Whew! What a week it has been. I've been wrapping up my back-tack package, such yummy and fun goodies! :) I've been finishing my November classes, my last one is today at 2pm. And I get to do a fun night out with my my lovely friend Theresa for the Night before Thanksgiving! I can't wait!
I read a great blog by BStewart and he had a great quote for today:
"We must destroy the myths once and for all, shatter them. We must continue to speak out and most importantly every gay person must come out. As difficult as it is, you must tell your immediate family, you must tell your relatives, you must tell your friends, if indeed they are your friends, you must tell your neighbors, you must tell the people you work with, you must tell the people in the stores you shop in, and once they realize that we are indeed their children and that we are indeed everywhere, every myth, every lie, every innuendo will be destroyed once and for all. And once you do you will feel so much better. — Harvey Milk"
To all my friends and family who are gay, thanks for coming out. It means the world to me to have been able to share in your lives and to love you for who you are. LOVE to you all!
And now on to some thanks!!!
1) Thank you for blogs! I know it might seems silly but I am really thankful for all the insightful, passionate, personal stories that I read everyday. And I'm even thankful for LOLcats! If you can't think, laugh and love everyday then what is life for?
2)I am thankful for SLEEP! Every Saturday morning my husband makes sure to get up with our gal so that I can sleep in and I don't know if he knows how much I appreciate it. :)
3) I am thankful for Thanksgiving!! This is my favorite holiday and my favorite time of year and I am glad for all the wonderful things that I have to be thankful for.

son of thanks

ugh...
We are feeling the blahs over here. Daddy has bronchitis, I have a hideous fever blister and our daughter is slightly overtired and cranky. I am looking for some sort of magic door that I can use to slide out of here and into a lovely hotel where a nice soft bed and room service await me. Anyone? When will teleportation be a reality??? I don't car about my flying car just make it so I can magically appear anywhere in 5 seconds. *sigh
See what happens when I'm thankful for health?? ;)
Today's thanks X 2 :
I am thankful for warm covers and soft beds. Even if they are invaded by small people and animals from time to time.
I am so thankful for all the military families who sacrifice so much for all of us. I hope that in the future they may be not stretched so thin and they have all the support of our countries resources when they come home. Thank you.

whoops!
I can't believe I have let this much time pass between posts! I have been busy with a sick husband and a kid that only wants to be with Daddy. Poor guys! I am working away on my back-tack contribution. I want to get it mailed off to make sure it arrives by the first week or so of December. I had a moment of panic the other day and somehow thought that I had missed the deadline! whew!
So my thanks are these:
1)I am so thankful that we are in good financial health. We could not have done things better in the last two years than if we had KNOWN the economy was going south. Thank goodness.
2)I am grateful for warm mugs of tea on cold mornings. And it is finally cold here! yay!
3)I am thankful for my teeny house because it makes me very mindful of what I bring in since I don't have space for much. Usually things in our house are things we love because of this.
4)I am thankful for the gift of relative good health. The beginning of this post notwithstanding I am happy that we are able to fight off most illnesses with the only real consequence being a missed day at work or two.
We are truly blessed! Have a great morning!

Post election buzz and more thanks!
What an amazing couple of days it has been. I am so happy and sad. I am hoping that there are more changes to come and that all people can truly be equal. I am excited to do more and be a better person.
My thanks for today (and yesterday!):
1. I am so thankful that I live in the same town as my mom. I could not be the best mom, wife, friend, person that I am without her. She is really a gift and I hope I tell her that enough. (hmmm...I think some flowers are in order!!)
2. I have the BEST husband. Seriously. He's just an amazing person and it's been a pleasure to be on this journey with him. Seeing him with our daughter and knowing what a fantastic dad he is has made me fall in love with him all over again. I am so thankful for him!
