Today feels like the day after Christmas.

Don't worry, I still want presents at Christmastime. But still; I had a hard time falling asleep after the election coverage last night, because I was sooo happy and excited about how things went yesterday - it was like having Christmas morning in the middle of the night, and then being expected to fall asleep right after. Now my sleep schedule is a little out of whack, but the country is on track to be less out of whack than it has been in a long time, so I'm okay with losing a little sleep. :)

I couldn't BELIEVE how well things went last night. I was disappointed to see all the anti-gay legislation that passed in other states (wtf is up w/ that???), but that'll turn around soon I hope. But OBAMA!!! WOO!!! And in our state we kept our current governor who I think is great, we passed the death with dignity law, and we kicked Tim Eyman's stupid (STUPID) transportation bill to the curb. I was worried it would pass because I thought most people would be stupid enough to be like, "Hmmm...this says it will help traffic. APPROVED." But maybe people aren't as dumb as I usually think they are. At least not about everything.

And now our bambino will be born during the first term of the first non-white president. I honestly don't really give a crap what color Obama is, but I still got pretty choked up when I realized that this country would (finally) hit that milestone before our baby is even born. Now there are only like, 8,000 other things I'd like to change about this country before next June. But I doubt we'll be seeing any sinkholes shaped like this anytime soon, so I guess on that matter I'm sol:
