change is coming
let me just start out by saying GO OBAMA! whoo hooo, what an amazing election and an amazing time for our country... i made it to the polls after work and waited for over an hour - no one was complaining in line and i found that to be pretty awesome (someone said the location never had a down-time during the day)... i stayed up as long as i could last night and watched mccain give his concession speech but fell asleep by the time obama came on... i was just too tired and couldn't keep my eyes open but it was SO nice to wake-up to such great news! :)
the annual report is officially done - i went to the press inspection this morning and as long as they don't screw something up in binding, i'm done done DONE with that project... i love going to see printers because i find the whole process so fascinating - most have modern presses but some still use the old ones... to see a piece of machinery (i.e. a heidelberg) that sometimes can be over 100 years old is just amazing to me... since i had to wait around in between sheet inspections, i took advantage of their customer lounge, checked email, and watched some talking head shows... the rep bought me lunch and then i was able to call it a day around 1:00 - how nice of my boss to say i could have the rest of the day off... as many hours as i put in - i should have more than that but our company doesn't believe in flex time... such is life...
monday night was the football game and even though it was a lot of fun, the redskins still lost (cus they played like ass!) and eric was all happy-go-lucky... it was quite funny seeing us since he had a steelers jersey and i had a redskins jersey but then again - we saw a lot of split couples throughout the night... it took us almost 2 hours to get there but getting home was easy, thank god - still made for a long tuesday since i didn't get much sleep... anyway, here are some pictures so enjoy! :)
can you tell this was before the game (meaning i looked happy)...
there's nothing quite like being in a stadium with over 90k screaming people...
not sure why i'm smiling but perhaps i thought we'd still win... :(

Funny, I don't get that same feeling at FedEx Field. I'm a medic with PG and worked the games for OT. Being on the outside or even the club level for that matter is very much not like being a fan on the inside. Why we couldn't meet nice people like you, instead of the pukers and fighters... I don't know what I would do if I actually got to be a fan there one day :)
New reader to your blog. Found you by doing weightwatchers search and see that ironically we're both in MD.
I am your husband (GO BIG BEN!!!)
but Im also an Obamamamma.
so Im split.
:)
Glad your killer project is done and you've survived. Hopefully things will be more fun/less stressful for a while. :)
I would definately say perfect timing for the project ending.
Right before the holidays and even more reason to be heading to the gym!
Congrats on finishing your project and the game looked like good times aside form the final score. I have ZERO room to talk since I am a Bengal's fan lol
Phew I'm done too. Looks like a fun time at the game.
Ugh, annual reports...graphs and graphs and graphs, huh? But press checks are fun!
So jealous that you got to go to a game! I wanted to see the Giants at Cowboys but I have to work that Sunday. Lame! I would go see the Texans, but I'll only be disappointed on top of being broke.
