I love that she's listed as Dr. Jill Biden at whitehouse.gov.
Me too! And her doctorate is in education.
Oh Sara, you're choking me up. I am so glad you went.
Me too!
Wesley: All right. I'm going to let you all in on something you may have trouble comprehending. I assure you however-- Gunn: Vampires are real. Wesley: I was telling!

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
Oh Sara, you're choking me up. I am so glad you went.
Seriously.

DressRegistry.com is a fun place to go through to peruse the dresses women are desperate not to have duplicated at the various balls. I was playing, "Who would wear THAT to an inaugural ball!"
This one particularly.

Kat was there with Closeup.
Seeing Sparky, though briefly, was lovely and they are awesome for letting me park there. I'm sure she thought I'd lost my mind when I called to tell her she needn't pick us up at the metro because we'd met a stranger who'd give us a ride back . Um.

Our wings are not tired.
When I thought I couldn't get choked up again. Yay Sara! I'm so glad that you were there.
Rush is an idiot. I couldn't have a lower opinion of Bush and his policies, but I would have preferred to see him have some success. I would have happily applauded a thriving economy and peace on earth at the hands of a conservative Republican. But that isn't what happened. It isn't being polite to wish success to the next guy; it might even be in everyone's best interest. Does anyone take Rush seriously?

Oh, on the booing: the folks we were standing with were mostly older and started laughing when I said loudly "Now that is just RUDE. I can't stand the man, but I respect the office." They weren't impressed with it either. One said "We came to this day to be better than that." And I have to agree. Now if I were at home (and mentally, I did...) but not aloud for a ceremony such as this....
