Full of hope and sugar
I think I need Obama to be inaugurated every morning so I can start my day inspired to go out and do mighty things.
This morning I woke up, did some stuff, picked Steph up from school and got back just in time to see the last few performers before the actual inauguration. I'm sure others will say things more poetically and describe their feelings more eloquently, but I was both inspired and moved. Fuck the pundits who belittle his speech for it's lack of memorable tag lines and supposed ineloquence. (I know that's not really a word) America has had both and I think we're tired of it. Tell us we need to make hard decisions, tell us to work for something larger than ourselves, tell us you'll be there alongside us to help, but not to wipe our asses for us. I think that's what we wanted and needed to hear more than we needed the next "Nothing to fear but fear itself" style catchphrase.
Afterward we took a break from watching the parade and zipped on out to Krispy Kreme and got our free inauguration day donuts.
Then I got home and found I had 5 pages to flat by tomorrow. Yes I can!
Anyway, here's Steph and I all bundled up, but warm in our hearts and our freedom donuts:
And God bless us, each and every one...
