Thankful Thursday!

Well, hello beautiful people!   I hope that everyone has had a delightful week! I know I did!  :) Halloween is fast approaching and our Halloween bash is Friday.  I am so disgustingly excited. Don't worry, I still took time to smell the roses this week and I have much to be thankful for. 

The winners are.... dum.. dum... dum...

That My Costume Arrived on Time -  Do you know what's lame?  I'll tell you.  Having a Halloween Extravaganza and not having a Halloween costume.  That's lame! Lolly mailed the costumes like two weeks ago and we just got them yesterday.  Talk about the nick of flipping time! I am happy we got the in time because the last thing I wanted to do was go looking for a costume before the party.  However, I cannot find my fake eyelashes and I'm a bit peeved about that. Tony, Tony please come around... 

That Election Day is Almost Over -  Goodness Gracious!  For the Love of the Universe I cannot wait until this is over.  I hate the bickering on Facebook/Twitter and other social media over what candidate should win.  If you want a good president, vote for Jacob Black.  He seems to have his crap together although he has a bit of an anger issue. I wonder what people will post once the election is over.  And to those of you who are posting constantly: YOU BETTER VOTE!  I don't care who you vote for.  It's your American right to vote for who you see fit.  But if you are constantly shoving your political views down someone's throat then your arse better remove itself  from the seat it is in and vote. The thing I hate about election years is the hostility towards everyone.   So, you, yeah, you, do yourself a favor and listen to what your mama told you.  Do not discuss religion or politics at the dinner table.      Or any table.   And thank the Universe that this season is almost over! 

Nail Polish Remover -  As insignificant as this is I am, currently, enormously thankful for nail polish remover.  I did such a bad job on these bad boys today that I am embarrassed of myself. and honestly when does that happen?

The Safe Arrival of Cole Phoenix Carota -  Back in March when Jenn came to visit me, she almost immediately told me she was pregnant.  This was great news since she miscarried the last time she was pregnant.  On Saturday, Mr. Cole was born and he is a cute little button.  She had a quick labor, or so it seemed by the Facebook messages that I was getting, and he was a big baby!  I am happy that he is here safe and sound. 

My Sister, Phaedra -  For some this may be a shock.  Hell for me it's even a shock.  Phaedra and I are really hardly ever friends. We just don't see things the same way and it's always been that way.  However, distance makes the heart grow fonder or at least the mind recognize things that may have been overlooked before. Obviously, I am forever in her debt because she has given me a Jacob.  When my life was lacking a Jacob, I was no where near as happy as I am now.  My universe revolves around that boy.  Phae and I, we have had our differences, I can't even pretend to deny that, but there is no doubt in my mind that she'd defend me to anyone if I needed defending.  Likewise, I can bark at her all day long for things that annoy me about her but if someone else did it, they'd hear it from me.  As I am so far away from everything as so detached from everyone, I only have Facebook to communicate or check up on people and I noticed this guy was giving Phaedra a hard time about her faith in Jesus.  This annoyed because the Jesus thing works for Phae and I am a big believer in letting people have a freedom to practice their own faith and believe in what they want. Anyway, dude was going on and on about how there is no Jesus and then proceeded to speak of this Ra character and that he carried the Sun or some nonsense like that.  So that's when it hit me and I realize this jerkoff was bullying my sister and I left some words of wisdom. Even though I wanted to remind them both that it is neither Jesus or this Ra fellow that holds the Sun as it would burn their fingers and neither one of them gave it to us... it's just a big ball of gas chilling in space, I didn't do that.  I told this man to get lost and post that crap on his own wall! I remember one time my mom had to get  up and go somewhere really early when I was in middle school, it was Phae's job to make sure I got my arse to school in one piece.  Goodness! My ponytail was on the top of my head like I was a genie, she let me wear one of her shirts... which at that point in time it was the best thing ever. Hindsight, if any part of the 90s didn't treat me well, it was that outfit.  But at the time it was cool.  Yeah, Phaedra gave me complexes, like any sister would. In fact, she's the reason I am obsessed with my eyebrows!  But I remember anytime she handed me a compliment it meant way more to me than any other compliment that anyone could give me. All in all, she's all right.  She has her flaws as I have mine, (chuckles, "I don't have flaws.") but I'm glad I know her. I send good vibes out to the Universe regularly that she stays well. 

Maybe I should be president!  I think I handled that Jesus/Ra thing quite well!  

What are you thankful for? 

HAPPY HALLOWEEN!!!!!!
