Happy Birthday Brian with an I

Happy Birthday Brian! I hear you are out galavanting around California for your special day with your girrrrrl friend. Good for you. Have a great day and say Hi to Arnold for me. I actually met Arnold back in 1977. Do you think he will remember me?

Happy Thanksgiving!!!!

I have many things to be thankful for. My two number one's are my family and the health of my family. Everything else is just gravy. I do however have an issue with the Turkeys. They are whiners. You always hear about how terrible it is for the turkeys on Thanksgiving day. The president even pardons two of them every year. What about the chickens??? They get eaten on a daily basis. You turkeys need to suck it up for one day and be thankful that you are too much of a hassle to cook more than once a year. Have a Happy Turkey day and wear elastic band pants.

Good Tidings of the Season

I got yelled at by Sarah for not blogging for awhile. Like she can talk. She hasn't done anything for over 2 months. Apparently all of the "hip" people are on face book. Oh well, I have never been one to follow the crowd so I'm just doing my little thing here on google. I have been crazy busy getting ready for Christmas. We are having our get-to-gether on the 13th of December so I have less time to prepare. Funny thing is...I'm really excited about it. I'm usually a big Scrooge and all stressed out. I have yet to bring forth any grinchyness this holiday season so far. I'm a little stressed because I want to be able to get everything I want done, but it's a good kind of stress. Bryan accused me of doubling up on my zoloft. He figures by Christmas I will probably OD. I swear that my mood has nothing to do with over medicating. I haven't even had a glass of wine in 2 weeks. I'm filled with the joy of the season. (I'm filled with something alright). I'm even thinking about getting a real tree. What could be the cause of my change of heart??? Could be because there will be 6 kids running around all excited. It could be that all of our kids will be here. Maybe it's because we all had such a good time at Joe birthday that I'm ready to do it again. It could be the excitement of new relationships or the renewing of old relationships. What I really think it is, is I rented a little kid banquet table and chairs and I can't wait to see all of the kids sitting around it. I still get bummed out about all the commercialism and the fact that even when people have no money they feel they have to go out and buy Christmas presents. I guess that's the way its always been and always will be, so who am I to fight tradition. Merry Christmas Everyone and you too tiny Steve. Oh I guess Happy Thanksgiving first.
