Day 5

mn-obama_2008_0499410718

It’s been a busy, busy day at work. The SEMA show is going on in Vegas so lots of content. Right now there is a nice lull.. but I’m just waiting for the shit storm. Plus the election is happening. Arrggh… stress is not my friend

Didn’t take any pictures today of food cause I was busy and my mind was elsewhere. I enjoyed the usual oatmeal in the morning, some snacky poos in the afternoon, and a yummy salad from togos for lunch. Also munched on some halloween candy. boo.

Election Day was today. After working myself into a ball of nerves checking yahoo and CNN every 2 sec to get early results I went to Taco Tuesday with Mike, Andy, and Susan. It wasn’t soon after that we found out that Barack Obama would be the next president of the U.S. SO HAPPY! I am finally hopeful that our President will be able to make a change, to turn this country towards the light, towards hope, towards a better time. Like he said in his speech, there is a lot to do, it is a steep climb and everyone needs to band together to make this country something we know we are all capable of being, a UNITED NATION!

Even though I am so happy Obama won, I am soooo sad that prop 8 passed. How can anyone be behind something that is so discriminatory. The bigotry in the US and California astounds me. So very sad.

While watching all the election coverage I munched on some tacos and drank some beer. I was going to try to avoid this but I was so in the election spirit. I think I ended up eating two tacos, and had 3 beers. Not horrible.

Unfortunately when Susan and I got home I had some mint chip ice cream on a waffle. It was damn good, but I didn’t need to do that. I am learning that beer really lowers my inhibitions and makes me eat a TON! Not good.

Back in the swing of things tomorrow.
