Ok so yay Obama. Really thought there's nothing I can say that everyone hasn't already said. It was moving and exciting and today I love America. So one last thing: For me personally the single most awe inspiring thing about this election is that no matter how people felt or who they voted for they actually cared about the future of our country.

I went to an election party and as soon as my friend posts pictures I'll steal them from Flicker and post them here.

Here's to the fact that (e:lilho) went her first day with out a dressing on her MERSA wound.

Everyone should send her well wishes!

I voted this morning. I haven't felt so proud of our country in a very long time. The line was around the block of people waiting to vote. No matter who you vote for I think it's so important to participate in the voting process.

I'm going to be glued to NPR all day (much to my cubemate's dismay). I actually have a knot in my stomach.

This may be a xanax kinda day. Ok not really, but I am really excited to watch Wolf on tv tonight with the returns!!

I'm feeling lazy today so I'll give a update of my trip via bullet points:

• Ate at Pano's. It was tasty, just as I had anticipated it would be.

• Dressed up as Joan from Mad Men. The costume went as well as could be expected considering I got ready at a dudes house. They just never have all the things that you need like a girl does.

• The party: Totally fun. It was nice seeing people I haven't see in a while, although I admit it wasn't as fun as it would have been if (e:lilho) was there. Went to bed at 5am.

• The after-party: Amazingly we were all up before 10am and cleaning. Paul cleaned. He asked me for an internet retraction of me calling him lazy. This is it.

• Saturday night: More good times and late night chorizo cooking and carrot taste testing. Ok, so I didn't cook so much as give my input as to how it should be done (note: no one followed my directions).

• Sunday: More hanging out followed by a lamb going away dinner made by Paul. Super tasty. Then we got a special guest appearance by Tony and Megan and their ultra adorable, cute, beautiful kids. OMG I wanted to just squeeze both of them. Neither one of them were down for it (not that I blame them- I looked a bit rough around the edges after 3 days of boozing it up).

• Nerd dater: Tony called me out as a nerd dater and then had various questions about it. Guilty as charged. Who doesn't love nerds though?

• Airport: Got there 35 minutes before my flight boarded. In true Buffalo airport fashion I had plenty of time to make my flight.

• Home sweet home: I took the subway home and it was quite pleasant. Rocked out with my Bose headphones and was home in an hour.

• Various thoughts: I hadn't been to Buff in a year. I had no idea how much I missed it. I'm really glad I decided to go. There's something about going home that recenters you. Already I miss it :(

-Oh an the new user picture. That's all Paul. He thinks it looks like me bossing people around, which seems to be a "skill" of mine.

I've arrived at the brand spanking new JetBlue terminal 5. I'm just going to get right to it: It's effing sweet. Maybe I'm just impressed with shiny and new- but I think it's new design improved upon the old terminal by leaps and bounds (yes, this entry is going to be loaded with cliches). Everything is centrally located and easy to locate. And there's a Lacoste store- so yeah that pretty much sold me. Oh, and did I mention the spa where you can get a manicure?! I mean there was a spa in the old terminal, but this one is nicer.

I feel like I should also mention that the new terminal makes people take their shoes off. I'm not a fan of this. The person sitting beside me (who thinks I'm insane judging by the look he gave me as I was taking pictures of my manicure) has his shoes off and the couple across the aisle from me also has their shoes off (and they are barefoot-ew).

Ok, I'm going to go have a drink because as me and my friends have all admitted drinking in airport bars is fun (thank god they fessed up because I thought I was the only one who found joy in this activity).

Below I grace you with a picture of my pretty red nails:
