History was made.
I cried when I heard Charlie Gibson say "we are calling it, Obama has won." Thank you America for not letting something as stupid as the pigment of one's skin matter, thank you for a vote for hope.
In honor of our first African-American President, I cut my first roses of the season.

It's not pigment, it is policy.
And he has been handed a whole lotta crap to deal with. I wish him the best of luck.
I am still dancing with joy!
I keep having to pinch myself to make sure I'm not dreaming.
Today at TJMaxx, I got into an Obama-joy conversation with a couple of African-American ladies who wanted to show me a prayer vidoe on one of their cell phones.
And have you seen the reaction from around the world? It's like they're wiling to completely wipe the slate clean - forgive us for all the Bush years and start fresh. It's incredible....
BTW - your roses are beautiful.
Yes, all day long at work, I scanned as many websites as I could and cried all over again as I viewed the pictures of the rejoicing here and around the world.
What an amazing time!
It really is exciting, isn't it?? It feels like the country is re-energized for the first time in many, many years. Like coming out of the fog.
I think most of our old allies are as happy as we are to see Bush get the hell outta there and welcome Obama and the ties he can hopefully mend.
