Yeah, I'm a day off. I don't care. I'll double post today. I deserve the freebie! Want to know why? Because despite the sorry, sorry state I was in on Tuesday morning, I still managed to drag my ass to the polls at 7am and show up for work after that. This is the part where you disregard the fact that I was sent home by noon and was in my bed by 12:30 and remained there for 4 hours watching QVC. No, I didn't order anything. Of course I wanted to.
Open bar is the devil, and I may not be able to drink again until the holiday party next month. It was one hell of a time, though. We were all feeling very festive. I wish I had my own pictures to illustrate, but my camera didn't even make it in the door with me. Considering the poor phone choices I tend make when there's tequila in the vicinity, my iPhone stayed tucked away for most of the night. You'll just have to use your imagination.
We got it together for a good show last night, which I called close to perfectly, thank you very much. Afterward, I hung out in the bar just long enough to see that the election was called for Obama. Just hung out. Sans alcohol. Some fool ordered a gin and tonic and quickly realized that was a bad idea and kept trying to pass it off, but none of us could even look at it. I got home just in time to hear Obama's speech and squeal at the sight of his Lady and two little girls. I love the new first family, and I hope the next 11 weeks fly by. Bring on the cabinet appointments!
