“Life is partly what we make it, and partly what it is made by the friends we choose.”

-Tennessee Williams, playwright

As history is made...

The Millers have been watching the TV all day. Ok, not really watching... it's been on in the background. I can't help it. I'm a media junkie. I've been trying to keep Zoey busy in the room off the kitchen. (That, and trying to get her to nap ALL day... oh well...) But while the actual oath-taking and speeches were happening she sat with us. And watched. (sort of)


I'm happy to know my daughter will only know a world that anyone in America can do anything, can be anything!


Since Zoey is still up and playing, I need to keep this short. So some tid bits of the day so far (in no particular order):

The mere mention of "Normandy" brought tears to my eyes.

Zoey has been waving today!! (She sat up unassited yesterday, too.)

I gasped when the "medical emergency" was thought to be Robert Byrd.

We finally got someone to show us about our weirdo water softener on this house (hmm, I miss city water... but we deal).

Eight days to go...

President Bush is currently giving his final press conference. Thankfully, his final press conference. As part of his opening "monologue" of folksy joking-with-the press words, he said something about the press members "...misunderestimating him..." Uh, yeah...

He also whipped out "...wall street got drunk and we got the hangover..."

Whatever will the late night comics have to say in eight days?
