historic

today was a historic day. we have officially sworn in our first african american president. our country has come a very long way in a rather short amount of time. hopefully as a country we can continue to make such great progress in all areas of life.

i was at the gas station today and i saw this woman wearing an interesting sweater. it was very intriguing, as the sweater looked like a 5 year old child has created it.

interesting right?? what are your thoughts?

here is some hotness for your day. the always sexy andy roddick practicing for the australian open shirtless. very nice.


so who watches the bachelor? i am loving it this season. there is so much drama! my favorites are melissa from dallas, jillian from new jersey and stephanie from alabama. stephanie's face scares me a little but she seems so genuine and sweet and her little girl is adorable. when her daughter came running up behind her on the beach i cried hysterically. that was without question one of my favorite bachelor moments. the two of them and their kids would be adorable. the one i hate the most is meagan. she is bitchy and seems fake. i would like for her to go home.
the united states of tara premiered on sunday and i absolutely loved it. toni colette is hilarious and the show started off very well. i am excited to see the final personality (alice) to come out, we didn't get to meet her on sunday.
i will say this once and that is it, i hate american idol. repeat hate. i don't understand why it is still on the air. the only good idols are kelly clarkson (obsessed with her new single, my life would suck without you! get it on itunes immediately) and carrie underwood. both are fabulous but every other idol has been basically unsuccessful. i love clay aiken but he didn't win. he has an amazing holiday cd.

here is something fun that jill did on her blog. i'm bored so i'm going to do it too. enjoy!
~open the book closest to you; turn to page 56.
~find the 5th sentence.
~post the text of the next 2 to 5 sentences on your blog along with these instructions.
~don't dig for your favorite book, a cool book, or an intellectual book! Pick the closest.

here is my closest book:

and here is what page 56 has to say:
"what a disaster. the sex was okay, but for some reason i lost interest....or consciousness. whichever. i awoke to a blinding sunlight burning into the room at around seven a.m. this guy didn't even have blinds on his windows. this place was turning into some sort of torture chamber."

i haven't actually started reading the book but i plan on it tomorrow. i love reading and chelsea handler is hysterical so my guess is that i will seriously enjoy the book.

one of those days......

today is really just one of those days. one of those days where you want to crawl back under the covers and stay there until tomorrow. everything has sort of just come to a head at once and it is now chaos. and what's worse is that there is really nowhere to escape. maybe i need a therapist. just a nice third party to vent to. honestly, who doesn't love the opportunity to go somewhere and simply talk about yourself or any other topic you choose for 45 minutes to an hour? i never get to do that. that's one of the many problems with being the middle of three girls.
i wish i could just scream. really really loudly.


2 more days till history.
