Kitchen Update

Inauguration Day Begins

Heather — Tue, 20 Jan 2009 07:49:00 -0800

Well, it just began for me since I'm not great at getting out of bed in the morning (especially when I spent most of the night on YouTube reviewing Obama speeches and Bush ridiculousness).

My friend, Leon, who lives in Iowa, sent me a link to this comic very early this morning. More »
