Happy Thanksgiving....

It's Thanksgiving today. I thought I would list some of what I am thankful for - - I am thankful for the usual stuff, my awesome husband, my wonderful kids and their spouses, my great stepdaughters, my sweetheart grandkids, my lovely mother, my outstanding siblings, my sweet BFF and the rest of my friends. But, here is a list of other things I am thankful for:

I am thankful for Diet Coke. It's my life's blood. It's what I drink and it runs through my veins. In second place is a BIG glass of iced tea!

I am thankful for reality television. Most of it is mindles and crazy, but, it's something I enjoy. I love to watch Amazing Race, Biggest Loser, So Ya Think Ya Can Dance, Project Runway. Those four are my favorites.

I am thankful for my couch. The reason I am thankful for my couch is listed above.

I am thankful for having a job, not just a job but a career I love. Though, I get frustrated at times, I truly love what I do. Not only that, I am so thankful to have a roof over my head, food in my belly, heat and lights, and an extremely comfortable life compared to what others have to face.

I am thankful for Facebook. It really can be a look into the souls of those "friends".

I am thankful for my car. I am really thankful for it this time of year and it's butt warming heated seats.

I am thankful for my hobby of sweepstakes. I've had an awesome year.

I am thankful for the A-line haircut. I think it's my favorite.

I am thankful for decent plumbing, aka toilets. Realized this today at a public bathroom. In Mexico, I had to pay 25 cents for about four squares of toilet paper, they had a guy sitting outside the restroom doling it out and accepting quarters, plus when you got in there, they have no seat. In Costa Rica, they tell you and post to not flush the toilet paper, so it really stinks because of all the soiled toilet paper in the garbage.

I am going to be thankful for HCG again come the New Year. These holidays are not doing my waist line any favors!! Got lots of pounds to lose. I am hoping my uniform pants become comfortable again!

I am especially thankful for this blog. For the reason, see previous post "Catharsis".

Happy Birthday Me!!

I turned 49 a year ago tomorrow.  I was all right with that.  I didn't really care.  But, about a couple of months after that, I realized that in less than a year I would be 50.  When my daughter turned 30, it really was a horrible feeling.  How could I have a 30-year-old daughter??  I am not old enough to have a 30-year-old daughter.  I also had to deal with my baby boy getting married last year - which made me feel like I really was getting older. I think it was after Crystal's birthday that I devised a plan.  I was going to take a couple of days off, I was going to get a hotel room - a hotel with a pool - and I was just going to hide out and ride it out.  I had it all figured out. Well, I decided that my kids might be a bit upset with me that I did this.  So, I went back to Plan B - I would do my usual and plan a "kids" birthday for me so that the entire family, including Zach and Chelsea, could have a good time.  I thought of going to Planet Play and setti

The Haunting

It's been a weird few days. I don't know what set me off. But, I've been thinking about Ted a lot. Mostly, I've been thinking about the night he died. And everything that happened that night. One of the girls I worked with lost her husband suddenly a couple of days ago. I'm not sure if that's what set me off - no, I'm pretty sure it is. So I've been going through old blog posts about our trips together. Looking at memories of our times together. We just had fun together and we just loved each other. Anyway, I've been reliving the night he died. Thinking about it pretty consistently. And the things that happened are truly haunting me. Like, how did he get where he was?? He and I had been sitting together and had literally just had an interaction. The interaction was, please sit back, you're blocking my view of the movie. And it was all done in hand gestures. But it was just so Ted. Completely and totally so Ted. Not even a few

Adios, Au Revoir, Goodbye....

So, tonight is my last night on the graveyard shift. It's been fun the days I've worked. I have to say, I really enjoy these up-all-nighters immensely. They are on the complete opposite spectrum of the "normal" people. Here are some final notes on my time here: Marla, Corey, Cheryl, Betsy, Nicole, Doug, Cortney, Angie, Natalie, Nathan, Amber, Jessica, Cliff, Leslie: STOP BEING SO DANG QUIET!!! I am not used to hearing NOTHING!!! I am used to people calling me constantly, I am used to having things to do, I am used to not sitting around and doing nothing!!! I have done nothing for an entire month - and my BUTT HURTS!!! My butt hurts from sitting in this chair and staring at the computer for TWELVE HOURS CONSTANTLY!! However, on the up side - I have completely loved being with you this month!! Watching Nicole's face in lineup when Diane is there is priceless. Nathan's litte quips and comments are hilarious. Cortney and his "touche" comment
