ode to obama

yes, i could.

*i could be done with SST referral paperwork...and i am. (julie's feelin me)

*i could be finally caught up with grading...and i am. (despite what all you non-educator people think, no...grading is NOT fun. in fact, it f*ing sucks)

*i could be looking forward to wednesday & the rest of the week...and i am. (thank you chucky)

*i could be in a much better "place" this thanksgiving than last...and i am. (reference last year's post...yikes. thanks to good 'ol time, love from family and friends and certain events)

*i could be missing taylor like crazy while she's in pennsylvania with her daddy for the thanksgiving holiday...and i am. (but i got the sweetest phone call from her yesterday. she opened with, "mama, i miss you. that's why i'm calling you because i am thinking of you." my daughter seriously ROCKS.)

*i could be loving my freshly groomed kai-doggie...and i am. (when i went to get her yesterday though, they brought her out and my mouth dropped open. upon seeing my beloved girlfriend, i thought, "oh no they DID-INT!!!" but yes...yes, they DID. they put a *blasted* christmas-looking bow on her collar...my poor kai. no longer sophisticated, but subjected to looking foo-foo. she ripped that thing off in the yard as soon as we got home...no joke.)

*i could be *still* laughing at the fact that kai put down the back window in the honda all by herself so she could do the dog thing & stick her head out to catch the wind...and i am. (i heard the window going down, looked back and saw her paw on the button! immediately called stac to tell him that kai "pulled a marley", then got into a conversation about him, and i quote, "going to the store to buy stuff" and giving advice on turkeys. can i just say that i love my bro?!)

*i could be stoked that OSU won their game against Arizona last night...and i am. (one more game...civil war....and if we win? ROSE BOWL, baby!)

*i could be procastinating in cleaning the house...and i am. tee hee! better get to it.

i love you peeps!!!
