Have they extended the length of an hour?

This has seriously been the longest week.  Yesterday I was wondering if somehow the length of an hour had been officially extended.  Here is to hoping today will pass by a bit more quickly.  Here are your reasons to be happy for the 19th and 20th.  Brought to you by my day by day calendar of course!

January 19th:

• watching the days grow longer
• the ferry whistle
• a handwritten letter
• root vegetable soup
• a powerful speech
• sitting in a window seat -- i've ALWAYS preferred the aisle seat actually..
• hot coffee in your thermos
• electrical cords tucked away -- so true they are so annoying.
• a light backpack
• wood that's ready for the fireplace

January 20th:

• clear sidewalks
• a spinning prism wind chime
• owning something made of red silk
• the ability to memorize --i'd include the ability to forget as well.
• shims to straighten wobbly furniture --my definition of shim comes from 5th grade.
• the scent of orange blossoms
• a great opening line
• a new gallery exhibit
• Grandma's meatloaf
• cinnamon tea

My reason for being happy today doesn't come from a calendar.  It comes from a DUKE WIN over NC State last night!  Yay!  That and I'm happy tomorrow is Friday. :)
