The past week has been full of emotions. First of all, Thanksgiving was good and bad at the same time. I had a good time seeing my Mom, Dad, sister, brother and his wife. I also was very excited to see my Aunt K. However, actually going over to my other Aunt’s house was pretty much a nightmare. I won’t go into it, but let’s just say I’ll have some extra blog material tomorrow about it. We ended up coming home early to tend to Cookie, G’s dog that I have come to love as my own as well. She…

This Thanksgiving will be G’s first turkey day with my family. Now, I know that almost everyone has good food on Thanksgiving day, but I think that the spread my family produces has to be one of the best in the world. First of all, my aunt’s dressing is amazing. It’s not some horrible Stove Top Stuffing (which I can’t stand). It’s a completely homemade stuffing that is absolutely amazing. My Mom bakes her signature bread, which is honestly the best bread ever. Also, my aunt’s sweet potato souffle is to die for. I couldn’t ask for a better Thanksgiving…

There is so much to get done this week! I’m going to have to write up a major to-do list today so that I get every little thing done before we have to leave for Georgia on Wednesday morning!! Stuff like *take the dog to the groomer *clean out the car *do the laundry, etc. Then, on top of everything else, this is NaNo WriMo’s final week! As I look back, I am truly amazed that I have been able to write 37,500 words in just three short weeks. I was even sick several of the days last week and…

I just wanted to make mention that even after .. how many seasons? 15? more? … Survivor is still one of the best shows on Television. Last night, the season was down to the final 8, and although the challenges and the survivor auction were pretty normal for Survivor… it’s the players that really make the game. It was hilarious to watch an almost 60 year old man throw a fit over a damn chocolate chip cookie. If you didn’t see it, you missed out, let me tell you. Then, the sheer joy of watching that bigot of a hateful…

It’s that time of year again, where everyone stresses out about the “perfect gift” and picking out cute wrapping paper and beautiful christmas decorations. I have always loved Christmas, but there are flaws in the whole gift giving system, don’t you think? When I start to think about the perfect present for someone, I have to consider what they really would use or want. BUT, I also have to think about how much they are probably going to spend on me, or how much they spent on me last year, reducing their present into a mere exchange of money in…

So, when I went to the doctor last week, I told her about some problems I’d been having with prozac and wellbutrin. I was wondering if maybe I should try something else, and she agreed. That landed me with a two week sample pack and a prescription of Pristiq, a relatively new anti-depressant. One of the side-effects that it lists in the very long list of possible side-effects is “vivid dreams”. Let me tell you, this is a side-effect that I am definitely having. Okay, so I often have vivid dreams, I know. But the past few nights have been…
