Truth is I am done pretending

I heart him sooo much. Pretty much the entire office stopped working to watch the inaugiration today, it was compelling, the room fell silent. Obama's speach was hardening and impactful, simply amazing. It is so wonderful to feel proud of my country, and to have a leader who I agree with for once.
I am also on a conversation hearts kick since my boss/mom brought them into work. I love them because each color doesn't taste the same like a lot of those types of candies...and combinations of colors together are even better than just one. Purlpe and yellow are my personal favorite way to eat conversation hearts. Speaking of hearts, and a valentines day candy, I made me and Mike's reservations for dinner on Valentines day yesterday. I had to make them because he is new to town and doesn't know any nice restaraunts and such...it actually was tough finding a place with an available table at a reasonable time, but I found a very nice one, an Italian place called Rigsby's which is swank. I also wanted to get us a nice hotel room with a jacuzzi in the bedroom, but they were full up, so I don't feel so bad about making a reservation at an expensive restaraunt. On Saturday I am planning on going shopping with my friend Kat so I can get a new dress to wear, I have a bunch, but I want something new and geared more towards the occasion, with no other memories attached.
I also wanted to get my hair done, died and cut, before then, so I called to make an appointment today. I had completely forgotten that on Saturday, while driving past the road my salon is on, that I saw there was a huge fire, turns out my place was one of the stores that burned down. It is just horrible, thankfully I don't believe anyone was hurt, unfortunately I have to go all the way to New Albany to get my hair done by the same girl, she is rotating between there and down town and I could get in there first. It will be worth it though.
The world bursts at the seams with people ready to tell you you're not good enough. On occasion, some may be correct. But do not do their work for them. Seek any job; ask anyone out; pursue any goal. Don't take it personally when they say "no"-they may not be smart enough to say "yes."-Keith Olbermann, host of MSNBC's Countdown
I found this wonderful quote on seaheidi's journal and had to post it myself. I was working on my graduate applications last night and thinking about how disapointing it would be if I don't get into a graduate school, I know it is a possibility. But I came to the conclusion, while I was thinking, that is the same as this quote...that I should at least try. I decided late in the game to do this, I have tried my best to prepare for tests and get my things in order, and if it wasn't enough...I will pick myself up (just like Obama says) and I will continue. I will find a new way, I will make sure they know that this is what I want and that I am going to get it, eventually, someone will say yes.
I have been feeling pretty good the last couple of days.
