Happy Thanksgiving

As always, I hope everyone is enjoying time with their family and friends. Let the joy and laughter continue as we kick off the holiday season. I am about to enjoy a nice Thanksgiving feast with my family and am thankful to have them near. I am aos thankful I didn't have to cook :)

My specialty is shopping so I bought the wine and cheesecake.

--Cheers!

Hooked on Puppy Cam

For almost two weeks I believe I have become addicted to the 'Shiba Inu Puppy Cam' featured on Ustream. I marked a tweet that included the URL as a favorite and have clicked through regularly to check on the pups. I thought this would help subdue my want for another dog in the house to keep Charlie and I company. Unfortunately, as I confess to my addiction I realize it has actually increased it. These pups are adorable. I want to share the fun...

I'm Still Proud of the USA and Teary-eyed

Tuesday's election night was an amazing moment in history that I will remember forever. I wept with many other US spectators and even others watching us from other countries. Barack Obama's speech as usual was inspiring and John McCain was a true gentleman providing a gracious conceding speech. It's true what people kept telling us, no matter what political party you voted for, the election of Barack Obama is historic in a positive way. This past Tuesday, November 4 2008, Dr. Martin Luther King's dream became reality. His children and all of America's children for that matter, witnessed a black man be judged not by the color of his skin but by the content of his character.

I watched in amazement, motionless with tears flowing down my cheeks for several minutes letting the reality sink in. It was truly an emotional night for many. Two days after and I am still emotional. I see clips of others experiencing that event and relating what meaning Obama's election has for them and their children and I get goose-bumps and get teary-eyed. I have always been proud and love my country, I can't help but to keep smiling and keep my head held high with even more pride. -- Thank you!

PLEASE VOTE

As I see my twitter updates go wild with 'breaking news' that voting has begun at midnight (eastern time) in New Hampshire, I can't help but to feel alive. I am living history in the making and loving every second of it. I urged my friends and family to vote and I think I nagged my sister too much. I kept reminding her how many suffered before us in order for us to have the right and power to vote. I will keep reminding all, no matter your party preference, make your voice heard. If you haven't done so already, go vote!
