Girls Night!

Sometimes it’s just too quiet in my house….or life….. I’m not saying that I crave drama, or any such nonsense, but I do crave human interaction and weekend plans.

The last couple of weeks have been slow to say the least. Jeff has been recuperating from shoulder surgery and so we haven’t done much. I know Jeff loves it. He loves having down time and being able to spend the whole day doing absolutely nothing. I find that I don’t like to be idle. I get bored with T.V. and we’re not really doing anything to the house until after Christmas, so there isn’t much there either. I like to read, but I’m a fast reader and before I know it the book is finished and I’m right back where I started.

That being said…I am so looking forward to this weekend. Sarah is coming up and we have a girls night planned. Thank God! I told my mom I feel like I have cabin fever. I don’t really have any friends that aren’t married, or have children and can’t just take a night off to visit with a girlfriend. I have been needing this like nothing else. It doesn’t have to be anything big. We’re just planning on dinner and a movie. But it’s enough!

YES WE CAN!

Come January, Barack Obama will be our new president! I am thrilled beyond words. Jeff and I were sitting on the couch watching his victory speech and we knew we were witnessing history. It's amazing to think that our grandchildren are going to be reading of this day in their history books.

For the first time since I was an eligible voter I feel like my voice has been heard. I know that I'm only one vote, but I know now that my vote counts. I'm not so naive as to think that Barack will fix all of our nations problems. He's stepping into quite a large pile of mistakes and it will take some time to even begin to scrape the surface.

I also don't think that Bush single handedly flushed our nation down the toilet either. But, he did have eight years to make or break this country and just look what he and his party has done to us.

For the first time in a long time I have hope for our country and the people in it.

BARACK the VOTE!
