YES WE CAN!!!
so this was initially written as a guest post for julie, but i thought, what the heck, i haven't posted in, oh, FOREVER...so i'll throw it up here too...
as many of you may have heard, we have a new president-elect…it is kind of a big deal in that we seem to have finally broken the racial barrier as to the leader of our country. mind you, there is still a lot of work to be done, but we are FINALLY headed in the right direction!!!
i woke up first thing tuesday excited to have my voice heard –this is the third presidential election that i have been able to cast my vote – that makes me feel old. i did vote in the previous two but alas, like ben affleck, whomever i voiced my support for seemed to lose…(sorry gore & kerry). i may not have as an emotional story as julie (which was a moving one), but the same excitement coursed through my veins as i walked with my husband to our polling station at 7:00 am. i am proud to say the nation finally seemed to agree with me and we did it. :o)
so what to me is the most exciting thing about having a first family that is adorable, compassionate, hardworking, dedicated (not only to the nation, but with one another), and down to earth? the fact that in his acceptance speech barack promised his little girls a dog for the white house.
to those who may now know, i am a HUGE animal lover (and thank goodness massachusetts voted to ban dog racing). this promise prompted me to start a list of possible names for the first pooch. they are as follows:
• mobama
• change
• trigger
• cali(fornia)
• hope
• virginia
• equality
• florida
• hillary
• russia
• fred (armisen)
• and my personal favorite: maverick
thoughts???
p.s. i think it's about time that microsoft word starts to recognize barack obama…make sure you add it to your dictionary…
