I am wearing my red sweater from Christmas day last year and I should have KNOWN it would be good luck!!! I - am - jumping - for - joy! The tent on 360 for the Christmas trees is UP! That means .... it's almost Christmas time! And since Thanksgiving is coming up, that means just 14 days FROM TODAY until 24/7 Christmas music! YES! YES! YES!
(I had to pick one that doesn't make me cry - it's still too far from Christmas!)
Caffeine, Caffeine! I love you in the morning I care for each and every coffee bean Without you, I recognize the warning
My head is in a fog My body lags behind I forget to feed my dog I am not very kind
Then, my dear caffeine, I take a drink Your intoxicating drugs run through me Slowly I can think My skin begins to turn pink Finally, I can run and shout with glee!
I started months ago and I must admit - I loove it! I love all my outfits more, jewelry is so much fun to wear! To prove it, here are some random, embarassing pictures from the last few months where I just happened to have jewelry on!
At Brooke's baby shower (white and silver earrings, I also had on a bracelet):
On a date with my husband (leopard print earrings):
At Kai's birthday party (silver hoop earrings):
Carmen's bachlorette party - hence the penis - (necklace, earrings AND a bracelet):
On a construction site, even (look closing, big turquoise necklace)!:
Just for me #15: Change my voters registration to my current address.
The proof is in the zip code! The last time I was registered to vote was when we lived off Parmer and our zip was 78727. Woohoo for voting :-) Kind of a funny story, Chris thought I had already changed my address to vote, and one day we were on 6th for happy hour and there were people outside registering people to vote right on the street. I sneaked out and changed my address right there on 6th street! The funniest part is Chris had told me he'd changed his address but was fibbing, too. Now guess who didn't change their address in time :-\ I need to find out if he can vote in our old district or if it's been too long since we've moved.
I wasn't impressed. The bartender stared us down hard core! And I make it a point to not say hard core because I sound like a goober. The service was slow and the restaurant was boring. I'm still holding a torch for the location on 6th Street to be better!
The rest of that day was awesome! We took Emily to a job interview and then the three Henderson women in my immediate family made a day of it. We went to Mars on Congress and had the tastiest appetizers EVER! (To make up for the sucky parts of Habana, although the food was good). We shopped all up and down Congress and capped it off with some fancy smancy drink from Opal Devine's. I love hanging out with my Mom and Seeester. So while the actual accomplishing of a goal was uneventful, the result of accomplishing that goal was a fabulous day.
I was so frustrated by this, and I really feel for the woman in the story! Can you imagine having an undiagnosed, untreatable disease and not being able to do anything about it? Then only to have doctors tell you that your a hurting and scratching yourself and pulling out your own hair when you KNOW you are not?! Why can't doctors just accept that they don't know everything and that just maybe there might be a disease or two out there that they don't know about? Stop over diagnosing ADD or over prescriping antibiotics and humble yourself a little! Be willing to learn something!
:::Stepping off my soap box. I have no idea why this got me so riled up!:::
