What a week



It has been a roller coaster of a week - so many emotions.





I was so happy to see President Obama's inaugural and then the parade and the balls. I love that they are such an openly loving couple and will bring hope to America.





I have gone through other crap this week, but all is better.





Anyway - while on break I found these great Lego You Tube videos - really who has the time to do all of this - but very cool.

A Moment In History

As January 20th quickly approaches, I look back and think of where was I for my generations history changing dates.

I remember sitting in the cafeteria in 4th grade when the Challenger exploded. We were excited about the first teacher in space, and up till then I wanted to become an astronaut. At that time I did not comprehend exactly what happened, but I recall my teachers face and the shock in his eyes.

The next was 9/11 being at work and getting to work and hearing about it, when I just left my house at 730, 15 minutes prior to the 1st plane hitting the tower. The feeling of wondering where my family was at the time, hoping they were all safe. We closed early that day, and I went hom and watched tv in disbelief.

Now these are both history changing moments that are sad, but I remember coming home last November on election night, and seeing Obama accept the nomination. I got teary eyed, and I really didn't think I would see an african american president, but the time of change is on our doorsteps. Do I think all of America's problems will be solved, probably not, but we have a new hope, inspiration, something to look forward to.

I would have loved to be in the mall in DC, but I won't, but I will be able to witness history once again, via the internet and tv.

Anyway, a day to remember is coming up.

Thank you Mr Bush - You messed up the DVR




Thanks to the presidents farewell speech, which I didnt watch, the DVR was messed up and I missed part of CSI, and almost missed Grey's Anatomy. I would have been really mad if we were out, but we were watching other shows we recorded. Arrrgghhh...besides who wants to hear what he said. Looking forward to Jan 20th. Yes We Can!!
