It’s Wednesday Night… (Well…it was when I wrote this post, now it’s Saturday and I just realized it didn’t publish) Damn!

…and…that means absolutely nothing. That means that I’m getting home from work late and that I most likely had a long day and am ready to call it quits by the time I walk through the door.

Just a few random things that are happening in my life:

*Congrats and respect to our new president, Barak Obama. Yeah…I’m a little late on that, but props to him none the less. This was also the first time in my life that I voted in an election. Or voted ever for that matter. I was also able to watch the inauguration; which I do believe is the first inauguration that I’ve ever watched. My workplace hosted an inauguration party and it was so awesome. We were all able to come and watch the inauguration on our projector and there were flags and sparkly hats and food and crying ladies and cheering people. It was a very cool experience. Not only was I am to watch the entire inauguration during my work day (a privilege, I know), I was able to see the first black man put into the highest ranking position in the world, and I was able to do it while surrounded by people from every walk of life. The organization that I work for has employees from about 26 countries. It was an awesome mix of proud African Americans and staunch, old white men, and every other nationality you could imagine. And AMEN to finally having a president who can speak in public without embarrassing himself and stumbling over his words. Buh Bye Bush. Oh….and if you didn’t vote…you have absolutely no right to complain about the state of the Union.

*I’m super busy at work. I will be until the end of tax season. We are hoping to prepare taxes for 15,000 Houston families who make less than $45,000 a year. I hope we meet our goal, but dang-there is some stiff competition around here. There is a Jackson Hewitt and Mom n’ Pop Tax place on every corner. If you’d like to know where you can get your taxes done or if you’d like to learn how to prepare taxes to become one of our volunteers than email me and I will send you the info. This is of course for those of you that live in Central Houston.

*I was finally able to clean my apartment today after I got home from work. I get a little uneasy when my apartment is messy. Luckily for me, my apartment is the size of a shoe box so I can pretty much clean it from top to bottom in less than an hour. I kinda like that aspect of my apartment.

*I’m suddenly addicted to The Office. Yeah…I know…a little late on that one too. I rented a bunch of the past season DVD’s and have been watching whenever I get some free time. Why the hell is it so FUNNY? I had watched an episode of the show a loooong time ago when it first came on and thought it was the stupidest thing I had ever seen. But now I know why my peeps all said that you have to keep watching it to really get the gist of the humor. I’ve gotten the gist and I love it. If you haven’t watched it (and you probably have-I think I was the last one to catch on) then you know exactly I mean. It’s such a weird, awkward humor that makes you love the people and hate them at the same time. Watch it. It’s funny.

*I’m reading Marley & Me. Finally. I have intended to read it for quite some time now and was putting it off. I love it. I love the humor and the emotions and the imagery that comes across the pages. Plus I love reading anything about animals. The Black Stallion is one of my all time favorite books! Oh yea…the dog dies at the end. Hate me?

*My sister/BIL finally got a video camera and they are now posting videos of my cute nephews on YouTube. It’s almost like I’m there…minus the screaming and diapers.

*It’s cold in my apartment tonite and I am just imagining how awesome it’s going to feel when I get all cozy and warm under my covers.

*I am going to do a comprehensive post one of these days about the crazy replies that I’ve been getting regarding the post I did about Magic Milk Mix. Apparently parents across the country are utilizing my site as a hub for discussion about the suddenly discontinued Magic Milk Mix. And to think that I was actually making fun of it. Sorry parents.

*I hope you all have a wonderful day! SMILE!
