-image-Good Times

January 21, 2009 | Uncategorized

Went to Vegas for 24 hours. Ate amazing dim sum, saw my sister and niece for the first time in years, so that was lovely. Shopped at Trader Joe’s, which is a huge treat. Celebrated my birthday with my friend Debbi. Came home the night before the inauguration, all excited to watch the swearing in on TV while I surfed the net on my laptop. Woke up yesterday with no internet! Argh! It came back around 4:30, but I missed it during the day. I would have tweeted my happiness, my tears, my excitement. I’m fired up, all righty.

Today it’s back to work, which is good because the book is going well. Thank goodness. It has taken me such a long time to get back here. All in all, a lovely few days and life feels bright and fine. How about that? There were so many days that I lost to sadness, and even though the sorrow comes, it isn’t crippling and it’s accompanied by joyful memories.

I hope whoever drops by is also feeling good and filled with hope. :)

Edit: AMAZING pictures my nephew Rami took of the Obamas! (click to embiggen)
