Yes! It was such a celebration. Excited to see the Obamas speak later.

I watched as late as I could. Sadly, I couldn’t stay up for Obama, but I’m sure it’ll be posted somewhere.

I know where my birth certificate is because I needed it to get “real ID” the last time my drivers license expired. So now it’s in a plastic bag, along with my passport and social security card, in my important papers space, along with euros and Canadian money from my travels. It’s not quite a to-go bag, but if a tornado was heading my way it would be easy enough to grab and stuff in my bra as I headed for the one windowless room in the apartment.

I know where my official notarized copy of my birth certificate is and my original Social Security card. Embarrassingly, I've never had a passport.

Watched as much of the DNC as I could last night, but didn't make it to the Obamas. I did, this morning, watch the video of Tammy Duckworth's speech. I love that there's so much positive energy in the convention - I watched part of the roll call and it reminded me of past conventions (when it would go on for a LONG time).

I've never had a passport either. Just been to Canada and Mexico.

I do know my birth certificate is in the safe. Documents always seem more important when they are in a safe.

I have all my paperwork including my passport. I've had FIVE last names, so getting my real id in Florida took a lot of paperwork.

I didn't watch the convention live as we were driving to Maine and then went out to dinner. The outtakes I have seen today have been awesome.

Also, no moose sightings yet despite all the signs that claim they may be crossing.

For all my complaining about my birth certificate, I was able to get a Read ID drivers license without it; my passport and social security card were good enough.

despite all the signs

Moose are committed contrarians.

I'm obsessed with the music selections for last night's roll call.

Also by the DJ, who decided that right around Rhode Island was a good place to start rapping.
