before bed

It's been two days, and already I am getting plenty of job offers. I received three phone calls today! I can breathe.


And because there is a very strong chance I will be employed again soon, I splurged a little. Look what will be coming for me in the mail next week!



This does not look like something I would normally carry around (expensive labels, I mean), but it's a special thing for a very special time.

yes we did

This morning when I got out of bed, I felt like a little girl on Christmas. I have this feeling of hope and excitement for our country and its people. I am so proud of what we accomplished yesterday.

Last night I cried, shouted and celebrated in the streets with thousands of other strangers. It was a night I am never going to forget for the rest of my life. I felt like I belong to a great Nation for the first time.We are a part of something huge. This is amazing.

Today is a new day!


Change!

obama

I voted for Obama today and as I filled in the little circle, I felt so proud and excited. I almost cried on the way home. I have been following this campaign for a year and a half now. I can't believe it's all almost over!

Now I am baking cupcakes for my guests that will be coming over later for my little Election party. I'm watching the news and as of right now, Obama has 3 electoral votes, and McCain has 8. I'm trying not to get too nervous...

I lost my job today, because my nanny mom got laid off. I am a little scared and unsure about what I'm going to do about this. Anthro keeps cutting hours - so much, in fact, that I only was scheduled for two 4 hour shifts this week. So, financially, things are not looking good for me.

Without sounding negative, I would like to say that this year has been very shitty. I don't take the good things that have happened for granted, but overall - the bad has outweighed the good. If Obama wins this Presidential Election, I will have hope that 2009 will be a much better year.
