History in the making

What a big day. I haven't heard the speech yet, but I am sure it was amazing. I was very happy to hear that Paige got to watch some of the inauguration today at school. One of those days that you will remember where you were and what you were doing. So what was I doing? Sitting all alone at my computer at a client site. Not really my first choice, but it is what it is. So I started an email string about this historic day and had some political banter with family. My favorite part was wondering out loud what Ex President Bush is doing tonight? I doubt he put on his penguin suit and attended an inaugural ball. My guess? Throwing down a few Natty lights at the local honky tonk with a bimbo blond named Trixie. Only if Dick Cheney gave him the OK, of course. And good old Dick would have been right by his side except the honky tonk is not exactly handicapped accessible. Besides, if he had to ask for help all the red necks would probably have just yelled at him- "Get a job you bum!"
Since Tuesday is dance day I'll have to catch up on my news later. We are really getting into our piece for the recital. The old ladies (and one guy) in hip hop are going to steal the show! Not me though, I got upstage lefted (apparently this is equivalent to playing right field-not exactly possible to be a benchwarmer in dance....) Really, it's just a coincidence I think, but I will still be breaking out all my best moves so some day I can be front and center like the real dancer in the family! And feel good about it! I am finding it so much easier this year. Maybe it's just the extra time I've spent in class, or the confidence of knowing I have done it before and lived to tell about it, but I feel more and more like I can do this. So I will. Good or not, I will have style. At least it's some good exercise too!
Diet is not going as well. Lost maybe a pound? Just trying to be healthier but that chocolate cake upstairs is not helping. Who am I trying to impress anyway?
I have some images to post from Saturday's practice-I'll put them up soon. One month to go tomorrow! Yippee!
