Bush OUT, Obama IN

A text message from a friend last night:

Time to shave your pubes, Bush is out!

Amen, my friend, Amen!

Currently Feeling: A need to wrap my head around the rest of my 2008 goals at work.

This is really amazing

The Stranger’s Slog is posting letters they’ve received from Americans all over the world, about what it’s like to vote absentee and the World’s opinion from locations in Israel, Africa, England, India and more. They’re also posting letters from people voting for the first times in their lives–they are that passionate about change for America. It’s given me goosebumps.

America’s silver bullet

Last night I had such a nervous belly–I felt like today was a combination between Christmas and the day I was to give a speech in front of class.

Tonight I’m heading to Buckley’s on Lower Queen Anne to celebrate *hopefully* or cry in my beer with fellow Canadian-bound friends *God please no*.

I hope everyone had a chance to vote, or is heading to vote still at some time today. If you did, you can pick up a free coffee at Starbucks (meh), a free ice cream cone at Ben & Jerry’s (sweet) or a FREE SILVER BULLET FROM TOYS IN BABELAND (awesome).

I can tell you the obvious choice there–kinda like Obama vs. McCain.

Obama is so the silver bullet.

P.S. Feeling nervous as I am about the election? A friend pointed me in the direction of this, which makes me feel a little bit better, even if it is a “projection.”

Currently Feeling: Sick of talking about work styles at personality styles in two-hour meetings.
Currently Anticipating: Meeting up with friends tonight for an Election Party.
Currently Hating: How dark it is now! I forget each year how terrible it is.

Ta da!

What $30 of red fringe, a completely awesome mother who is willing to sew your Halloween costume, and a boyfriend who doesn’t mind matching gets you:

Hope everyone had a fantastic Halloween this year. I’m retiring yet another costume after three nights, four parties and enough beer to probably cancel out eating for the next week.

Currently Feeling: Pukey and congested. Blech.
Currently Anticipating: Watching my two favorite shows.
Currently Loving: Gingersnap cookies and milk.

Kickin’ off a little NaBloPoMo

For shits and giggles, I think I’m going to try out NaBloPoMo this November–a little challenge to post every day, including weekends, for one month. NaBloPoMo stands for National Blog Posting Month, which is officially November of each year. I can’t promise that I’ll actually have something interesting or worth reading every day, but I’m still going to try anyway.

To kick-off NaBloPoMo, I thought I’d share a little picture that my roommate took of Stella, which is the most perfect photo that’s ever been captured of her, so I’m quite excited about it.

Desk worthy for sure. Some people have kids; I have a cat.
