It's Friday!

It's been a tough few weeks at work, I'm pretty tired when I get home. I've been drafted for a new project (which will probably last about a year and a half), which involves research and two-hour twice-weekly meetings, so I'm trying to make sure everything is covered in my regular workload while working on this new project.

Besides Obama being elected (my eighth-cousin through the Dunham-Singletary connection), not much else has been as exciting in my life this week!

This weekend is my sister's housewarming party, so that should be fun. And I've been "talking" to my relatives on Facebook, which has been nice. And Ray is making dinner tonight, which is awesome. mmmmm...fajitas!

Yes We Can!

I've never been so excited for a President as I am tonight for President-Elect Barack Obama. I am basically a Republican, but found I could not support John McCain and his running mate.

I am surprised, humbled, and very happy that we have elected Barack Obama, who is the first African-American President. His acceptance speech moved me, and made me glad I voted the way I did. I feel like he is for US, the nation, not just for special interests, is interested in making America the nation it should be, with all our help. It's not one man's work, it's all of us.

John McCain's concession speech was also very moving. I thought it was gracious, and think that if he had run the campaign as the person that he is, with a better running mate (and didn't own 12 houses and have a fembot wife), he would have had my vote, and maybe would have won.

Phew! I've been so worried about the outcome of this race, now, hopefully, I can sleep well.

More Political Humor

When reading through some blogs tonight, I found this picture, which led to this thread on fark. I'm still reading through the entries...
