Hope is in the Air--literally!

Hope is an airplane flying above your head with a sign flapping behind it that says, "VOTE OBAMA."

This was as we were walking to the car from Stephens Lake. I was wearing my "Another Mama for Obama" shirt and had just finished an interview with KBIA 91.3 FM at the playground (they approached me). I'm on a roll with the media lately. Last Monday, it was my Mario Manzini photo. On Saturday, I opened my new Mothering magazine and started reading a letter that sounded familiar and realized it was mine! I had written to the magazine telling them how much I loved them and how their magazine always gives me hope!

Now we will see how this interview turned out. I would much rather be the photographer than the one photographed, the interviewer not the interviewee! In high school and college, when I had to tape my speeches in speech class and my radio shows, I never watched or listened to them. I couldn't stand it! And I just am that sort of "foot in mouth" person that says or does something stupid. I shouldn't even share this, but I have learned to laugh at myself. When I worked at The Buckle clothing store in college, a TV station was doing a story and filmed me dressing a mannequin. Not even realizing it, I was dressing the mannequin in the same cream sweater and red skirt I was wearing. Boy did everybody at work get a kick out of that one!

But this post is not supposed to be about me. I'm not an egomaniac, I swear. It's about hope. I hope that airplane was a sign. I hope Obama wins. And if you haven't cried yet today, look at this lovely "Tears for Obama" slideshow on Huffington Post.

Now I'm going to go and blanch and freeze some spinach to distract myself. Doesn't that sound like fun?
