I went to bed after Obama gave his speech and I heard I missed out on a lot more. Apparently, people from overseas were calling and sharing. I enjoyed both speeches from McCain and Obama. It’s surreal having a black president. I’m very proud of our country and am pleasantly surprised with Texas with 44 percent Democratic vote. Same goes for Vermont with it going Democratic for the first time since the 60s? Astonished that the party got the majority seats in the Senate as well. It just shows that America is just desperately ready for change.
Things I enjoyed from Obama’s speech: When he addressed those whose support he has not yet earned, that he is their president too; the story about the 106 year old black woman voter from Atlanta and all the history she witnessed, his reminder that it’s time for work and sacrifice now. Here we go!
Michael Crichton died today of cancer. :( One of my daddy’s favorite authors. I’ve only had the pleasure of reading a couple of his books (Jurassic Park and Congo). He was only 66 years old.
Jennifer, my occasional travel buddy (Vegas and NYC) emailed me a very loaded one worded question yesterday.
“Hawaii?”
I’m thinking about saving for a trip for next year. Hawaii sounds FANTASTIC.
Texas native. Living and working in Austin, TX. Twenty something. In hot pursuit of good food, adventure, and laughter. Dreams of owning her own place with a big giant library.

1) besides the obvious very moving/inspiring parts of obama’s speech, i have to admit that one of my favorite moments was when he mentioned finally getting that puppy for his daughters. i mean hello – so cute. that is such a lovely family.
2) cancer sucks.
3) i want to take one awesome vacation next year, too. wish i could actually start saving money. :(
