two reasons why i love today

1. this is who is in charge of america:



1. this is who is in charge of my belly (the fake dog version):



i spent most of the morning crying in a room full of my co-workers. then i got back to work, then i came home and we watched the neighborhood ball with our friends and cried some more.

for dinner jes and i ate the (fake) pigs in the blanket we were going to bring to nikki and christina's party. we couldn't go there b/c our car is broken. so we stayed home and jes watched it on tivo. oh yeah, i cried then too.

my friend nifa went to the inauguration with her pregnant partner. they stood and waited and froze their butts off, but she said it was amazing. the pictures of them waiting in some tunnel to get to their seats gave me anxiety just looking at them. but i bet it was amazing to feel the energy of the crowd, you know?

anywho, i am spent. all this hope and joy and change can take a lot out of you, you know?

happy first day of the best thing that has happened to this country in a REAL.LONG.TIME.
