Changing the subject (well, in a way!), did you see the moon, Jupiter, and Venus hanging out together in the early evening sky last night? If I had the capabilities, I would have attempted a photo. (I did manage to find one on picapp but it doesn’t do it justice and doesn’t show the same positioning we had here.) I’ve never seen anything like that in my lifetime. Apparently, Jupiter is the “ruling planet” for my sign, Sagittarius, for what it’s worth. I suddenly felt very, very small when I realized what I was looking at. What an incredible universe we live in.

My friends and family showed me in so many ways yesterday what it truly means to love. There aren’t enough words to express how overwhelmed I feel at the generosity shown to me. I only hope I can “give a little bit” of that right back to you ALL, every day of my life.

I just want to say THANK YOU to my friends and family for all the bday wishes. My cup runneth over! Your love is overwhelming to me and I want you to know how much it means to me to have you all in my life!!!

I have to work the holiday and day after, popularly known this year as “Black Friday.” It’s just as well. There is no way I’d get out and fight someone over a “bargain” at 4 a.m. when some of the stores open. One thing I do look forward to, however, is looking through the ads in the newspaper tomorrow to see how the stores will try to outdo each other. Very entertaining. In fact, the circulars will dwarf the actual news (which is all bad anyway). That’s how we roll here in the good ol’ USA.

So although I’m working on Friday, at least I’ll be snug in my bed while all the fist-fights are breaking out in parking lots and stores everywhere in the name of commerce. Ahhhh…the holidays are here!

Just bring me the GB casserole and punkin’ pie and no one gets hurt.
