Holiday Card List

I’m going to be sending holiday cards out again this year and I want anyone who would like to get one from me to send me a message with their mailing information so that I can send one out to them. Although I’m Christian and practice Christmas, I understand that not all of my friends are, so they will be generalized holiday cards.


So anyway, if you’d like for me to add you to my mailing list, send me a quick PM with your mailing info. I’m planning to send them out around the 1st of December, so it’s best if you can get your information to me before then!     ;)   (There’s a “contact me” link under my picture in the sidebar…just click it!)BTW - I promise not to share any of your information with anyone else. I would never ever consider doing such a thing. I simply want to spread some holiday cheer!   :D

• Today was an alright day, I guess. My kids had appointments with their general doctors, but I totally spaced ‘em out. Way to go, Mom! Now I need to reschedule the appointments. Hopefully they’ll be able to get ‘em in fairly soon!

• I’m drinking some Newman’s Own Lemonade right now. Pretty acidic, but very, very tasty! Too bad I don’t drink anymore. It’d be really good with some Tequila in it. Oh well. Drinking Tequila isn’t worth losing everything I have.     :)

• I’m using Microsoft Office OneNote© to write this. Lonnie talked me into it…and I’m thrilled he did. What happened was that a couple hours ago I had written an entire edition of Random Randomness©. I’d gotten about 3/4 of the way done when my Opera browser crashed.    :mad:      Needless to say, I was very upset. I’d lost everything I had written. Lonnie talked me into firing up OneNote©. I’ve owned it forever, so I might as well use it, ya’ know? Besides, it saves my work as I go, so even if there’s a power outage, my shiznit will be saved!

• My Mom bought me some new acrylic nails from Sally Beauty Supply the other day. I can’t even tell you how much I love them!! They’re the perfect thickness, length, and the white area falls EXACTLY where I want it. I should take a picture in a bit.

• I’m SO happy that Yahoo! Messenger has stealth settings. I love those things!

• I almost forgot to mention that the nail glue my Mom got me from Sally is amazing, too! Holy crap! I swear you could glue the bumper on a car with that shiznit!    :shock:

• I’m listening to Alice In Chains now…again. I’m pretty sure they’ve continued to make music after the death of Layne Staley. I wouldn’t know…nor do I care. I find the thought alone to be verging on disrespectful and blasphemous.     :(     Layne Staley has a place in my heart that very, very few people get. Especially people I’ve never even met. As far as that goes, he is the only one who I can say that about. Long story…many emotions attached.

• Speaking of long and emotional stories, I’m considering writing the story of my ex who committed suicide. I mentioned it to a couple people….Conor being one of them. He thinks it’s a good idea and is anxious to read it. I don’t think he’s anxious to read it from a nosey point of view. I think it’s just so that he can gain a better understanding of what happened, what I’ve been through, and everything that goes with it. So yes…I’m about 85% certain that I will write the story. I’m also about 85% certain that I will post it for others to read. You never know - perhaps it can help someone somewhere.

• BTW - for those of you who don’t already know Conor, I highly suggest you change that fact. He may only be 13 years old chronologically, but I’m tellin’ ya’ - the kid’s a genius. He writes stories…but generally speaking, he’s so intelligent. He’s got great conversational skills and he’s just a funny guy. Add him to your list…get to know him. You won’t be missin’ out!     :)

• Oh goodie…I just shed a tear…or four. The song “Don’t Follow” by Alice In Chains yanks at my heart strings like you’d not believe.

• Sunnabiotch! The Build-A-Bear Workshop just emailed me again. They gotta leave me alone! I feel stalked…by bears! We made the mistake of building a bear there once about a year ago. Now we get weekly emails begging us to come back!    :mad:

• I don’t think I’m going to make Opera Gingerbread Men this year. I think I’m going to do cupcakes. Yeah…and decorate them all individually. Gingerbread men are just SUCH a pain in the keister. Really. I mean, everyone is worth it, but damn. That’s A LOT of work!

• I got new slippers. We really could not afford it, but they were only like ten bucks and I really needed new slippers. I adore them. They are pink, cozy, and perfect. My feet are totally stoked!

• Now I’m listening to “La Sexorcicisto” by White Zombie. I like this album quite a bit…makes me miss my bass. I’ve been missing my bass A LOT lately. :(

• My neck is hurting SO much right now. I hate this. Luckily, my doctor’s getting me in with a pain management clinic. I’m not sure how they help you manage it, but I’m up for whatever. I asked him about Accupuncture, but he said they wouldn’t do that. I’m thinking it’s probably mostly done with medications…which doesn’t make me happy.

• I guess I’ll shut up and go do that SEO learning now. I cannot wait to gain a new skill. I love feeling skilled! w00h00! Thanks for taking the time to read my shenanigans. I love you guys!

I made this just for Sarah! I hope she will like it…

FYI: The reason I’m going nuts with all the birthday stuff for Sarah is not only because she’s my best friend. It’s also because her twin girls happen to have the same birthday as Sarah does!  Being the selfless and loving Mom she is, I can so totally picture Sarah placing herself on the back burner so that her girls get the highlight.  
While that’s super sweet and everything, it has got to make for some fairly unfulfilling birthdays. I mean, I hope not, but I’d not be surprised if that’s the case. So that’s why I’m going all out on this year.  I want Sarah to have a special day for HER. A day where she is meant to feel as special as she makes everyone else feel.  
 
So now do you get it?! I hope so.  
I love you, Sarah!   

   For those of you who are unaware, today is my best friend in the whole world’s birthday!!! w00t!  HAPPY BIRTHDAY, SARAH!!!!  Can you believe we’ve only known each other for a little over a year?! No way! It feels like sooooo much longer….a sign of a true friendship!

Anyway, I recorded a video for you, but when I attempted to post it here on my blog, it threw the whole thing out of whack. :cry:   In order to watch/listen to the video, you’ll need to go HERE. I’m sorry for the inconvenience. I’m not sure exactly what the issue is, but I will get it fixed ASAFP!

I love you, my beautiful BFF, Sarah! I hope your day is truly a magnificent one filled with joy, happiness, laughter, and love! You’re the best of the best and I’m truly blessed to have you in my life…especially to have you for a best friend. ?
