Blue!

I've been a bundle of nervous energy for days and days... I'm not handling this election thing terribly well this year. I was more collected in 2004, possibly because I didn't care for Kerry as much as I disliked Bush. But Matt and I are listening to OPB's coverage of the results. I'm dealing with some of my nerves by baking brownies and frantically refreshing electoral maps and news sites. If you told me four years ago that I would spend this evening eating spaghetti and sitting mostly quietly at my computer...

These brownies are celebratory and not drown-your-sorrows.

Day 4 Gratitude:
President Barack Hussein Obama

(I don't feel like this is real... We've been waiting for too long.)
