New Apartment

So today I finally started moving my crap into my new apartment. I've had the keys since Nov. 1st but have been too busy (lazy) to move anything. I had been sleeping on a pile of blankets on the floor since I am avoiding my old apartment. Today I finally moved my bed, dresser, desk, card making desk, hope chest and rugs. Yay me. Now I just need to move my massive collection of clothes and shoes.

We Did It America!

This is long but amazingly inspirational.

Eve of Election Day

I cast my ballot today decidedly more excited and hopeful than when I cast my ballot 4 years ago. Last time there was not a candidate I believed in, nobody to cheer for and to get excited about. Although I started this election year as a fervent Hillary supporter I am now excited about our future under the Presidency of Barack Obama. He was not my first choice but it's obvious to see that at this time he is the right choice for America. In the last week I've heard of 5 friends that have been laid off from work, our economy is in turmoil and we have doubts about our future. The hope that we seek is finally here. I spent hours upon hours working on my ballot. I treated it as though it were the most important school assignment I would ever have to finish. I know tomorrow night I will be up until the wee hours of dawn watching election coverage with a pot of macaroni and cheese in my lap; not only because it is one of my favorite past times but also because this election counts more than any other in recent history. This is the one that is going to return hope to Americans. This is the one that will restore our futures.
