is it tomorrow yet???!

nope! but in one snap of-a-unisom it will be... Melissa says her computer has some fancy countdown clock online to the inauguration but of course it doesn't work for me on my pesky computer and it just says one soul destroying day to go. i need to know when it is!!! i want how many hours, minutes, seconds and milliseconds we are to being in blissful yippy skippy remission!!!

i havent shared a picture, blogged or even sat at my computer for 7 entire days. i lay in bed for an entire week and watched Split Ends nonstop. i did ok for the first 415 weeks of Bush. then i had to hibernate in my cloud bed with seven down pillows and ingest billions of milligrams of gummivites to try to stay sane. while Tom Cruise swears by vitamins for such manic moments, i am not sure it worked for the original Katie . she was swiftly replaced with a Jackie O inspired robotic doll named "Kate" who seems to be functioning well for now :) anyway i just wasn't feeling the love on week 416. that Bush has been a major thorn in my side since Sam was just 9 weeks old and now.... now one half unisom later... poof, he's GONE ;)

yes - fast forward to AFTER the inauguration... though who on earth decided to air it at 9am? who is home watching TV at 9am??? i sincerely hate living on PST and want to move to EST or even cooler back to GMT. that woman with the contrived laugh was so right, you don't know what you've got til it's gone! how come London gets the very best standard time when the inauguration is on at tea time?? and in New York they get to watch it over lunch?! i hate California (even though Diane Feinstein is pretty cool:)
