I'm sold.

For all the anger, exhaustion and fury that's been America for the past six years, for all the people in all the places and all the colors and all the dreams and all the nationalities, religions and beliefs,
this man is our chance.

To wake up after six years of pessimism and fear and indifference, to see that there is someone who still believes that this country is great, not only in military dominance but in content; to feel again that it's worth fighting for, not to be saved but to be enabled to succeed, to better ourselves and those around us.

I questioned him more than anyone, and he will have to learn and learn quick, and it won't be easy. But to have someone who gets it - that's what I'm now willing to try.

Sleeping WOULD be Nice...

Last night, the visiting friends and a few other friends came with us to a showing of "The Dark Knight" at our local indie Deco movie theater, which shows 2 for 1 movies on Wednesday nights. The best part about the place is the fact that you can sit on a couch while you watch a movie. Oh, and they make food. So you can sit on a couch, eat your dinner, and watch a movie that you paid $3 dollars to get into. They also play classics every other Sunday.


The place was packed, and while Dave and I got our own couch, the girls had to share one. It was their "Triple Date Night".

It was our second time seeing the film, and I actually liked it better this time. Though I did fall asleep for about 10 minutes during the last quarter, long day at work and couch=tired. But for $3, hey! It was cool.

In other news, I'm excited to watch Barack Obama's nomination acceptance speech tonight. I hope he tries to bridle the JFK and talk to Americans with his best adult voice. It's crunch time!

I Can Has Fake Chikins?

Good day: Friends arrive. Friends immediately take me to great vegetarian restaurant. Friends are now sleeping in the living room because they're exhausted from flying.



Also, got my first big girl job proof today:


In other news, David passed the CSET and CBEST, the tests required for him to be accepted to the teaching program at SFSU. These tests are a huge deal - he worked really hard to get the job done and is now well on his way to becoming the next California Teacher of the Year. I'm really proud of him.
