bent & wiggly

okay, so i remembered my blogaversary, and then promptly forgot it. so i will talk about it now.

yeah! it has been one year! i need to update the uber, and see where i am at with its standings. it feels like i have done a lot, but i don't know...

HAPPY THANKSGIVING!

it is a lovely cold day in connecticut. i will start cooking soon, and bust out the comal to heat up my tamales. yum! i hope that everyone has a lovely day, and that we are all thankful for what we have.

for me, i am thankful that i have a fabulous family! nuclear and extended! i am thankful that my kin was spared in the sylmar fires, and although my grandpa was evacuated, i am thankful that he is still around to be evacuated. i am thankful that during this time of economic woe, my husband has a good job, and is able to provide us with the things we need, and a lot of things we don't need. i am thankful for my friends. i am looking forward to the day when we all go nuts at the same time, and relish in the conversations where we make these plans. i am thankful for my health. i am thankful for the fiber arts that have kept my stresses down, and my creativity up. i am thankful for good neighbors. and i am thankful for those that are serving their country, and are away from their families. sometimes i forget that Pat could be underwater, far away, instead of with us, playing and having a good time. i will try to be more thankful that he has witnessed the birth of both our babies, and been around to see them start their cute little lives. i am thankful.
