I had a few random thoughts today..
1) Sometimes I miss my old job.. I miss the friends I made, the work was interesting, and I had been there so long I could do the job in my sleep - which made me great at it and nobody could/would doubt my skills. True story. Then I have moments of clarity when I remember that my current job gives me a short day today, tomorrow and Friday off and December 24th - January 4th off.. PAID. That's right folks. I get a week and a half off, paid, for the holidays. Fantastic, right?!?
2) Obviously something happening to my family is my worst fear. There is nothing worse that I can imagine in life than losing one of them.. they are my entire life and I would probably just Poof.. up and cease to exist without them. That being said, my second biggest fear is being cheated on. To clarify, I don't believe for a minute that Anthony would ever do that to me. He's a great person and he wouldn't hurt me that way. However.. the thought of that happening makes me break into a cold sweat. Not the act itself.. but the fact that one stupid mistake would effectively ruin our entire lives and it would mean I would only see my son half the time. I would be reduced to a part time parent, through no fault of my own. That's just so tragic. I can't possibly imagine not seeing my little boy every day. My life as I know it.. the dogs.. house.. baby.. cars.. everything would change. I really love my life so that's pretty much the second worst thing possible.
3) When they show turkeys on the news this week.. I get a major case of guilt over the fact that I'm about to eat one. If I liked veggies, I would definitely move into vegetarian territory because I feel so terrible about eating meat. I actually feel bad and I think about how bad I feel as I eat it. However - I don't really like veggies.. so I'd be reduced to eating cheese, potatoes, corn and bread. This will definitely not help my weight loss mission.
4) I have been thinking about my dating history a bit lately. Considering I was with my ex-husband for six years and essentially moved on straight to Anthony for the last three and a half years.. I've managed to squeeze quite a few boyfriends into a short time. Sadly.. I've come to the conclusion that all but three people I've ever dated are completely worthless sacks of crap. I married two of the three.. so that's a whole lot of time wasting. That time would have been much better spent shoe shopping.
That's it for now.. have a Happy Thanksgiving everyone!

My love for all that are shoes...
This is for my good friend Cara.. as I know she will appreciate my fine taste in footwear.
Christian Louboutin... I think I love you..
Here is why:
Since these shoes are almost as much as my mortgage payment, I probaby won't be owning any pairs in the near future.. but a girl can dream.

Awww.. he really IS the best!
My husband is the best. Seriously. True story.
Neither of us really needed anything for Christmas. We have each other, our precious little boy, wonderful families and a house/cars.. what else is there? (Besides designer handbags and Christian Louboutin shoes that I can't afford)
The only thing either of us could think of that we REALLY wanted.. were new phones. I had a mishap several months ago and dropped my phone into the pedicure pool. I still can't believe I am that big of an idiot. For shame. Anthony has a basic, no bells and whistles phone that's just ok.. nothing special. I desperately wanted a blackberry because the idea of having instant message, email and internet all at my fingertips is just about the best thing ever. As anyone who really knows me can attest - I hate to talk on the phone and I never do.. but I always send emails. Being able to keep in touch via email from any location is just fantastic.
Verizon wouldn't offer any sort of deal on a blackberry since we weren't due for an upgrade. Even with the threat of cancellation. Unreal! So instead of paying the 400 dollar retail price for the blackberry, we signed up with AT&T and got the blackberry for free! As well as a fancy phone for Anthony for only 50 dollars! WOOHOO!
F you Verizon!
I'm a happy girl.
Thanks honey for my screaming new Blackberry - you're the best. I love you.

Christmas
Ahh... Christmas.. my absolute FAVORITE time of the year! Christmas activities that I love are as follows:
Picking out the Christmas tree (I love the act of going and picking it together, the smell it leaves behind, putting lights up.. everything!)
Shopping for gifts for my loved ones (I really don't like gift cards - I love picking something out)
DISNEYLAND!!! I love the lights, the snow, the shows.. everything is just MAGIC this time of year. I absolutely love it.
Of course I love seeing family, as it does rarely get to happen these days.. and I really enjoy now, Matthew getting to open presents and being excited over things. He's so much fun!
I really don't need much in life - I pretty much have everything I want. However.. this is what I want for Christmas this year!
Please please please!
