Happiness Is…

Published by plabella at 5:07 pm under 1 Edit This

Is it my wacky imagination, or is everything just better since the election? Since I blame all bad things on George Bush, I’m fully expecting myself to blame all good things on Barack Obama. Here are some other good things that have happened in the past few days since the O-Man has been elected:

1. Despite not having watered my front lawn in about 4 days, my grass seems to have gotten greener.

2. My right-wing-conservative-christian neighbor, pulled his trash cans in immediately after they were emptied on trash day (instead of waiting 3 days as he usually does).

3. My little dog actually pooped on his pee-pee pad, instead off to the side of it.

4.  Despite my pasta, beer and Halloween candy dinner last night, I was down 3 pounds this morning.

5. The skater kid who lives next door, put his ramp in front of his driveway, instead of in front of mine.

6. On my way to work this morning, I drove about 7 miles in the carpool lane without getting caught (whats more, I didn’t even feel bad about it).

7. Susan Lucci got kicked off of Dancing With The Stars (and she even seemed relieved).

And just some general observations - The air seems fresher; my teeth look whiter; my pants fit better; my car runs smoother; my kid’s grades are higher; my complexion is clearer; and my heart feels bigger. Thank You President Obama!

    Yes. It’s your imagination. But that’s just fine. There’s nothing wrong with waking up and having a renewed sense of pride in your country and hope for the future.
