Plus Three
When I start thinking of people I am grateful for, it is hard to limit myself to one a day. So, phooey on that. You guys are like a bag of Lays. (Okay...that was cheesey. I will stop right there. But...I'll give a mini to whomever can complete the thought that was about to occur there.)
Today, I am thankful to GoodGuyTheBoss, bronze_for_gold, and jo63psalm for reminding me--and all of us--that life is full of small treasures and for the encouraging words and thoughts they send our way in each and every comment they make.
Thanks, gals!

Be Honest...
I have had little to nothing of value to say lately.
Why are you still reading?
Here is my bit of honesty:
I started this blog in '05 because it helped me to deal with my grandfather's illness and, eventually, his death. Now that the same battle is playing out in another area of life, I can't find words. How does that happen?
meh.
Thanksgiving is coming up, right?
I am thankful for portiajules. She doesn't know that, but I am. Her comments always make me smile. Thanks, portiajules!
That felt nice. I think I might just do that this week. Pick a Xangan, and tell them why I am thankful for them.

Death IS a Joking Matter
There is nothing quite so sobering as discovering that one of your best friends has been told she has approximately a year--more than likely less--to live. Nothing at all.
And in honor of that somber moment, she and I shared jokes this evening. I would like to share hers with you.
"There will be no nativity in Washington D.C. this year. Be not alarmed, however. This has nothing to do with protesters. No. There was a problem finding all the parts of the nativity. You see, the first problem came when they tried to find the wise men. There were none to be found. The same was said of virgins. The only part of the nativity that there was a surplus of this season was asses."
Love you all.
Pray for my friend, her husband, and her daughter who is but one year older than my own.

uhoh
I was going to blog, but then I realized the shower turned off, and I was supposed to get myself and Part Deux dressed while Hubby showered. OOOPS!
Later!
I do actually have a blog in mind though...my wonderful state is at it again!

If You Want a Blog with a Point, Look Elsewhere.
I have been up and wide awake for the last two hours. This is bad, bad news. I have a conference to be at later today that will take my entire day. I am hoping I will be able to focus. This is a transitionally challenged post because it is pretty much stream of concious. You follow? Probably not, but that's okay. My Mafia idea has mixed reviews. BigShow says we should join his mafia because he gives minis. I think what he is really trying to say is that he is the godfather. Dangerous man, that BigShow. He is one of my favorite Xangans. I think I want a coffee. I just don't want to get up and actually run the coffee post. Something just thudded in my house. Creepy. I hope the cat just knocked something down. Yeah. At 4:18 a.m. those are pretty much my thoughts. Well, other than being frustrated because I can't figure out how to get a video downloaded to my computer. Stinkin' Facebook. I loathe thy complicated ridiculousness.
Alright. I am going to attempt to go back to bed. If I fail at that, I don't know what I will do. I can't pop in Big Bang Theory because I just sent it back to Netflix. (I am sooo married to Leonard! And, ironically, his best friend reminds me very much of Sheldon. haha)
Off to get some ZZZs.
