It has been a pretty darn good day for me. I have been sitting on my hands for a couple of weeks as I endured the behavior of our former President and his wife. Which one is running or are they a team. Anyway, I digress. I think their political tactics are reprehensible. I hope I don’t have to hold my nose and vote for her in November.
However, today, in South Carolina, perhaps something magical is on the move again. Obama won big. I mean, it was a rout. I couldn’t have been happier, unless the Clintons had come in third. Now that would have been seriously good. Tomorrow, Caroline Kennedy is endorsing Obama. That is good news. A big time New York Democratic woman is endorsing Obama.
This morning, Mr C and I ventured out in the freezing rain and went to the coliseum to check out the home show. It was pretty much a bust. So then we went to George Moreland to check out bathroom furnishings as we are planning a major master bathroom renovation. I discovered the Villeroy and Boch brand. Ooo la la. Here are a couple of examples of some cool vanities.
I wasted the afternoon doing some errands. I didn’t go for a walk because it has been very rainy. We enjoyed watching the SC returns come in. I made roast pork loin, roasted veggies and spinach salad for dinner. I worked on my sketch book for the design class, pasting my compositions in and labeling them. I was thrilled with the critique that Liz gave my work. I am trying very hard to be the teacher’s pet.
We watched a movie that Terry recommended. I think she loved it so much that she purchased the dvd. It is Once, a sort of musical set in Dublin. Mr C was a little leery, but we both loved it.
Then!!, I got to watch the ice skating nationals for women. This is another weird love of mine. There are some really wonderful young skaters.
So, it was all in all, a very satisfying Saturday. The only think that would have made it better would have been some M & M time.
P.S: did you know that Steph and Maria are doing a year of evenings at 3191? Click on the link in my sidebar to see their wonderful photos of their evenings.
As for Billary — I think Mitt Romney made a sage comment, “The idea of Bill Clinton back in the White House with nothing to do is something I can’t imagine.”
I am voting for Obama next Tuesday.
Mom and I got to go to the ladies figure skating final last year in Spokane – it was so much fun!
I think I actually pumped my fist when I heard the Obama news on Saturday. Billary’s behavior last week was like a giant commercial for why I DON’T want them as our nominee.
I too love skating. This past week I was in Vancouver, BC with my daughter and daughter-in-law, for the Canadian Nationals. This was our 12th annual event weekend we have even done the Worlds a few times. None of us have ever been skaters, butlove the event and being together. Enjoy your blog every morning with my tea, sorry I mostly lurk.

I totally with you about Bill, Hill and Obama! Isn’t SC awesome?!! Yup, those vanities are too cool. I want to reno our powder room while they are doing the kitchen (I mean, why not? the guys are already here, right?) and I am so madly in love with those vanities. I have been pricing one for the powder room. C say no way….we’ll see!
We saw Once a few weeks ago at the condo. I must admit, I feel asleep….but I think I was sick. C loved it.
xo
I love that the vanities are off the floor. Much easier to keep the floor cleaned.
Glad you liked Once. I have the music on my ipod now, in addition to owning the dvid! I am so happy Obama won in S.C. You are right–it was a satisfying Saturday!
I saw “Once” in the theater and was absolutely spellbound. I don’t think I moved during the entire movie! It is a fabulous film, highly recommended.
We watched Once on Friday night. I also loved it. And it really stuck with me, pondering it in my head and heart ever since.
I’m with you on the Clintons. I wish I could support her, but ugh.
