Life Lately

Good riddance to November!

This is one month I am glad to see ending. It never seems to fail--every stinking time November rolls around, things go to shit. Between work, family/personal stuff and the holidays, I'm ready to bid this month a not-so-fond-farewell and usher in December with open arms.

Here is some of the good, the bad and the ugly (in no particular order) from the past month:

• Spent Thanksgiving with my family--mom, dad, brother and aunts. There was lots of really good food. Even more laughter and a really good time remember Mum (my grandmother). It was a really great day of remember just how amazing my life really is.
• Work has been CRAZY. I'm trying to see the positive in that though--I'd much rather be crazy busy than bored out of my mind with nothing to do, which has been the case. I feel like I've been running around with a chicken with its head cut off for the last four weeks. No bueno.
• I met one of my favorite authors, Michael Connelly. I totally nerved up when he was signing my book and was really only able to say "This is really awesome. Thanks." 
• I said good-bye to my cat Miss Cleo (she was absolutely named after the t.v. psychic) and she was the sassiest (some may say bitchiest) cat I have ever had the pleasure to have known. I still remember the night a friend of mine and I went to pick her up and then the argument that ensued with the guy I was "seeing" at the time over what to name her. Bringing her home was one of the best decisions I have ever made and she will be missed dearly. 

To My Friends & Family.....

Every year I dedicate the same toast to my friends and family. I'm not sure I could every say it better than BB King.......

To all of you
May I live forever
But may you live forever and day
Because I'd hate to be here when you pass away

PS When they lay me out to rest, 
May the last voices I hear be yours saying 

"While we were alive, we were friends!"

May you have all have a Happy Thanksgiving filled with laughter and joy.

Music Monday: Andrew Belle

This song ranks pretty high on the "Currently Obsessed With....." list.

Sunday Confessions

Don't Judge: I'm not going to actually post the song, you're gonna have to work to get the answer but I totally dig this tune---> Mystery Track. And yes, I'm annoyed with myself for having admitted to that.

Taking Chances: This is why I will always most likely be single. Every time taking a chance backfires, it stings just a little bit more than the one before.

Minutes of Mayhem: Neal Mayhem....I kind of have a rock star crush on this guy. Even before he posted this article on his website: Normal Sized Women Are An Endangered Species (not sure I'd click through if you are reading this at work). But yes, he is kind of inappropriate and crude but his Britishness makes up for all of that.
