Domesticated

In an effort to beautify our apartment, we've made a trip to Ikea. And Best Buy. Check out the new kitchen storage, spice rack, and the flat panel TV. Guess which one is getting the most use from me? Although I do love organizing the spice rack. It appeals to the left brain in me. However, in an attempt to broaden my domestic art horizens, I'm watching Two Fat Ladies. It's British PBS and these ladies are fascinating! Especially when they flirt. Thanks Joy for ordering it on Netflix!


Hair Day


I was inspired by a friend's blog to change my hairstyle. See if you can spot the difference in the picture. I parted my hair to the right! I never realized until today that my hair was left brained as well. My life is never ending excitement.

Celebration at the White House

So I just found out that I was at the White House celebrating Obama's victory with Joan Baez on Nov. 4th (among thousands of others who thought ticker tape parades should be brought back along with candy pink refrigerators). I have never seen DC so happy. I have never been in a friendlier place. Eat your heart out Disneyland. Here are two videos of places that I went to celebrate on election night. Not having a camera, I've relied on You Tube. Thanks You Tube!







Lastly, I'll never forget being on U street in DC frozen in a moment as we all gathered to listen to Obama's victory speech. People were spilling out of bars, others were blasting it out on speakers from souped up SUVs so we could all hear. Every car honked (including mine) in a three syllable tatoo: O-ba-ma, honk-honk-honk, O-ba-ma.
