is it just me or is our next first lady the prettiest ever?
Yes she is.
Still bitter about the stickers. And still wanting to smack all the people immediately cooing about McCain's speech (including family). Miles above what I expected from McCain, for sure, but still.
ETA: not the people here. Just - can we have five minutes to celebrate Obama before we weep about "he's really a good man, it was just his campaign, so sad." Which was so what I was hearing where I was. It bugged a little. Especially considering the stone faces he gave that speech to, when they weren't booing - these are your people McCain. Putting a bow on it now is way better than your other choices.
Wow, that so didn't make it better, did it?
Absentee voters who mailed in early like good little voters do NOT GET STICKERS. This made me cranky. :(
But I has a president! And a gin and tonic!
McCain's speech was great. Obama's speech was AMAZING.
...and now I've moved on to mooning about ballot measures and wanting to kick some new and incumbent Senators and Congresspeople. And wishing they'd call some races, and stuff. And wondering how late I should stay up.
And being really really jealous and sad that I was getting calls from my best friend that I could barely make out what she was saying, but enough that I could tell she said "I'M AT THE WHITE HOUSE WE DECIDED TO GO DOWN AND PARTY AND HE WON'T BE HERE MUCH LONGER!" And when they talked about the inauguration on TV, I realized that for the first time since 1996, I won't be there. OMG.
okay, it's 3:30 am and I really need to go to sleep. No word on Prop 8? Last I was seeing it didn't look good.
I bopped down to Harlem for Obama's speech and the subsequent block party of all time.
Pretty sweet.
Yay! Yay!
I stayed up super late but couldn't manage to make it to the end. Woke up to the news this morning! Huzzah! Good on you America! DH is very, very happy.
I'm making I. a box with all of the election things in it. Along with our stickers from this rally - her first, and a really great one. And the canvassing things that we did. I want to figure out a way to document what happened to my phone last night - I had texts from all over the country that all said : "YOU'RE BLUE!" and in one case: "Your new state is blue! You can come home now!" and a few hours later, more messages that said "We're BLUE TOO!"
But the best? The best by far was natter and bitches. I want to wrap that up with a ribbon and pull it out to look at it every once in a while.
Pete - your buh-bye to Palin... omg. Sits with the gang in the corner.
Is the make-out line still good this morning?
I have coffee
And tea
And Pop-Tarts
is Twitter broken? And is there any word on Prop 8?
And is there any word on Prop 8?
No good word. It's passing, looks like. Sorry. Every silver lining has a cloud, it seems.
