On How I Had the Best Weekend Ever, and I Shared it with Obama...

Remember my previous post about throwing my own party? Well, let's say the weekend ended up being better than expected...

I came in to work because, well, I don't mind it. I have lots of friends here at work, and I actually had to get stuff done. My wonderful coworkers took me to lunch at Ruby Tuesday, then later on sang me happy birthday and cut me some cake. They didn't have to, and the fact that they did made me feel appreciated and respected. What more can I want?

On my way home, my bff from far away called me to wish me happy b-day. So imagine my surprise and excitement when I walk into my house and she's sitting on my sofa! I just about had a conniption :) I was so happy! The party was wonderful. I could relax because my best friends were there to help me out with everything, all I had to do was drink and be merry. They even made sure my presents made it home with me and that Adal and I made it up the stairs! AND they drove the babysitter home because we were in no condition to drive... We will be talking about this party for years to come as a merry occasion.

Come Tuesday, inauguration day, I was exhausted from a weekend of friends and guests, and sat down to enjoy the inauguration on my sofa. What a perfect ending, the occasion made my eyes watery from watching all the emotion and drama on tv. And brought me back to when I was a little girl and wanted to be President of the United States...
