Hearing "President-Elect Obama" makes me grin from ear to ear.
On a not so happy note, I was at Publix tonight after Job #2. Or is that Job #3? Let's make it Job #2. Anyway, there I was in the cheese case, minding my own business and thrilled that I was almost done shopping, when I was approached by a guy in a hair net. He wanted to know if we talked about politics at my work today.
Actually, no. I spent the day dodging strollers while hung over, so there were no discussions of politics.
He went on to say that he was sure that the only reason why Obama was elected was because people hate Bush. He couldn't imagine any other reason.
I can think of lots of reasons, my friend. Bush is just the tip of the iceberg.
One more reason to avoid going to the grocery store.

A Deep Breath
I feel hopeful.
And, I'd really like to know what constitutes a blowout.
Heh. That's not nice. This is a time for renewal, not divisiveness. Seriously.

Live Blogging?
This could be disastrous, but I'll give it a shot.
7:11 How interesting that Obama is celebrating in Grant Park with the masses but McCain is at the Biltmore in Phoenix. I wish more than anything that I could be with T at the Congress Hotel right now.
7:17 I still have a hard time accepting that I live not only in a Red state, but also one that has such incredibly stringent liquor laws. The local ballots are rife with referendums on booze.
7:25 I meant well to have windows open for the Trib, Tennessean, Washington Post and NYT, but it's making me crazy. I'll stop messing with it once my guests get here imminently.
7:32 Soledad and Bill's exit polling graph makes my head explode.
7:58 T just called me from Grant Park. Rumors abound. I have promised to text her when anything interesting happens.
8:17 More and more Senate seats for the Blue guys.
8:25 Mitch McConnell. Blech.
8:42 Need mind bleach to stop thinking lascivious thoughts about John King.
9:07 Pundits are saying that it's over but I'll believe it when I see it. No champagne yet.
9:35 207 to 135. Enough already! Call it! We know that it's impossible for McCain to win!
9:37 Holy holograms! First Jessica Yellin, now the Congress? Yikes.
9:45 I wanted to play with the holographs on CNN.com, but it's only a scaled-back Magic Map. Bother.
9:54 Polls closing on the West Coast shortly. Hopefully, we'll get an answer SOON.
10:07 Crying and drinking sparkling wine.
I think that's it for me.

Big Day
Today is one of the most important days in a very long time. I hope that the American people will have the courage and wisdom to do what is right... or, at least, what they believe to be right. It's more essential that they get out to the polls.
The next few hours will be Very Interesting.

Late Night Worries
Are the polls really true, or are we going to get an ugly surprise on Tuesday night?
Will working late at both jobs mess up my body clock more than it already is?
Will I be able to get those maples planted once and for all?
Will we ever get the garage cleaned out?
Do novenas really work?
Do I have to go to New York in a few weeks? Really?
Am I spending too much time on Facebook?

I Don't Get It
Living in an area that is so insane about football, whether it's high school, college, or pro, is wearing on me. I watch the Bears occasionally, and the Titans if there is nothing else on, but the mania escapes me.
What really irks me, though, is the rampant use of "we." As in, "We really blew it last night," or "We have a great defensive line this year." I don't know a single person that actually played football after high school, especially the women.
It's worse at the store. All of the guys play fantasy football, and they are all glued to the scores on Saturday as well.
Two more months and the college season will be over. Thank God.

Homesick
I want to go to Chicago.
I want to go to the Obama rally in Grant Park with T on Tuesday night.
I want to wake up to the smell of coffee at my Mom's.
I want to smell the crisp autumn air, complete with smoke from a fireplace.
I want to get on an airplane.
I want an Italian Beef sandwich.
I want.
