What are you thankful for??

I'm off to visit family on the coast for Thanksgiving. Ocean, sand, probably rain according to the forecast and the excitement is bubbling away. Since, it is not so coincidentally because of the Thanksgiving holiday that this trip is possible, I thought I would reflect for a minute on a few of the things I'm thankful for - that's what you are supposed to do right??

Here's my list:

My family - without them I would be a much less agreeable human being. It is best to have people who can tell you to stuff but still have to love you because you are related.

My friends - I have been truly blessed to have some amazing friends, who can also tell me to stuff when I'm being stupid and like me anyway.

My critters - nothing is better than unconditional love from a fuzzy little critter who thinks its the coolest thing ever that you just put food in their bowl and can be entertained for hours by a piece of string or a stick.

My freedom - I am so grateful to have the freedom to make this post and am so appreciative of all those who have made this possible, including my father. I hope all our troops feel loved this holiday season.

So, how about it... what are you thankful for??

makes I am planning to blog through the month of December, you know one of those blog everyday kind of clubs.  I like the idea of them a lot – though I’m not promising anything spectacular, because I tend to get sidetracked a lot, but I am planning to blog at least a little.

I suppose if I actually made it all the way through I’d feel pretty awesome but it’s all good. Actually, what most excited me about this blog all the month thing was the theme – Zeitgeist – isn’t that just one of the coolest words ever? It just sounds cool.  I am thinking of adopting it as my theme for 2011 – I’m not joking, I like it that much. In case you don’t know (or haven’t googled a defintion yet) here’s an overview of the meaning from wikipedia : is "the spirit of the times" or "the spirit of the age." Zeitgeist is the ge...

Where I've been... well, nowhere really. I have been trying to stay off the computer and get some studying done. Obviously this is not working very well since here I am, but it is an effort. This new test I am studying for to determine whether I'm cool enough to enter the Education program at Western Washington University is scaring the pants off me. I really wish they would accept my already passing Praxis scores as I have already gone through all the freaking out, stressing out, studying and lack of sleep for that test. I don't test very well. I really never have. I am full of that panicky test anxiety right up until the professor, etc says go, and then I calm down and keep telling myself, you know this or you don't... just breathe goober. I am almost always convinced that I'm going to fail, and fail badly and I can't remember actually ever failing, but it could still happen. So, now I stay up late (because that's the only time it's quiet here) a...
