My turn to chime in...

I watched nearly eight hours of presidential inauguration coverage today, which is exciting and really tolling on my knees since I like to sit Indian-style in my recliner. Anyway, after all of that, I think my favorite moment was this one:



My other favorite moment was when Brian Williams said that President Obama looked like he was jonesing for some Nicorette after the luncheon. That's why I watch NBC. But hopefully I'll be back to work tomorrow (yay me) and in full force, which means no more TV during the day, except my 1 hour escape for As the World Turns. Gotta watch it. It's addicting.

How old am I???

I was watching the news, excited that they were talking about Mr. President-Elect. But, as I watched, I remembered standing on the steps of the Lincoln Memorial when I went on a family vacation to Washington D.C. My point to this seemingly boring story? I did the math. I was standing on those exact same steps nearly 20 years ago. TWENTY! No!!!!!! When did I get that old? I thought never would be the day that I could say anything more than "it's been 20 years since I was born." Yikes! This makes me realize how worthless my life is and that I need a plan to make it better than it is tonight. And I will. With a little help from my friends, of course. Any of you famous yet?

Reinventing America

We can all help to reinvent America in so many different ways.

If you want to learn more about Reinventing America, just follow this link. You can help--we all can! And that's the beauty of it.
