Said” column about the evening.
My mother once asked me how she raised a Democrat when she and my father are both devout Republicans. I smiled and said, “Because I had a very loving mother who taught me to be fair and to care enough to want the best for all people.”
This election season has been simply amazing and will be even more so soon enough. I had the opportunity to vote for a woman running for President of the United States. Which is something I’ve always wanted to do. Now that I have, I’m ready to vote Obama into office.
Listening to his speech last night had me in tears. Which isn’t surprising since I’ve been a blubbering mess the entire week while watching the DNC. I’m not usually a crier, but watching political history in the making and losing my Dr Pepper Lip Smacker Lip Gloss all in the same week can be quite emotional. It’s important to have glossy lips while pumping a fist in the air and chanting “that’s not change, that’s more of the same” repeatedly at the TV.
