Everywhere I Go, Kids Wanna Rock

OMG.

YES!!!!!!!!!!

The Sweetest Things Get Lost in the Static

So, rather than writing the paper or reading the book I have due for class tomorrow night, I have been reading the news a little bit. While on cnn.com, I read this article about Obama. I really enjoyed it. I think the thing I like most about Obama so far is that he creates a feeling of unity that the US was seriously lacking these past few years. He makes me excited about being an American. I appreciate that, as a woman, I have the right to vote, that I voted for him, and that he's going to bring change to Washington. I'm also excited to see what kind of puppy he and his family get. Haha.

I am 99% sure that I want to get married some day. I just feel weird talking about it sometimes because it isn't a viable option right now. Or something. It doesn't really make sense. However, no matter when or if or who I marry, I will want it to be a fabulous affair. In a perfect world, I would have Laura Novak as the photographer. Her stuff is genius, and just bursts with life. I love it. See here:


I was reading Snippet & Ink yesterday, and I saw some of the cutest engagement photos. Bah. I should really probably stop reading things about weddings because it is just making me feel crazy. You know? Anyway, here's one of the photos I mentioned:

Ridiculously cute. *sigh*

I met CLRG's cats last night when I went over to his place. They are super cute and, even though I tend not to like cats, I liked these. One of them liked me, too, and sat next to me on the couch when I was doing homework. Having that cat next to me made me miss Miles and all of his crazy antics. And then seeing the cats interacting with CLRG made me miss Jack. I can't wait for Christmas, because the parents are bringing the dog with them when they come. Can it please just be Christmas now?!

all we are, we are

Mars Ain't the Kind of Place to Raise Your Kids...

Wow, what a week. I mean it. I know it's still happening, but it has been jam-packed with some interesting times. Overall, everything has made me look forward a great deal more to Friendwifecoach's visit (13 days to go!) and Thanksgiving, and Christmas. *sigh* I can't even wait.

Tuesday, though, was a phenomenally wonderful day. I was so anxious to see results from the election that I stalked cnn.com constantly. I was in class in the evening when results started coming in. I cried during the Grant Park speech. Everytime I think about the fact that it is true that Obama was elected, I get all smiley and happy because it was about time. You know what I mean? So awesome.

The rest of the week was pretty standard. I had class, work, homework, no time, etc. Chuck came to visit and it didn't go so well, especially at the end. I don't really feel like going into details right now but, as my mom says, "everything happens for a reason." I believe that. I hope he does, too.

I don't have to work tomorrow and I am sooooo excited. I might sleep until 7am. You know, if I'm feeling adventurous. I have to finish my 10 page research design paper and read The Midwife's Tale for Monday, so that'll be fun. I have a rough draft of another paper due on Thursday, too. Good times. I'm really psyched.

Blah. This was not an entertaining entry. Next time, maybe.

Let's Get Rich and Buy Our Parents Homes in the South of France

Yesterday, I took the bus to school, as usual. When K and I got off at our stop, I heard Barack Obama's voice. It was surprising, because it sounded like it was just coming out of the sky, a la the voice of God or something. I quickly remembered that he was having a rally at the arena and then everything made sense. It was so awesome. I was really sad that I had to go to class and could not attend. I did find some photos online from the rally, so I can pretend that I was there.



I can't wait for next week.
