    Dear Diary,

    In an effort to establish myself as a First Lady that people can really relate to, I’m making it known that I’m trying to really get to know Washington D.C. and the people who live there. So I took eight of my staff members out for lunch at Five Guys Burgers and Fries in DuPont Circle, which I’ve heard is a popular the place. I must say, the food was delicious and I really enjoyed my cheeseburger, fries, and coke. But the best part was the good publicity I received for going to a regular restaurant. I must make sure to do this more often, and not just eat in the White House most of the time. Although that food is incredible. I’m not even going to begin to compare myself to Princess Diana because that woman was a godsend for so many millions of people. But like she was the People’s Princess, I want to try to become the People’s First Lady. Ok, the title sounds ridiculous. But that’s my goal. And so far, it seems that Washington loves me.

    Dear Diary,

    As a way to promote my platform as First Lady, I have decided to visit several federal agencies and meet with their staff. Perhaps one of the most interesting so far was my visit to the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). It started off quite well when an audience member called out, “We love you!” as I began speaking. Can’t get enough of that positive feedback! And perhaps it was in part because I’m an inspiring speaker and in part because I was preaching to the choir, but I had the people in that meeting with me the whole time. Granted, the purpose of my trip was to generate interest in Barack’s plans for supporting these agencies. But like I said, it was wonderful to be so well-received.

    Not to mention, visiting the various schools and talking to the kids was so fun! They’re so darling and I know it means a great deal to have such important figures coming in to talk to them.
