Just because I won't say it doesn't mean I won't think it.

"Dear Lord, thank You for this microwave bounty, even though we don't deserve it. I mean... our kids are uncontrollable hellions! Pardon my French... but they act like savages! Did You see them at the picnic? Oh, of course You did... You're everywhere, You're omnivorous. Oh Lord! Why did You spite me with this family?"

~Homer Simpson

I am very thankful this year for many things here are a few of them:

• all of my very loving, very supportive and great friends.
• change, even though I fight it tooth and nail
• time and it’s ability to pass although never at a rate I wish
• bubble bath
• sephora – god does love me
• Walden pond and all that it has taught me in short order
• the people of boston for teaching me how to stick up to my family ( no not stick that finger up….just STICK UP)
• oh right my family I almost forgot – for putting up with my bullshit blah blah
• this blog – always puts things in perspective
• men who still open doors
• a paycheck above the poverty line
• presidents only being able to serve 2 terms
• the red sox winning the world series – because it was damn exciting

I will thank myself if I make it through this holiday by either standing up to my family when they try to railroad me as they do every year, or trying to not secretly plan their untimely deaths. kidding kidding....it's just jokes.....jokes. :-)

Happy Thanksgiving Everybody

Foul, 10 yard penalty, repeat the down

I don't know what it was about today, but I haven't felt like having a melt down like this in a long time. It has been a rough rough day, and for no real other reason, other than the normal crap I put up with everyday just apparently bearing down on me alittle harder.

Some memorable notes from today:

Smiling on my way to work this morning because my car thermostat read 39 degrees, and thinking WOW that's warm. WHAT THE HELL IS WRONG WITH ME?!

Going up to the cafe to get some hot water for tea, and my co-worker trying to be funny by saying to me "so are you going to jump in the hot water." My response in all seriousness to this being "No we don't jump off bridges in Texas, you have us confused with California. In Texas we climb a high tower with a semi-automatic weapon and shoot 40 random people" Need Proof?

Realizing at 3pm today that I hadn't brushed my hair yet. Once again....WHAT THE HELL IS WRONG WITH ME?!

Saying "fuck it" to that damn aerobics class I've been going to the last 3 weeks that I STILL CAN'T GET THE MAMBO STEP DOWN IN!!

Trying very hard not to call every man I work with a boy....because well that's what they are acting like....boys!

Doing all I can right now not to buy a whaling spear to throw through my ceiling into my neighbor's apartment above me. STOP WALKING AROUND!

And so it begins

Frozen Mitsubishi 

I have survived my first snow on the east coast. It's early....oh joy.
