Goodness me

One of the things I would like to do is to keep a record of my life. While a regular diary is cool to do, I know myself...this is just cooler to do.

I went to the VMI football game today with my dad. It was really cool to go somewhere with him. We made the mistake of sitting on the VMI side instead of the Liberty side, and there were crazed, football fanatic military men and women everywhere. Had a pretty delicious hot dog, though. I don't normally eat hot dogs. I don't like the way they're cooked in the home or even really in restaurants. I try to save my hot dog-eating experiences for sporting events. They just taste better there. My dad and I also shared this megaphone full of peanuts. Mmm...

So with Sen. Obama being President-elect and all, I feel like I need to put in my two cents. I'm anxious to see what he actually has in store for this country. You all know very well that every politician makes promises he/she can't keep and things may happen that we never saw coming. I'm sure he has some cool stuff planned, and I'm sure he has some not-so-cool stuff in mind. The thing is, we do need to support Sen. Obama and his efforts to make this country better. We should be proud of him for breaking the mold, not making jokes about him (for example: "funny" text messages saying that all white people should report at the cotton fields on Monday or that the presidential limo is going to get spinners and dubs). If you don't agree with him and his views, cool. Don't hate him. Hate does not unify a nation. I know I will be praying for him throughout his term...come on, the man deserves it. He's had 8492058902 death threats already, and that alone can only get worse right now...plus he's going to be making very important decisions for us, so he'll need all the help he can get.

He may not be the president yet, but in 2009, he will be my president and I will support him in the best way I know how.

On another note, I've started working on gifts for Taylor's birthday and for Christmas. Also perhaps our anniversary. I've purchased a few things and I'm really excited about getting it all together for him. I'm such a crazy girlfriend, he deserves the best of everything for putting up with me on a daily basis.

I need to balance my priorities better. I've been doing an okay job lately, but I could be doing better. I need to spend my time efficiently while doing homework so I won't have anything left to do once I get home from work. I want to be able to spend my (very little) free time at home, doing other things, like getting ready for the holidays, being productive (cleaning or cooking), or reading.

It's all do-able.
