Finally! I don't feel like I'm living in the Twilight Zone. Some of the decisions and statement the Bush Administration made, made me want to pull my hair out. How anybody with a brain could deny global warming has just boggled my mind...but we are talking about politicians.
Out with the old, in with the new. President Obama (yay!) is getting stuff done! Check out his latest announcement. He's actually going to let Cali and 12 other states make up thier own minds about fuel efficiency. Thank goodness.
Finally! NKOTB announce April tour dates...but the closest they are getting to me is L.A. Anybody want to go on a mini road trip...oh wait...its the weekend of my grandma's 90th bday. That figures. I guess I am destined to wait until summer.
Finally! A little success on getting back in shape. I lost 1.5lbs this week and another 1/2 inch on my waist. Woot!

A Great Day
1. Bush's Last Day. I've been counting down for two years.
2. Obama's First Day.
I have never considered myself very patriotic. I have always been proud to be an American but I always had this lingering sense that I didn't quite buy into a lot of what we are told about our country and what it represents. I have always been surrounded by all kinds of people growing up in the SF Bay Area so for me I did believe to an extent that we were all equal. Then you become an adult and you realize we don't all treat each other equal. That people are still ignorant. That a man in an auto parts shop will look at me as I walk in with my husband, point to the corner of his shop and say "The broom is over there."
On November 4th, 2008 I found a reason to believe and to have hope. Most of the people in our country do feel the way I do. Today, America got its first black president.
3. Kelly Clarkson's first single off her new album was released. I know, I know. It's NOTHING compared to the inauguration. I love Kelly and I've missed her and I love her new song.
