Oh. You know. Stuff.


We've got to stop meeting like this...

Things. Y'know.

Why? What happened?

What a morning! I hated to go to bed last night but I couldn't keep my eyes open. Waking up to the good news started my day off right! Woohoo! And the ballot questions in Massachusetts went the way I wanted them to as well. So I still have a job because our income tax is still in place. If it was abolished our agency surely would have closed.

So it's a good day!

Woke up so happy to read the BBC news website!

I had this weird dream last night. . . I know it couldn't have actually happened though, right?

[clauderainsrm.livejournal.com]

Whoo hoo on your first!!!!

[mshades.livejournal.com]

Was it the one with the crowds and the yelling and the screaming? I think I had that one too. And some weird hologram lady....

This is the first time in ages that I turned on the TV upon waking up

And what a glorious night it was, because it was the second night of uninterrupted sleep I had!

I'm about to leave for surgery prep, and they will start poking around in my throat in two hours. No more tonsils of doom! So uh, if I don't respond to comments right away or at all it is because I'm befuddled by pain and medicines.

[ahavah]

Woo Hoo! We've finally broken free of the regime! And NC is free of Elizabeth Dole, too! Could there be a better morning?

I got to have a wonderful homeschooling moment with my kids already. We sat down at the computer and I showed them pictures of our President-Elect, the current President, White House, and Oval Office. I explained some of the history of racism, how it's affected our family (you wouldn't know it to look at me, but I'm half Mexican), why people on the news and stuff keep bringing up his color and how I hope they'll remember this moment and continue to celebrate how our country grows...

I also explained a little bit about what Obama stands for. It's bittersweet but great to say, "Remember when we didn't have gas? And when we did, it cost so much that some people couldn't go anywhere? Remember when we lost our jobs and didn't have food for a while and had to go to that food bank? And how Daddy didn't want to go to the doctor when he got hurt because it costs so much money? That's the stuff our new President promises to work on. His color really shouldn't be the big story. Remember this."

The sudden euphoria of feeling like everything is going to change. =D

I really thought it was a dream, when I woke up in the middle of the night.

And this morning, the first thing I thought when I was still half asleep was, "I've got to go vote."

[kathrynrose.livejournal.com]

Could there be a better morning?

Yep. A better morning would include a defeat of Prop 8 in CA.

[ahavah]

Oh no! Was it approved, or results not in yet?

[kathrynrose.livejournal.com]

They haven't called it yet, but it's not looking good.

[ahavah]

I had to go do a little search after your comment. I honestly couldn't be more surprised. I hope it swings around!!!

It is interesting listening to NPR this morning. I love their news analyzing and how they break things down.

I'm betting there are some political comedians who have serious hang-overs this morning.

I have a feeling that Californians, including our geek nation's beloved Mr. Sulu, are hardly going to say, "What, you just invalidated a whole bunch of our marriages? Oh, okay, that's fine." I expect court challenges basically immediately.

[roina-arwen.livejournal.com]

Good luck!

*sends zen ice cream in your favorite flavors*

I dunno about you, but I filled up my car for $1.88 a gallon yesterday. The price has been dropping for weeks, and that has nothing to do with Obama.

I'm just saying.

Still trying to get a paper done for tonights class

[bewize.livejournal.com]

That's the stuff our new President promises to work on. His color really shouldn't be the big story. Remember this.

I think that I'm going to spend most of today in tears of joy. I still have a headache from last night.

*sheepish*

[kithan.livejournal.com]

I am staying home from work today.

Yesterday? That was a good day on many fronts.

[libra-dragon.livejournal.com]

I saw it for 1.99 here last night and I am hoping it's the same or cheaper as I need to fill up.

[ahavah]

Oh no doubt! I just couldn't believe there was actually so much support for such an awful thing, especially in CA!
