Burritos for Obama
Happy Obama Day!
I’ve been feeling pretty good today, so happy, but my neighbors, man, they are so sweet. I had just gone for a run (a run? I know – amazing!), stretched and was almost in the shower when I heard a knock at the door. It was my neighbor from next door. “As it’s inauguration day, your special day, we thought we’d bring you these.” She handed me a bouquet of flowers. How sweet is that?
I feel as if a great big blanket of doom is being lifted. I can’t even hear the words “President,” “Obama,” “American,” without welling up. I’ve cried today, I admit it. I wish I could have been in London to party, but we’re having our own shindig here tonight.
When we celebrate in this house, it usually means busting out the burritos. Today, I even bought some Corona for the honey. And a lime. I know, we go all out.
I’m so excited, so optimistic, so hopeful! Once again, proud to be an American.
And, happy birthday, mom! Yahoo!!

Woo-hoo! I listened to the inauguration on my way to work and got worried that I would cry and not be able to drive! As I looked at the other cars around me, I noticed everyone else sporting a grin as large as my own. I can’t wait to finish work, get home, and watch the celebration on the computer. I truly feel hopeful for the future again! (And Happy Birthday Crunchy Mom!)

The real question is, DID THE BURRITOS VOTE?
