1. Never had so many tears, for so long, in my life.

Mostly tears of joy and relief and a few bittersweet in there, too.

Also can't stop listening to will.i.am's vid/song, Yes We Can:

I was so moved that I started a thread about it - one of many, as it turns out, lol:

4. i was just NOW getting a chance to look at you tube videos from tuesday night

and I'm crying and crying...tears of joy.

I was working on election day as an alt election judge, and I did not get home until 8:30 central.
I came home, we screamed and cried as each state was called...and when Oblerman announced on MSNBC that he had won California, my husband picked me up off the floor where I had dropped in tears, spun me around :)

I am back in college had to get to class early on Wednesday morning and I started a new job Wednesday night.

It's just now sinking in...and I am more overwhelmed that I was on Tuesday night.

The first thing I heard this morning when the clock radio came on...."President elect Obama will be....." Wow....it's happening. It's really happening.

The nightmare is over!

[SallyMander]

11. Good for you for being an election judge!!!

:yourock:

I had my major breakdown on Tuesday night when they called Ohio... i have been here 5 years now, worked my butt off in '04 and have never felt so heartbroken. Once they called Ohio i thought... we've GOT this! And the waterworks began. :cry: :hug:

Also congrats on the new job! :hug:

Don't you just want to keep saying over and over "President-elect Obama"... what a beautiful phrase!!! :7

5. will.i.am

I know -- certain things just set me off. I see that will.i.am has a new song celebrating the election of Obama. That got me going and I can't WAIT to see /hear it!

[SallyMander]

12. Oh, i didn't know he had a new song coming!

That is something to look forward to. :D

18. Damn it Sally, stop it!

You post this sort of thing and I'm going to be a mess, too!

19. She had the best seat of all for the acceptance speech

I've never felt like I knew a President's family as well as I feel like I know Barack's. How fortunate we all are.
