Maiden Voyage

Well, this whole blog thing is very new for me and I'm not so delusional to think that anyone is going to care to read what I write on here, but I know I enjoy reading the blogs of my friend, "Winelover", and who knows, it may be just the sort of outlet I need to rid myself of all the little angsty moments I have all day long that currently sometimes require a bit of a pharmaceutical boost. I guess this is kind of the new age version of a diary, though I will not be one of the unwise folks who posts stuff out there that really, no one else should/needs to/WANTS TO see.


Anyhow, it's been an interesting day. I took time out of my work day to watch our new President, Mr. Obama, take the oath of office and I was honestly quite moved. I think the Obama's are a beautiful family - when you watch them interact with one another they just feel so solid. Normal (but so sweet) children, parents who seem to be each other's best friend. I felt hopeful watching him and listening to his speech. I pray that we actually CAN turn our country around and that we might somehow find ourselves in a place to actually reach out a hand to our neighbors in need (and they to us when we find ourselves in a tough spot). I am willing to do my part!


It is my sincere hope that I can find some interesting things to blog about here, lest I bore my reader to death. I'll have to try and come up with a more exciting life. In the meanwhile, I attach a picture of my beloved Kirby, whose fault it is that I was late for work this morning because he decided that he needed 20 minutes to sit in my lap and be petted. : )
