so I have 5 minutes to finish getting ready before I have to go to work and here I am blogging....

I wanted to wish you all a Blessed Thanksgiving...

Whatever you do and Whoever you are, pls enjoy the day if you can with your family and friends..

and for sure even though stuff gets in the way to cause havoc in our lives we are truly blessed.

I will never deny that I am....

so it's Sunday night again and back to work tomorrow..

3 day week for me... YAY!

so have you started your Christmas shopping? I got a few presents on Saturday that I picked up here an there...

my plans today were totally messed up and somehow I ended up in a small Catholic chappel that they leave open very late... probably was there for about two hours just thinking and repenting and I did leave feeling better, but with an immense headache..

I feel better now for sure, but not sure if I will be celebrating Thanksgiving with my family... we all have family issues right?

I am just a bit stubborn and I wear my heart on my sleeve and when I am encountered with an issue that I can't handle I run away. this time THANK GOD the chappel was close by because honestly that was the best place to run too. I finally left when someone sat behind me and was hitting my chair... out all the little chairs that were there they sat behind me and kept hitting the chair.. I finally grabbed my bag and left.

okay ya'll my brain is fried, my eyes are puffy and I have no more energy left for the day... Thank God this day will end and tomorrow we start anew...

Peace - have a great week...

Coldplay - Shiver

Coldplay - Trouble

Music... I love music always have... my father was the one, when I was growing up, that would put on music all the time and especially on the weekends when we were doing our chores... he still loves music as much till this day...

Most of the time when I post a song here on my blog it's not just because I love it, it's because the words have a true meaning of what I am going through... or how I am feeling or how I have felt...

this song is true about me, how I feel sometimes, but mostly of one of my past relationships that ended very badly.... that relationship made me how I am today...

I build up walls around me for protection... only a few are allowed to come into my maze... I have learned that you don't need hundreds of friends JUST TRUE FRIENDS in your life... and if you don't have that then you better learn to love yourself because when you are walking alone in this world you better enjoy your own company...

Miss Li - Don't Try To Fool Me

MY fAvoRITE fINdS - dONt yOU aGREE?

ok so I told you I would post some of the great finds I found the other day at the antique mall... here are a few pics I took today of some of the great stuff.

I love vintage Christmas anything. Especially the Christmas corsages.

I will post more soon...

so I don't know about you but I have been bitten by the (CHRISTMAS (whispered) bug...

I had stopped creating a while ago, took me three years to start again.
I guess I was creating with my photography, but not on paper.

Slowly I have started again. So here are a few of my Christmas cards that I have created... Very plain, but I like plain. Of course ribbon will be attached, but at least I have started again. Keeps the mind preoccupied.

So I am off today, took my boys to school, running to do some errands and just hang out with myself... I am so used to that.

stay tuned for some pics of my finds from the antique mall the other day. Just Christmas stuff.

ready ....... set ........ go........ I am out... PEACE to you and to me........

CocoRosie - Lemonade (OFFICIAL VIDEO)

BEAUTIFUL!

Miss Li - You could have it (so much better without me)

Miss Li - Forever drunk

LOVE ME SOME FUNKY CRAZY MUSIQUE... DON'T YOU.

I honestly can't believe that we are already in November and Thanksgiving is just around the corner...

As much as I love Thanksgiving and eating all that great food my mother makes or people bring in at work, I also look forward to the black Friday hot buys the stores have to offer...

I believe last year I worked the day after Thanksgiving this year I believe I won't have to so it's going to be a long 4 day weekend... YAY... yes I am so looking forward to that and hitting some of the stores way early to get some of the great deals... NO, I promise I am not one of those people that stand outside the store for hours, in line and in the cold. I wonder if they will have a good deal on cameras that is what I look forward to...

So I hope you are looking forward to Thanksgiving as much as I am and actually I can't wait to start decorating for Christmas... I already made some Christmas cards which I will show to you shortly.

This is my last week at my position I hold with State Farm... I got a new position in a different dept and I am so looking forward to that change. We will see how that works out.

Peace -
