The Election

We stayed up late last night watching the election results. We didn't want to miss Obama's speech. I don't think I've ever been so moved as I was listening to him talk. I'll admit that even a tear or two appeared. The way he's brought a country together and sparked hope in people is something that doesn't come along in our lifetime that often. I'm glad we get to experience him as our President. 

Unfortunately, we have to wait until the middle of January for him to take over. 

I'm glad that this week is short for me. We're forced to use some of our PTO at work before the end of the fiscal year in March, so I'm taking off Friday and Monday for no reason at all. I'm not going to know what to do with myself. Normally, when I have a day off, I'm heading out of town somewhere. Maybe I'll spend the day drawing.

This coming weekend is the Fall Fur Fest at The Ranch. Even though we were there last weekend, we're looking forward to heading back. Last weekend was so comfortable. We enjoyed ourselves there for the first time in a while. Throw a bunch of hairy men into the mix this coming weekend and what more could we ask for?
