This is so surreal. I mean, four years ago, I heard Barack Obama give a speech at the Democratic National Convention, in support of John Kerry. I looked at Lance and said, "That man will be president someday."

Someday. Four years later.

Amazing. Unbelievable. Tonight, I have never loved my country more and have never been prouder to be an American.

And since McCain just gave his concession speech, it is really starting to sink in now.

Wow. I am stunned.

And yes, for those of you who are on Facebook, I did, literally, bootydance.

I downed a beer so fast. I booty danced. My dogs booty danced - jumping on me. The entire house was in an uproar of joy! The only thing that would make this moment better - Matt here to dance with me. He's going to be so overjoyed. I cannot wait for him to call me tonight when he wakes up!!!

I think some alcohol would definitely add to the celebration. I just don't want a monster headache.

Damn, I really wish I didn't have to work tomorrow.

It was the last beer. A dunce - I completely forgot to buy a bottle of wine for tonight to celebrate (although I was fearful there may not have been a cause for it) ...but one drink was enough ...it was a left over Lager I bought for that recipe I just posted the other day that called for Lagers - LOL.

I said the same thing to Eddie! I am so excited.

I cried. Like a baby. Still can't dance as I'm healing from the surgery, but I did cry kind of a lot.

I didn't cry at all. After he was named as the president, while I was waiting for his speech, I hopped in the shower and sang to myself and danced. And I'm not naturally a joyful person. But I just couldn't help myself. I have hope again. I can believe that anything is possible.
