The winter birds FINALLY found the bird seed that's been waiting for them to discover all winter. There were tons of birds and I loved it! And there was a bit of a kawinky dink with my Chinese cookie fortune!

Jordyn, Kayla, & I met the Gablers at Waterford Mott High School to watch Hannah compete with the Oxford JV Competitive Cheer Team in the Second Annual All County Championship. Although we were there for FIVE HOURS on a cramped wooden bleacher seat with no back support, it was SO much fun. The last time I've been to a cheer competition, I was IN the cheer competition! Watching Bring it On doesn't count. Can't wait to attend the 3rd Annual event next year!!

Owen & Kealey at preschool. It was pajama day. Owen was not happy with Nee Nee trying to take his picture. Crab. But still oh so cute.

Self portrait of me driving to work southbound on I-75 at 70 mph. Probably should have had both hands on the wheel, but at least I had ended my conference call by this point. That is Kevin's football team's sticker on the dashboard (Tampa Bay Buccaneers)...the boys either got it out of a machine at BW3's or as part of some Sports Illustrated junk mail. And Kevin let them stick it on the dash....it's a lease, after all.

Less than a week of being laid off, and Kev already had two face-to-face interviews...both of which were today. In between those interviews he picked me up from work and took me to lunch, just like old times.

Inauguration Day could not get here soon enough for me. I've been waiting for this since 2000, when Bush was first elected. And today's inauguration of the 44th President of the United States of America is historical. Obviously, every presidential inauguration is historical, but today marks the first day that a person of color has occupied that office. I hesitate to say he is the first African-American president, although that's what the media has said (over and over). I agree with Jordyn, he's our first BIRACIAL president. Regardless of his skin color, I am thrilled with the hopefulness he has inspired in the American community and the respect he has already started to win in the global community. I was at work during the inauguration, but watched the events on the internet. Thanks CNN. GOBAMA!
