President (No-Longer-Elect) Obama. Sounds so great.
I had a lovely Inauguration Day. About 30 people in our office sat around the big TV in the lobby and watched the coverage. To celebrate that night, I cooked a delicious dinner, and we drank Proseco to toast a new era!
The mundane, at least in comparison to the above:
I started watching Heroes for the first time. I watched the first and second disc of the first season and am already hooked. This is a show I have been meaning to watch for years. Dear friend Drew was the first one to recommend, and since Drew and I love a lot of the same things and are birthday buddies, I don't know why I didn't listen earlier.
I ate my first Jimmy John's sandwich. All I can say is I didn't have to pay for it.
The smell of famous Garrett's popcorn disgusted me so much, I changed a walking route I used to take to work. Today, my boss brought some in. I had my first taste of the famous cheese and caramel mix. If you don't think about how disgusting it is, it's pretty tasty. Otherwise, woof.
I changed my route to work and for the first time since I moved here I have been happy with my morning commute. What a good idea to have the Purple line run the opposite direction than the Brown around the Loop! I'm so over the Blue Line. At least until it's warm enough again for me to walk and ice doesn't line the sidewalks.
I noticed birds chirping when I left my house. I felt pretty happy go lucky for even noticing this and more so for being happy about it. Apparently I was not alone in this appreciation. Two coworkers commented on the same thing.
I have had two diet Cokes this week. I never drink soda. I blame this on popcorn. I think this is the first week since maybe freshmen year of college that I've had more than one soda in a week. Probably even a month.
This is the first week I have kept my New Year's resolution of not going on WebMd. I am trying really hard to stop being such a fucking hypochondriac. Not visiting that site is definitely helping.
