I must confess that I have been feeling all wrong lately..... I have been feeling like there is an itch I just can't scratch or there is something looming in my future that I know nothing about and I am getting fed up.
I can't put my finger on it. Maybe it is the clouds looming over head for the last couple of days, or it could be the impending move. AHHHH

November is time for thanks....
I thought I'd reflect a little on the things that I have to be thankful for a little earlier than Thanksgiving. I mean I seriously have about a million and 1/2 things that I could be thankful for this minute. I am resolved to turn over a new leaf and make a dedicated effort to focus any un-wholesome thoughts directly to thanksgiving mode, starting with numero uno......
1. My precious family, I mean what would I do with out them? They are truly the folks that love you no matter what and I mean no matter what. They have seen me at my best and at my worst and they truly are the apple of my eye.
2. On this Veteran's Day I truly would like to call attention to all of the brave men and women who have been there through thick and thin supporting our country and I would just like to say that I am very thankful for everyone who has been towing the line or has towed the line. Three cheers for you
3. I would like to starting being thankful for things now that you wouldn't think to be thankful for. I mean we all know we are thankful for food, housing, clothes, I mean DUH we should be. (I mean I certainly don't wake up in the morning and think to day I would like to starve and run through the streets naked and sleep under the stars just for kicks, if you do I give you props)
4. I am really thankful for toilet paper, It is a very multifunctional tool that would make my life very uncomforatable if it suddenly went amiss. It can be used to blow you nose, clean up makeup mistakes, wipe UHUM you know along with a variety of other things that do not pertain to the aformentioned UHUM.
5. I am really thankful for my phone, it has gotten me out of many a pickle and it keeps me connected with all sorts of groovy peeps.
6. I am thankful for good music, there is nothing like a good jam session to lift the spirits
7. I am thankful for flowers they are 1. beautiful masterpieces of artwork 2. the smell good what is better than that
8. I am thankful for a sweet kisses and cuddles from Mr. D

10. I am thankful for smiles they make the day seem sweeter
There is more of this thanksgiving coming....I just needed a little preview
What are you thankful for November 11th?

Today I was thinking about how important words are to the communcation of the human species, not only do they get us what we need and want, they can paint the pictures that are bouncing around in our heads.
I have really been trying to use my words to paint interesting pictures. I do have alot of fun and interesting things happening to me every day it is just up to me to be able to articulate what is going on in a fun interesting way. It is taking some work let me tell you.
I was really antsy today at work, I kept glancing at the clock every half a second and you know how that is...... the clock has only moved a half second so it seems that life has slowed down to a whisper of time.
The day was just so beautiful I wanted to move my desk outside just for the day ;) The sun kept calling my name and when I left work there was just enough of it left, it kissed my cheeks. I just had to take a drive that was all there was to it. I opened my windows, put in some lovely Gwen tunes and took the long way home. I also stopped at the Mekong Plaza. As I browsed through the veggies I kept visualizing all the tantalizing dishes I could make with this and that and every time I go there I see the durian fruit. It is spikey and blobby not a very attractive speciman and I just have to smell it. I have heard that it is one of the stinkiest foods out there. However I have never caugh a whiff of this so called "stink". I am sure all the little Asian ladies think I am strange as I leaned over this bin sniffing the air like a hound dog on a trail. After my little smell ritual I took my self home and promptly lost all ambition to make any food of any kind. So it is left over ambition tonight for supper. How is that for a word painting?

Monday...
I am glad Monday is here! It means that it starts the week so we have another weekend to look forward to.Speaking of looking forward to things I notice that when I don't have a trip of somekind or some kind of shenanagan planned I kinda feel blah. I just feel that the hum- drum of life starts to kick in and before you know it you are chasing your tail like a dog.
Yesterday was a fantastic day. Mr D and I went looking for appliances which we desparately need for our new house. We had a lovely drive together and before you know it Mr Sanchez had sold us a spiffy "new" washer, dryer and refrigerator. They even delivered! Yeah- since I am not a fan of loading heavy machines and such into the back of my truck and then waiting for my back to start screaming, I was sold from the get go. I still have quite a bit of packing to do.. as I write this large stacks of hungry boxes glare at me waiting for me to stuff them to the brim. But tonight I shall have to ignore their mockery since I am soooo tired. Even as I write this I am not sure if I am making that much sense. I am more rambling than writing, its like that phase before you go to sleep when you are talking and before you know it your waking up and you don't even remember falling asleep.
Well I guess I will have to remember falling asleep since I still need to do the usual nightime rituals.....

Wednesday---- the week is half full
Happy Wednesday! Wednesday night is a good night for me, not only does it have one of my favorite television shows on but it is the downward side of the week. So all take a moment and breathe in Wednesday night.
On another note......
Why must the drummers drum so loud!!! And the same stupid beat!!! I am so fed up with this madness on my peaceful Wednesday night.Dahh dahh dumm dahh dahh dumm repetativly for several hours.
Before I go I must tell you a story that happen to me today was pretty fun and sad acutally. I was fixing my self a terrific lunch today at work arrugula and tuna on a tortilla, anyhow in the midst of this preparation I managed to drop some of the tuna on my shirt. Yuck and gross together I don't want to smell like a fish all day. I started dabbing like mad at the spot with some soap and water. Everything was coming along and the spot was going away. Whew. I poured some salad dressing on the arugula and a drip fell off the spout however I caught it with the same finger that had been scrubbing at my shirt, low and behold I forgot about the soap on the finger and promptly stuck it in my mouth, soap dressing and all. It tasted horrible. I gagged a bit and ran my tongue under the sink for a bit to rinse out the taste. I guess I must remember do as mother says and not lick you fingers......
