Ok, I’m going to be a total homer and start a thread celebrating the wonderfulness (made up word, whatever) that is our soon to be FIRST FEMALE MADAME VICE PRESIDENT.
I have been following this special woman’s career for a long time and I am so thrilled the world gets to know her now. She is an inspiration to many and a leader like we’ve never known. May she stay true to herself always, be protected fully, and change the course of history.

What's a homer and do I need to incorporate into my vocabulary?

What's a homer and do I need to incorporate into my vocabulary? It’s largely a sports reference but someone who unapologetically roots for the home team to the point of refusing to acknowledge their flaws. So when a sports commentator is biased to the home team.

Wonderfulness is a word in Portuguese!
Maravilha
Wonderfully is even more fun to say
Maravilhosamente

Since miawallace is here and will appreciate this, the San Francisco Giants announcers are the biggest homers in the business so I’m taking a page out of their book. Lol.

Every team needs a Vin Scully. Joking aside, during the playoffs I had to mute the commentators because they are all bias and root for AL teams, but especially hate on the Dodgers. During the Puig days their racists asses would show so much.

I’m not an intense fan though. I’m just very pro Dodgers. Not really anti teams - Except the astros. Lol. Anyways. Sorry for derailing.

This seems like a good place to share dd’s #LetterToKamala! Dd is almost 4 and expressed her excitement with lots of hearts.
Anyone else have kids write her letters?
Poof

I'm a mariners fan. We might be some of the biggest Homers there are. Our team is terrible but only we are allowed to acknowledge that

What's a homer and do I need to incorporate into my vocabulary? Omg I love you. You don’t sports ball, do you? I’m so excited for inauguration. My girls get to see a woman VP, and an Asian one at that. We’ve got blue plates, tablecloth, napkins etc from dollar tree and some fun games planned. Celebratory morgs for me and blue kool aid in fancy cups for the kids. CANNOT WAIT!

I thought this was cute. I love that we can actually see an actual relationship between a couple again.

It's seriously crazy how nice it'll be to just have...people in the WH. Flawed people, as we all are. But people who laugh and make jokes, who love their families, who are capable of feeling *joy*. Yes! Her showing the other senator how to make a grilled cheese or grilled tuna sandwich over the summer was the best. Then this too,

The CNN special is on “Kamala Harris making history”. Just started, if you aren’t watching.

He'll never live that down, especially now that Kamala is our MVP.

Yes! Her showing the other senator how to make a grilled cheese or grilled tuna sandwich over the summer was the best. Then this too, I love this and I love her (Mindy too!). She is so personable and radiates happiness. Also, I’ve never had any kind of Indian food. My mom is anti any kind of ethnic food, unless you count Olive Garden as Italian 😂 She’s super picky about food and doesn’t really use many seasonings outside of salt, pepper, garlic, and maybe Italian seasoning. XH was pretty much the same as far as what he was willing to try. DH is more of a foodie like me and both the boys like to try new things. My 14 yo DS wants to make or at least try some fufu and soup. He saw it on TikTok, so I told him maybe we could make it if we can’t find a place nearby to buy it and learn about the culture along with the food. I’m homeschooling them this year, so he said maybe once every couple of weeks or once a month, we could make a new food we’ve never tried before and learn about the country it comes from. I love that he’s a more adventurous eater. He’ll try just about anything!
