Magic happened last night...

I had the awesome opportunity to be part of a very silly random night of theater, that reminded me why I love this art so much. There used to be a group of artists that got together and wrote, rehearsed, threw together a night of theater/music pretty much in a couple of days. This turned into an annual Adults Only Xmas Pageant. Well, its been a few years since they have done one and one of the crew decided to do it again and give the proceeds to MWC that is dark for a few months. Since it was the day before Valentine’s Day, it was centered around that. We got together a couple of times and threw around some ideas, then read some possible choices. We had an extremely energetic amazing director and the guy putting this together was nothing but eager and positive the whole time. The crew of actors are some of the much more seasoned actors of the OC Theater scene, and I was flattered to be among them. I was equally flattered when word got out about all that was involved and that made the buzz even greater and the comments going around like “Amazing cast!” “Best actors in OC” “What an talented group!”. Blushing, I realized I was one of them. We sort of had a rehearsal or two, but not really…then we all arrived early yesterday to get the thing together. The director arrived with the gaudiest of V-day décor and one of our writers/singers waltzed in with probably about 30-40 heart balloons. With the help of our faboo friends running the board and house the décor went up, a cue to cue was run, the musicians practiced and us actors were scurrying around trying to make costumes, props and hair all work together. Nerves and excitement were high. The house began to fill up, more rows were added – all the way up to the stage. Lets just say one couple got a very nice up close and personal view of my pasties. The musicians started the pre-show and the scurrying, excitement and energy blew up backstage. We all nailed our hilarious sketches, laughter filled the house. Our show probably ran 20 minutes longer due to the constant holding for uproarious laughter. We laughed our way through Fuck Family, my Palin monologue was a hit. The other bits were fantastic and funny and offensive and fun. The musicians were great and fun as well. The night ended with all of us at the curtains waiting for the final curtain call like ending. I looked around in the cramped room at all these talented people, drinking beers and wine, smiling and listening to one of our own playing guitar and singing to the heavens. I felt we were all one for just a minute, all happy, exhausted and ever so slightly moving to the music – and magic. That was the moment. This is why I love this. Especially this way, with these people. It was one of the funnest days of my life. We walked out onstage singing “All you need is Love” to cheers and applause. I couldn’t stop smiling. The evening ended on as good of a note when my bro and his wife, the roomie and a couple other actors landed at the Irish Pub across the way listening to an Irish Duo pretty much doing what I just finished. Silly, talented musicians (and adorable as all hell) singing to a mostly empty bar but you could tell they loved every moment. And earlier on this day, my prior blog explains how my day started.
February 13th, 2011 was a good day.

I love my Papa...

I know you all know this.
I know you all know I love this man so much it makes my heart hurt.
But I want to write a little blog about what happened today. Sunday's I'm on grandaughter duty and usually head over to my grandparents for a few hours to help them out since Sunday is the only day they dont have a care giver or ma there. Well mom relays to me last night, that Papa wanted me to pick up a dozen roses for gramma for Valentine's Day. He gets her roses every year, and since he cant get them himself now it has fallen into my hands. I choose to go to Albertson's because I REFUSE to hit a flower shop that is going to charge something equal to a mortgage payment for a shotty couple of flowers. I look at every single arrangement trying to find the best one. I of course probably take more time then I should have, but I wanted a pretty one. I finally settle on one set (Still a little irrirated at the price, but its less then a flower store) and make my purchase. I pick up Starbux for us all and head over. The front door is wide open, so I sneak around the back and put them down in a shady spot. I then come in the front with my usual hellos and slip the little card into Papa's hand telling him the flowers are outside. Gramma of course is wondering what he has and I shout out her to get her ass in the kitchen to help me out. She shuffles in mumbling that I dont need to be so bossy. (Nosey little butt). I stall her in there why I watch Papa struggle to fill write ont he little card. When gramma starts heading back in, I bee line for Pops who says he's done and wishes he could write better. I grab the card, tell gramma I forgot something in the car and run out to grab the bouqet. I look at the little card. All it says is "To My Love". Tears well up in my eyes. He loves her so much. I have to pause as I stare down at the little card with the shaky writing that says simply. "To My Love". I shake it off and prance in the door to gramma's beaming face. Papa is standing now, and she shuffles over to him saying this deserves a kiss. I go to the kitchen to add more water to the vase and not interrupt thier little moment. I hear the little lovey words and smooches behind me and smile. 96 years old and 92 years old and the love these two has for each other blows my mind every time. As I leave the house I break down crying. It's so hard to love someone so much. I hope everyone can.

Positive Injection Please...

I need it.
I'm feelin a bit low lately - not like I used to though!!! Lets just clarify that right now! Pretty much for the season of winter has always been a hard time for me, fighting through the cold crappy dry weather (yes for SoCal...) is a big part, but for some reason depression usually hits the hardest around this time. BUT! For the last...probably 3 years or so I havent had that problem. I was JUST talking with my roomie about that the other day, how glad I am I dont go through those really low points anymore. I believe growing and changing has stopped that but there are a few moments like now that I'm just feeling a little blue. So I'm going to whine a bit on this blog because I can.
I've slacked on the photo taking but there actually hasnt really been anything all that exciting going on anyway. I'm having a bit of a rough patch. I know being sick YES AGAIN!!!! is not helping. A little over a week ago, I got my yearly sinus infection. Unfortunatly I get these once a year it seems around this time. The left side of my face feels like mini knives are shooting through it, my left glad swells slightly and I get the awful ugly god forsaken fever blister on my lip. This is the only time in my life I become completely vain. I feel so ugly and embarrased (even though its not that bad, friends who know how much I want to crawl in a hole convince me its not that bad but still). I hate it. Then for some reason this time around - the fucking cold followed it up. Fri nite I started feeling blargh and bam - cold. Awesome. So here I type - sniffling and annoyed. I did actually to to my Dr. today - I had made a yearly appointment and happen to get sick beforehand. He's not too worried about the cold, doesnt know what to do with the sinus infection and thinks I'm peachy keen. I get bloodwork this week, but I'm probably fine. Except for the foot - I am to go to another Dr. to get that looked at and dealt with. Fuck. I'm not gonna lie...a lil freaked out about that.
I'm still in the show I am not enjoying, but only one more weekend left THANK GAWD. I didnt get cast in a show I really wantd to be in, I'm only a bitty part in this fundraiser I am really looking foward too so I'm fighting the acting inferiority complex and wonder if I've been wasting my life all these years. I've barely touched my camera and my notebook lies empty. Needless to say my creativity is not flowing right now and that is killing me. I'm lonley and confused with the boy scene as per usual and I did decide to go to Coachella which I'm excited about but did of course take a financial hit. Plus all thats going on in the world right now is ripping my heart apart.
So blah. There's the purge, a small portion of it because I dont even want to hear myself whine too much. Ugh. I do hate these phases, but this too shall pass right?
Lets some up some good stuff....A couple of people have noticed my working out paying off. I've gotten a couple of surprise compliments which makes me feel really good. (more please). A dear friend of mine is preggers with her 2nd...which weirdly I knew before she told me...then another good friend is preggers with her 1st...I had a dream about her being with kid before she told me...and did I mention I knew one of my co-workers was preggo months before she told me? She's calling me the baby whisperer. I surprised another dear friend for her bday dinner one nite - surrounded by ALOT of children and handled it quite well I might add. I caught up with a dude I love so much who I used to work at PSO with and we caught each other up on our new jobs, etc. A few dinners with other friends, catching up and celebrated my Papa's 96th birthday Fri nite. So its been a decent few weeks aside from fighting the depression.
So on ward and upward I hope. I know once I'm not sick and dont look like a diseased whore I'll perk up a bit. I'm thinking its ok I didnt get cast, because I'm trying to focus on me right now and look what No Exit did to me. I'm also trying to convice myself its ok to be single, because I'm FOCUSING ON ME. I never realized how friggin hard it is to focus on myself. I've got to throw myself into some new stuff, something I need/want. The problem is I just dont think I know what that is yet, but I need to take the time to find out.
I can get through this.
I can.

Starting 2011...

I'd like to try and take more photos to document my year happenins....yet a few of these my little sure shoter just didnt quite cut it - but you can kinda make out the photos! Looks like a new baby camera is needed in the near future. Too bad I cant fold up my fancy big love camera into my purse...but anywhoo....
I realized blogging my year end review - things were fuzzy during alot of the year, trying to remember, etc. I will be 35 next month...maybe old age forgetfullness is setting in! Doh!!! So I'm going to attempt to try to "recap" more often. I've noticed alot of peeps dont seem to blog as much anymore - but I'm gonna keep on truckin! I'm sure I have maybe just a handful of you folks that actually read these but thats cool with me. I love ya all for it!!
So - January so far....
Not too bad!
New Years Eve into day was fantastic. I had a small group of friends come over, and the night was full of laughter, great conversation and a wonderful time. There was about 10 or so of us and when 12 o'clock rolled around - we sort of paused to cheers and kiss and hug and pop poppers but then went right back into the multiple conversations going on. It was perfect. 2 of my favorite girls stayed the eve, and we got breakfast in our jammies that morning and watched the Rose Parade probably 3 times trying to catch this one particular float. Later that afternoon I picked up my bro/sis in law from LAX and heard all about thier fantastic trip to Ireland.
The next day T and I got wild hairs up our butts as we do and headed up to Pasadena to look at the floats up close and personal - it was raining and crowded but we had a blast. T held my umbrella everytime I whipped out my camera and we huddled together through the cold. The floats were beautiful and I have a new appreciation for how those things are put together.
The first week of Jan we hit Tower of Power. T joined and it was AMAZING. We ran into our old friend as well which was fantastic. As I sat there and listened to the brilliant-ness that is T.O.P. I thought to myself "Every f-ing music fan needs to watch this band to understand how talented they are!!!" I'm not kidding folks - if you can - check them out. They are seriously one of the best live performances you will ever see. Every single one of them. Uber-talented. We of course had a perfect night at the Coach House.
I've opened up my show No Exit last weekend. Sadly, its not a show I'm super excited about but it has come together somewhat. The best part about the whole experience is I've made a new friend in one of my castmates. New friends are always awesome! We run for 4 more weekends - 11pm on Friday's which might actually kill me and 5pm on Saturdays. Hopefully it will be well recieved.
Saturday night Ber and I attended a fundraiser where our friends band Just Plain Big was going to perform and had a great night. The other musicians were not so great, but when his band came out the place was jumpin and excited. They're a punk band our age and older. I loved it. The singer was a ball of energy and a spitting image of one of my dear friends. Noel was fantastic. Computer geek turned rockstar. I loved it. Ber and I had a wonderful time discussing music, eating Rubios and cheering on our friend.
The next night had a lovely steak dinner with T as we had our usual catch up fabulous conversation.
Job is going well, got a raise already! We had today off work so caught up on all my errands I've slacked off on due to tech week and exhaustion.
Training is back in full force, and I'm finding myself wanting to eat better. Since I dont cook AT ALL and never will I'm on a hunt to find easy/quick ways to do this. (Bite me kitchen? Any tips for us?) I bought some greens, and a good dressing and mom made chicken the other night so I do plan to throw together a 5 minute salad...hopefully I can come up with more ideas.
I do have a new physical issue I've got to deal with - the famous foot thing again. My chiropracter is thinking it actually may be something called neuroma. Looks like an MRI of my foot is in my future. But I'll handle it. Guess I may have to just work upper body at the gym for a bit.
I do need to hunker down and get my finances in order. I'm really really wanting to go to Coachella this year, but its not looking good. Plus if I start forkin out some medical bills...eeesh.
I've added a few photos from this month so far and I'm feeling good. Now that my head is above water after No Exit opening I'm excited to keep moving in the direction I am. Things are still changing. I dig it.
Tonite - I'm thinkin wine and hot tub.......

2010...

The year is almost over. Every single time this year I think "Holy Shit! The year is over?!" But who doesnt. I got on iPod for Xmas, so as I sit here trying to finish uploading the last of my music (Not sure if you knew I was a music whore...this is a long process), figured what a good time to pop out my year end blog. I must say, as I've mentioned before - something's changing in my life. I think this year was the start, next year will be more changing and somewhat of a prep and 2012 will be my year. I dont want to put expectations on one particular year, but 2012 is the Year of the Dragon and we all know what that means. But who knows. I hope to continue with these slow changes in my life. I'm really hoping for a major upswing in the financial situation, but again we'll see. For now: 2010.
January:
NYE started of lovely - Lumberjack party at my bro's and ended up with a fun hook up in the process. January was the month I got glasses. During the prior few months, I noticed I was squinting at street signs and having a hard time reading things on the TV or movie screen. Age sort of bitch slapped me. I've had perfect vision my whole life. I go visit this Aussie eye fellow - and he tells me I have a very mild case of near-sighttedness. He doesnt know why, said its actually unusual for someone with perfect vision to start having issues at my age, but says not to worry and honestly doesnt think it'll get any worse. I'm only to wear them when I need them. So driving at night and when I watch movies/tv/plays that are a bit far away - I wear them. What can I say - I know I can pull of the cute librarian when I want :). January was also full of Revenger's Tragedy rehearsals. This is the show that ended up being something I loved and hated at the same time. We were supposed to open in January, permits fell through at the new MWC space, then the next few months became are we going to do it? If so where and when. The damn thing got post-phoned and moved so many times it sort of killed the love for the show. But - my little brother was in it as a small role and I did really dig the show and the people in it and it did end up being awesome. But Lawd.
February:
Nothing too exciting happening in Februrary except of course my birthday! We hit up the District Lounge again. That seems to be becoming my birthday hang out. A faboo crew came out and we had a great night. There was also a bowling night in there somewhere, but I point this out because I was reunited with a friend of mine from HS. He's a great person and I was so glad he popped back into my life. Also during this time I was starting to fall for said NYE hook up not knowing what was ahead. Also Revengers...still rehearsing and unsure.
March:
Another nothing really to report (I guess I had kind of a slow start to the year). Except Revengers finally opened!!!!! Yay! We had only 2 days of tech in the brand new spot we had available to us and had to completely change the staging. It was nerveracking, alot of work, alot of blood sweat and tears but the damn thing finally went up and was quite well recieved. Being in a show with my lil bro made it all worthwhile. He made me so proud! I know he'll never do it again though! ;)
April:
We closed Revengers in April. So proud, so happy. In April, mom and I also went and saw Stomp - I had got us tix for her bday and we had a fantastic time as always.
Both of us such huge fans of the group. April also of course brings Coachella! No need to go into detail here, as all you readers I'm sure read the Coachella day blogs. But of course - an always memorable time with my girls!
May:
Lesseee...May's highlights would include the music of course. Our annual trip to Doheny Blues fest falls in here - again no details needed as it has its own blog, and T and I took E to see Massive Attack for her bday present. We had a great time and I absolutley dug Massive Attack! Wasnt familiar with them, but am now a fan! We also made to and Angels game this month, and it was a particularly fun evening becuase our friend Vinnie who I adore - pretty much treated me, D and Nat to the whole evening. So much fun! May also brings the annual White Trash BBQ. I have had to miss it the past few years due to my Havasu trips, but didnt make it out there this year so was able to make an appearance in my WT get up with Tab soda and Twinkies in hand. As per usual The Matzkanins threw a fabulous party! This was also the month my heart got a little broken, because dumb me had started falling for the previous mentioned fellow only to get slapped in the face. There's a blog about that one too :)
June:
We're now rollin into Summer - my FAVORITE time of year, so I'm sure I was in much better spirits all around. We started the month off seeing my friends Susy and Mark tie the knot, then immediatly after said wedding - T and I blast off to LA to see LCD Soundsystem.....aaawwweeesssooome!!! Other highlights were our SATC girls day out (Altho only 3 of us made the movie), Seeing my darlin Shan sing, another round of Gogol Bordello and ended the month off in Palm Springs for Robin's bday weekend and flying back in time to make T's mom's 70th.
July:
July of course brings Kelly's Beach - again it has its own blog, but always an adventure. July was also full of artwalks and outside events which I always love as well as a visit to Pageant of the Masters which as usual was very beautiful. July 4th weekend was a blast - had a nice party on the 3rd with great friends and spent the 4th BBQing with my gay husband.
August:
August highlights finally got me to the OC Fair, again lots of summer events, Simon's 1 year bday, the Foodie Fest and seeing another set of friends get married. This particular wedding was at a Winery and was very beautiful. These are my Ken/Barbie friends - yes they are that pretty. The the biggest change in August was the Chapman job offer. Yup - as you all know I have a new job. At the time of course I didnt realize what a difference it would make, but it has really been the best decision I could have made. It was hard, stressful, uncomfortable and nerve racking but I did it. I got it. And I dig it.
September:
September's highlights are the Street Fair - we always have a blast of bike riding, drinking and eating way too much all weekend. More lovely outside events....God I love summer....and of course the best moment all month - Muse. They again have thier own blog, but what an amazing show.
October:
October is pretty much when kickball and my training started. So this was a good thing. I was starting to try to get my fat ass back in shape. Also saw yes some MORE friends tie the knot in a beautiful very windy wedding down in Long Beach. I was able to hit San Clemente for one day/night (the new job did unfortunatly get in the way of that vacation). I saw a good amount of theater this month it seemed. I also had a bit of a party month. One weekend was a friends Tim Burton themed party - I was a hit. The next month was a surprise bday party for Lori then the next weekend was Halloween! My Jay had a party up in WeHo this year that was faboo as usual and my busted up doll costume was a hit. Our usual trip to Haunt was also a blast.
November:
November was filled with more theater, kickball, training, dinners and a couple of parties. Lots of time with friends and family and of course Thanksgiving. It was at the bro/sis-in-law's place this year and was really nice!
December:
More parties - a pajama Xmas party, a rave themed bday party and of course Christmas!!! Which was lovely.
So here we are at the end of 2010.
I can finally not say what a horrible year. Its been of a year of lots of slow change - change I didnt even realize was happening. And I'm still changing which is really weird but good. I handle life differently. As always, it seems friendships change. I'm starting to spend more time with less people. Dont get me wrong - I love all my friends, all the parties and gatherings, etc. But I'm truly valuings those one on one times with the friends that truly understand and support me. My trust in people and what I share with people has altered. When it comes to men, I'm even a bit different. I'm more open to giving things a chance, but if its not going anywhere and I'm not feeling that connection - fuck it. I honestly dont want to waste my time. I think this whole self discovery thing is affecting that for sure. I'm also starting to accept myself for who I am. And I like it. I know I'm a good person. I know I'm an even better friend. So take it or leave it.
SO thats it I guess! 2010 is driving to a close. I'll be bringing in the new year in jammies with whoever comes over.
I hope 2011 brings all you readers nothing but peace love and happiness. I know it sounds corny - but its true.
Happy New Year everyone!

The Holidays have arrived....

Warning - this blog may be another nonsense rambling one...although when I come to think of it which one of my blogs are not just that right?
Anyway - the holidays are here. Christmas Eve is 2morow! My plans of the day are still up in the air. This is the 1st year in who knows how long I have nothing to do. The holidays are a little tricky this year. Papa's health of course kept the question raised of where/what we would be doing with them. But he's doing ok, so it looks like Ma will be bringing them over here Xmas day for a while, then I'll be having dinner with dad later that night. Shane/D are on a plane to Ireland as I type. Ma is housesitting thier place, and the roomie has flown home. So here I am at the house with just the kittehs and Smokie, and will be all through the holidays (with the exception of Xmas). Whats weird? I dont care. My normal M.O. would be to get depressed, cry, feel lonley, etc. It isnt 2morow eve yet, so I cant guarantee this will last until then, but I actually think it will. I'm finding myself in a different place these days. Yesterday was a testament to how much I actually like where I work now. We had a huge holiday party - I guess they do this every year, and its the entire faculty/staff so there was like 400 people or something. Party went till noon and then everyone was pretty free to go home. Now - I still had about an hours worth of work to do. Normally when everyone is gone and I'm stuck still working, I'm furious and want to leave so bad and get angry, etc. Yesterday - I didnt. My boss was even saying "Woman go home!". I just had to make a quick deposit - its not like I was going to be there long, but I was ok with it! It was so bizzare! How fascinating is it to actually like where you work!!!!! (We wont discuss the downpour I got caught in whilst making said deposit). Having a job I dont despise has made quite a difference in my life. I'm hoping to hell Mitzy is right that now everything will start falling into place. The other day I thought to myself...2010 was not horrible, but a bit of a stumble. 2011 will be getting me geared up for an amazing 2012. I dont know why I feel this way but I do. I read a funny little article (in Cosmo no less) about the difference between women in thier 20's and women in thier 30's. It was spot on. I was cracking up. Maybe this is why I feel like things are changing in my life? Yes its a long slow change, but its still change. Who knew Cosmo would point that out so simply. Things are not perfect of course - my financial situation is still grim. The car fix, and the recent vet bill (Dont worry..kittehs are fine) knocked me back pretty hard. Of course the holidays always hurt as much as I try to budget. So thats a bit rough. I'm still single and not sure if I'm ok with it or not. I dont think I am since every guy who smiles or talks to me nicely I'm instantly picturing us in bed or dating or whatever. I also still curse at romantic movies and screech at whoever is with me what bullshit it is. Hmmmm ya...still need to work on that one. And of course still livin with Ma due to the financial hurdles. But - I'm working on it all. The training is starting to sort of pay off. My muscles have returned, I can fit in my pants and I'm noticably in better shape - but I have a long way to go. I'm learning patience people. I hate it but I'm learning it. Things are moving upward they really are - they're just taking a really really long time.
Anywhoo - Year End Blog comin soon I'm sure, I have some time off so I'll have a moment. So happy holidays to my readers! May your Christmas be lovely! I may be dancing around my house in my Xmas underwear drinking a bottle of wine and singing Xmas carols to myself and I'm totally looking foward to it!

Thanksgiving....

So its Thanksgiving of 2010.
First of all I cant believe this year has flown by. I suppose around this time of year we all say the same thing every year. During the year it creeps by, yet all of sudden here falls the beginning of the "Holiday" season. Holy shit. I'll look forward to writing my year in review blog later this year, because for the 1st time in a long time I'm pretty confident its actually going to have much more good things then bad. But today is Turkey Day. I feel I should protest the concept of the holiday, and it is a little morbid actually thinking of the all the turkeys you see and knowing they symbolize the day because we eat them later, and of course there is a part of me that will be like that....I'm a fucking hippie until the day I die - when someone starts preaching about how we stole the land from the indians and this holiday is a sham...I cant really argue and I cant help but feel a pang of guilt when I see the cartoon turkey holding up a sign that says eat chicken. But it does seem our Thanksgiving's our a little off "Tradition" anyway. Honestly, we dont all sit around a big table and say our prayers and say what we're thankful for. I dont know if any of us as ever really watched the Thanksgiving Day Parade. Its rarely just "Family" - there are always friends joining us. In fact mom misses the times we had more "orphans". (Sis in law has been doin it the past couple of years). But ours is special for sure. Its a time when the family does get together with friends mixed in and spend time together. We're a very close family anyway - this is not nessasarily unusual - but this time we get lots of food to go with it. Each year my bro and sis-in-law have had it at thier place they have come up with a new way to cook the poor bird. This year its some infer-red cooker thing. I'm a little wary, but there is always the ham too....
So honestly I dont know what my point to this blog is, other then the fact that I'm really looking foward to today (even tho the cold Santa Ana winds are here and my glands are swollen). I'm looking foward to eating to my hearts content, drinking plenty of the wine I bring (I'm booze gal...shocking I know) and hanging with the family and some friends. I'm sure some games will be broken out and a drunken Cranium or Taboo will happen but lots of laughter will be guaranteed I'm sure.
Hopefully Papa and Gramma can make it this year (the last 2 gramma's been sick, and this year as you know Papa is having a rough time at it). So fingers crossed.
So after all my usual useless rambling I do want to throw out some thank you shout outs:
I'm truly thankful and grateful that I am surrounded by such wonderful family and friends. I'm lucky to have a super close family who loves the shit out of each other. To my friends - your amazing. I've grown closer to some - you know who you are. I'm so lucky to not just have one best friend but to have multiple. This year those who have especially touched my heart: Lib - you'll always make me laugh and your fierce loyalness to friendship is extrodinary. T - I truly think we're fucking connected, thank you for always loving me and being right there by my side through the ups and the brutal downs. Mitzy - Your an inspiration. I strive to achieve the amazing things you have in life. Your encouragement is priceless. Mic - I'm so happy your back and our long conversations and ramblings I've missed. You've always loved me just for being me no matter what. There of course are so many more of you that have made an amazing difference in my life in ways you may not even be aware of and I thank you.
I'm thankful for the new job that pretty much landed in my lap. The enviroment is such a more positive one, my boss is amazing and I'm actually happy there. Its a trip! :)
I'm thankful that mom's impact on Papa has truly made a difference in his health, and I'm so happy to actually see a transformation like that. I believe that my mom's love has actually extended the life of one of the most important men in my life. She's got that kind of power people ;)
I'm thankful for my precious kitties (yes crazy cat lady rant). They love me so fiercely and are such mama's girls. They protect me, entertain me, love me and cuddle with me. Yes I'm so thankful for my furry children.
I'm thankful for my health. I'm alive. I've put my body through the ringer more often then I care to admit and I'm trying now to take better care of it. I'm thankful that I havent killed my dumb ass yet.
I'm of course thankful for the ocean, sushi, art, kickball, coffee, naps, sex, flowers, funny videos, sunsets, San Clemente, fairs, music, laughter, Halloween Time, and on and on and on.
And a big Thank You too all you people who actually read my random writings. Have a Happy Happy Thanksgiving!
