Obama is now our president!

I got goose bumps watching the inauguration of Obama as our president today! didn't you??! Especially looking at the throngs of people braving the cold to get a glimpse of history!



Yeh is all I can say! I was a bit disappointed tho by a couple of things like Aretha Franklin for one. She sounded awful and couldn't seem to hit the high notes. Obama's speech was a bit flat to me also. I also didn't like what Michelle was wearing. It looked dowdy,sorry! And the poem..well she aint no Maya Angelou is she?!




(totally unrelated but, I love and feed the birds as I live near a park so..)this is what greeted me this morning! Yes it is a piliated woodpecker. isn't he lovely?!??

more Ruby

Remember plus size model Emme?! Yeh she beat cancer and now has a clothing line for large women. She still looks good too! you go girl!!

Happy New Year,belatedly you all!

Go Obama! Don't forget to catch the inauguration folks!




Yeh Ruby was as much as 700 lbs at one time although the show shows her from 500 lbs. on..She is funny and pretty despite the weight and you can't help but root for her! Link on front page of blog for more on ruby. show is on Hiatus and due back in July folks! Ruby has a blog and is doing fine. She snds her regards to all her fans.

see her and friends, Georgia, jeff here.

Plane goes down in the Hudson River! DAmn! This was such a gift for NY after 9-11 as it could have been so much worse! I think something should be done in the future to prevent birds from getting in the engine. One could put a wire trap over the engine I think..The poor thangs!
