Wasn't that the most exciting election ever? I am amazed at how this election changed my perspective. Wasn't it awesome to see so many people participate in the vote regardless of their choice.
I, however, have other election news. Monday morning, Aunt Debbi was elected president of the KCMG Association. Of course, they do not call me Aunt Debbi. Now understand, this is not really a big deal. Nobody else wanted the job. Still, I think it will be fun to lead it for a year. I hope I don't mess it up.

You won't mess it up. As we saw yesterday, all things are possible. It was a wonderful sight to see people unite. The whole world seems much comforted by this outcome. I would like to see other countries begin to like us again!

Brenda, I am going to do my best. Hopefully, our country has turned a corner and things will straighten out.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations! Actually, I can't figure out why anyone wants the job of President, either. Though I'm glad Obama did!
ReplyDelete--Kate
Congratulations Debbie :)
ReplyDeleteYou go President Debbi! Are you going to blog as President Debbi now, or can we still call you Aunt Debbi? I know you will be a good one!
ReplyDeleteThanks Kate and VP.
ReplyDeleteNola, hahahaha president debbi. I am so not presidential. I think we will stick with Aunt Debbi or maybe P-DEB.
Debbie .. You will always be AUNT Debbie to me girl ! Congratulations and so what if nobody else wanted the job .. you are going to be awesome for that term .. go get 'um Debbie : )
ReplyDeleteI think the election was a pivotal moment for you Americans .. it actually PROVED what you guys stand for theoretically .. "equality and possibilities of dreams being real". I think it was absolutely wonderful ! from a Canuck up north : )
Thanks Joy. It is a pretty amazing time for our country. We have come a long way.
ReplyDeleteCongrats on your win..well someone wanted..you! I'm sure you will do just fine Ms Debbie. As for our election...oh happy day...I actually felt hope today..though it was somber at work...I'm not surrounded by those who share my joy! It didn't curtail my excitement though...WOOOHOOO!
ReplyDeleteCongrats Deb! Sometimes you got to step up to the plate when no one else will. We could just call you Madam Prez! :)
ReplyDeleteRhonda, Most of my family, voted for McCain. I got a call from my mom. She wanted to let me know that "my guy" might be on Oprah. I had to laugh.
ReplyDeleteRacquel, Our current treasurer is already up to that. He thinks it's funnny.
Whoo-hoo! Congratulations to you! You will do a fantastic job. Wish I could do the master gardener program--maybe when I retire!
ReplyDeleteThanks linda, a lot of our master gardeners are retired. I am only one of two who are trying to do this and raise my family at the same time. It adds to the zoo.
ReplyDeleteCongrats - that will be big fun for you. Don't let the fame go to your head!!!
ReplyDeleteThanks Diana, I will try really hard not to abuse my power. Seriously though, the others will keep me in line.
ReplyDeleteHa!! Congratulations Debbi! Uh, I meant, Madame President. I'm a big believer in titles---I keep trying to get everyone to call me "Supreme Lord and Ruler of the Universe," or as a fallback, "Arbiter of Taste," so far without success. But I keep hoping. I know you and Obama won't let us down!
ReplyDeleteHi OFB, thanks. Good luck with getting your title. Somehow, I don't think silence is going to go along with it. I hope you are right about our new president elect. I am more hopeful now than I have been in years.
