Happy New Year! Yes - I realize its a little bit late for that! I didn’t get a chance to make a new year’s post though.

So what have I been doing? Well, nothing exciting for New Year’s, I was still recovering from being sick. On the 20th of course I watched the inauguration. Not much to say about it though. It was great that there wasn’t any sort of problems, no arrests or anything like that. As much as it might have been cool to be there, I just don’t do cold weather like that, I would have been miserable.

So I stayed home and watched it on TV like most people.

I was hoping to be able to buy an Obama cake or something, but I didn’t see anything like that being sold near where I live. So I had to make my own. I’m not much of a cook so I wanted to avoid baking anything. Luckily Hostess, I think it was, makes little carrot cakes that are round with white icing on top. I bought some and decorated them with that decorating gel in a tube that you can buy:

It was hard to do the date one, that gel stuff doesn’t do small curves too well.

Blagojevich: I’m so glad that guy is gone! He’s sure got some issues doesn’t he? Near where my family lives some somebody had the following sign in their yard - I had to take a picture, great isn’t it?:

Hopefully we can put all the past behind us now, get working on solving the economic crisis and move forward with how we can make the planet a better place for all us to live on.
