Highlights of the Day

A few noteworthy events for Saturday:

1. I attended the opening of the St. Peters Obama Campaign office this morning. The turnout was incredible. The number I heard was 125 people, and that's on a Saturday morning. I was happy to be in a room full of Democrats. I've lived in St. Peters for 24 of the 32 years of my life and the Republicans have ruled as long as I realized the difference between the two parties. So I was excited to see the great turnout this morning and to feel the tremendous amount of positive energy. And, I will tell you right now that, at least in St. Peters, people of every age support Barack Obama. There were only a few young people, but the average age was about 50. One of the speakers mentioned that we should be proud to stand up and support Barack Obama. We don't have to hide in the shadows anymore, because we are not alone in this fight.

2. After three years of living in my condo, my dad finally installed the ceiling fan in the guest bedroom. My sister and her family are visiting in two weeks and it gets a bit stuffy in that room. There wasn't too much yelling, which is a bonus, especially since my mom acts as the foreman on the job. =)

3. The gals and I celebrated Laura's birthday a few days early. Laura is working on the Obama campaign and she really needed the break to just hang with friends. The seven of us had a great time. I'll post our photo booth picture tomorrow.
