WOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It's a brand new day. And a very very good one.

Screen shots from NBC this morning:

I really like the bottom of the screen...President Barack Obama.

A sudden change at WhiteHouse.gov...

What a change in the Vice President's office...Joe Biden is so cheerful and open, and Dick Cheney always struck me as surly and angry and unfriendly.

the Daily Alaska photo. An obvious choice for today, the Bald Eagle.

WAAAHHHOOOOO! I am SO relieved! The fog of the last 8 years is gone! I really do feel a change has come to America. For the past eight years, I have felt that I wasn't welcome as a participant in this democracy, which had room for believers, antiabortionists, conservatives, and frat boys but those who disagreed weren't REAL Americans.

And changing from the sublime to the trivial, speaking of change coming to America, Julala, your 'about me' is outdated, as I know for a fact that Roy and Weego are no longer with you!

I agree with Marilyn. It's time to update your info! That photo of the kidlets got wrinkled in Zach's baggage. Please email that pic and I'll get it printed. Better yet! Send it to the Walgreens in Rita Ranch for a 5 X 7 print and I'll pick it up here! Thanks Julie. Oh and it's in the upper 70's here in Tucson...

Glad to know I wasn't the only one taking pictures of my TV yesterday. Great shots! I have to go check out the White House site now.

Fingers crossed. Great promise here. But he can't do it alone. His job is to lead and our job - is to be lead where he wants to go. He needs us to follow his vision, to get involved, to make sure our elected representatives don't become obstacles in 'The Path'.

You like me! You really really like me!

Or maybe you just find me horribly annoying and are about to let me know. Go ahead, I can deal.

So, whatever, you know, leave a message. Thanks!!!

Okay -- updating my profile because I never removed the guinea pigs from it, even though they have been elsewhere for months.

Um...new obsession (HA) the elliptical trainer in the garage. I hate the thing, but today I burned 395 calories. I know. I so wanted to burn 5 more to make it an even 400, but then I would be at 50 minutes and 19 seconds, so I would have to make that round out to an even 51 minutes, and then the mileage could be rounded up to a more even number, and then the calories would be just a few away from 450, but then I could do just a few more seconds, then another few hundredths of a mile, and so on until finally I would fall off, hit my head, end up in the hospital with another nasty concussion, and gain weight because I am bedridden. It was so much easier to just burn the 395 calories.

We moved from the Sonoran desert of southern Arizona to the almost Arctic of Anchorage. I like the winters of Anchorage better than the summers of Tucson, so far.

Still have three kids, the oldest one is a freshman at the U of Arizona (dang it, now I will have to edit this again in a few months), the other two live on Fort Richardson with me and the dogs and the husband.

Other obsessions...my camera, my IPod Touch, my sewing machine. Fabric. Definitely fabric. Dishes. It's a thing females in my family have, an obsession with dishes. Pottery, and earthenware. Silver, definitely. Not crystal and china though. I am not a big fan of the fussy and overly ornate, and both crystal and china tend to fall into those categories, to me. Plus if I have delicate dishware, then I can't have the kids wash the dishes or put it in the dishwasher.

Other than that, I weigh too much, sleep too little, am very liberal, rabidly pro-choice, find it insane this country does not have universal health care, and think the world may be a better place with Obama at the helm. Oh, yeah, and chocolate. Much much chocolate.
