gratefulness

ahem, ahem

in an effort to keep from complaining about today i am going to list the things that i'm grateful for:

• katie shields, who is probably the only person that reads this. (thanks little lady katie)
  
• the really nice lady at the laundromat who watched Selena with me and folded with me.  even though it was her job to be washing people's clothes, it was still nice to pretend that we were spending quality time together. 
• christopher robin, who makes me feel like i am precious.
• adam who helped us when we needed gas.
• the woman at my church who just agreed to accompany me on my demo for free.
• that woman's husband who agreed to record it for free.
• real simple's september issue (thanks little lady katie)
• that little fake rose sitting in a wine glass on my shelf :). 
• all the little babies that are coming into the lives of my friends.
• avocado & fake cheese.

that's all... what are you thankful for?????? comment please!

violence is bubbling inside me...

i walk into barnes & nobles to buy a magazine.  i look over and see martha stewart "weddings"  and i want to punch it.  i don't know where this urge comes from. i walk down the aisle of books.  sports, fiction... i catch a glimpse of the section called "love and sex".  the covers of these books show couples in naked embraces, i don't really want to punch these books.  i kinda just wanna give them the finger.
