Inauguration, BD

1. Grateful to God and all that helps me get through a day
2. Grateful for wonderful inauguration and birthday
3. Grateful for lots to think about including -

- Inauguration and birthday (was at Champps for inauguration/birthday lunch) - saw it on a huge screen, liked the cheer that went up after the swearing in, thought Obama's speech was what I expected, loved Aretha Franklin, thought Lowery's words were surprisingly wonderful, what a day! More comments to come. Barbie really spoiled me by taking me out to lunch.

- More birthday (had most wonderful dinner on earth with salad and blue cheese, fresh asparagus with lemon, rosemary beans and rice, chocolate mousse). So much to think about! Again, Barbie really spoiled me. What a wonderful cook and day she organized for me. How can I thank her and Sacha enough.

- Let It Rot - by Stu Campbell - review to come

- Sacagewea coins worth over $30,000 - from Cherrios boxes

- Dagoba chocolate

- Pot rack with light, countertops, video transfer, Frost-Nixon, Botanical Gardens, composting and Martha Stewart videos from the library

NY visit,

1. Grateful to God and all that gets me through a day
2. Grateful that visit to NY was fun, starting birthday fun
3. Grateful that airport was reopened after incident on the Hudson River
But even more importantly grateful that everyone survived

An airplane took off from Laguardia the same day of my flight and landed in the Hudson River. No one died, thank God. It was a very close call it seems from the reports and an amazing rescue. An investigation should reveal the cause of the accident. Speculation is that birds were pulled into an engine, causing the airplane to malfunction.

Subject: SAVE THE DATE!! PFYM Book Party!
Thursday, April 2, from 7 to 10pm
Slipper Room
Orchard and Stanton streets in Manhattan

Hi! Remember a few months ago when we told you there was going to be a book based on Postcards From Your Momma and your mom's email had been selected for the book, and we'd be inviting you to our book party? Well, it's still a couple months away, but we figured some of you might want to start making travel arrangements, so consider this the Official Save the Date for the Postcards From Yo Momma book party email.

We'll send out a "real" invitation in a couple months. In the meantime, just note that the party is going to be Thursday, April 2, from 7 to 10pm at the Slipper Room, a lounge/bar at Orchard and Stanton streets in Manhattan. You and your mom are both invited, so please pass this along to her.

Btw, if you want to see what the book will look like and/or pre-order it, you can buy it on Amazon. (Also, you can tell your mom that a famous comedian thinks she's funny: This quote from the awesome comedian Margaret Cho is going to be on the book jacket: "MY MOM SENDS ME EMAILS IN ALL CAPS SO IT ALWAYS SEEMS LIKE SHE IS YELLING. SO IN HER STYLE I WILL SAY, I LOVE THIS BOOK!")

Gratitude, NY

1. Grateful to God and all that gets me through a day.
2. Hopeful that trip to NYC happens on Jan. 16.

Gratitude, vacation

1. Grateful to God and all that gets me through a day
2. Grateful for 120 hours of vacation
