BUT
When I went upstairs to have dinner with Nice tonight, she showed me a cake she had made -- it says OBAMA and has a dove of peace (and the symbol for VIVA) on it. TOO ADORABLE.
Also, she told me I couldn't help with the dishes because it was Obama Day, and then proceeded to sing Obama Day songs, which meant she would sing OBAMA DAY in a certain way and then go "that was the classical version. The last one was the pop version." I heard opera, drinking song, Catholic school girls, Brownies, Christmas song ("I'm dreaming of a white Obama"...which we immediately decided was not the best choice hahaha), college fight song, jazz, and I can't even remember. Nice is too hilarious, and I think it is so interesting to see how the rest of the world viewed the election.
She told me to send the picture to my grandma who loves Obama, so here are the pics!
(I did the dishes anyway. No worries, Ma)

Nice is the best! Take a look at the Chicago Tribune, especially http://www.chicagotribune.com/news/local/chi-obama-ripple-effect-pg,0,55520.photogallery
The second picture, of the skyline and Grant Park, is gorgeous. I am so proud of Chicago and America!! I imagine it is odd to be the center of attention in another country while all this is happening here.
