last night i wanted to see what they were saying about today’s inauguration, and on CNN there was much chatter, but it seemed to be primarily focused on WHAT MICHELLE WILL WEAR TONIGHT for the balls.  blah blah blah, the lucky designer whose dress will be selected will go on to HUGE FAME AND UNLIMITED RICHES BEYOND THEIR WILDEST DREAMS.

this morning i turned on the TV and there are shots of people pouring onto the capitol mall, but once again it’s all WHAT WILL MICHELLE WEAR TONIGHT???  they even had an IMPORTANT CORRECTION, stating that the designer whoever somebody actually designed her EARRINGS, NOT HER NECKLACE!!!!!

and now, the obamas have left the church, and MICHELLE IS WEARING A THOM BROWNE NAVY COAT AND DRESS, AND A BELT FROM J. CREW! the fabric is INSPIRED BY A MEN’S SILK TIE!!!

and now they’re talking about the bidens getting into their car but nobody cares what jill biden is wearing.

also they didn’t mention what sasha and malia are wearing.

and of course they don’t mention the designer of obama’s suit.

so i hope you can stand it, the breathless anticipation, waiting til tonight…

no wait, now they’ve announced sasha and malia’s outfits…sasha is wearing kate spade, malia, j. crew.

THANK GOD NOW I CAN BE A LITTLE MORE CALM.

anyway, it’s going to be a long day, waiting on pins and needles to find out what michelle will wear.

i don’t actually know how the announcers know what dress michelle is wearing right now because her coat is unzipped but it  still hides her whole dress.  sasha (the younger daughter) has her coat open, dress in full display, but malia and obama’s dresses are still hidden.

i just looked up the daughters because i can never remember which is which, and found out this interesting fact – sasha’s actul name is natasha.  what a cool name.  you think of natasha and boris from bullwinkle, of course.

even though it’s chilly but not horrible there in D.C. this morning, it’s VERY horrible here in springfield, only 12 degrees but it feels like MINUS SEVEN and that’s how it’s going to be all day.  i am going to brave the cold to go to my workout class very soon.

and then it’s BACK TO THE EXCITING COVERAGE OF WHAT ON EARTH WILL MICHELLE WEAR TONIGHT!!!

ok then, stay warm, try to remain calm, take deep breaths,
