I am :) I even made dinner tonight (something which makes my mother happy but I rarely do it). And I was happy to wake up to the announcement of President Bush's nominee for Director of National Intelligence, though probably as surprised as quite a few other people seemed to be.
Count each 'happy' day as a blessing.
What did you make for dinner? I can give you a really easy pork chop recipe that my family just loves . . . then you can impress your mom even more.
I heard about the 'breaking news' this AM when I got back from my walk. They all said it was a big surprise too--that he was announcing it all of the sudden. They almost acted like they had hurt feelings because they didn't know further ahead--LOL!
He did have a press conference after, and there were surprisingly few stupid questions from the reporters.
