Nov 5 2008 - 9:00am Regardless of who you voted for, last night was a monumental night in American history. I wasn't feeling so well, so I watched history unfold at home with a beer, although in any other capacity I would've attended PartySugar and LibertySugar's election night bash.
How did you ring in the election?
At home with my family and fiancee sitting at the bay window table watching the news. Veggie chorizo con huevos y papas, fruit punch and left over candy corn went flying as we celebrated
I had a blinding headache but went with DH to a party. The party was at a local pizza place with really good food and excellent fresh-brewed iced tea, both of which helped the headache a
little, but the noise level didn't so my sweetheart and I went home.
With co-workers, eating "All- Kale the chief" (mashed potatoes and kale), "Joe the Plumber leeks" (leek casserole), "Barack-oli" (roasted garlic and broccoli), and copious amounts of alcohol
of course.
Went over to a co-worker's parents house to watch the returns with like-minded people. We had red-white-and-blue burgers, red-white-and-blue potato salad and ex-Bush's Baked Beans. We also
had all-American apple pie, which was carried into the TV room with sparklers for me (my birthday yesterday) after Obama was announced. It was WONDERFUL to be there, with those people. We had
the Daily Show on, and I am so happy I was watching Jon Stewart at 8:01 pm CA time, and then they called it. We were all speechless. After a few minutes we thought about stepping outside, but
realized we didn't have any noisemakers. Oops!
I was home sick, but I had hot cocoa and Baileys and my friend called me from the bar they were celebrating at. Still sad I wasn't there, but it was SUCH an exciting night
Sadly work has sent me to a super McCain town right now. On election night I went swimming at the local pool, came back to my temporary "home" and had chips, salsa, and beer during the
concession and acceptance speeches with some co-workers.
I will party my a$$ off on inauguration day though... that is also my 1st wedding anniversary. There will be lots of champagne!
