My BFF and I went out "late (12 p.m.)" yesterday for Black Friday and still managed to get all the great deals we had on our lists! Not only were we done making the rounds to all the stores by 3 p.m., we managed to snag our stuffing from my sister's house from Thanksgiving dinner the night before! YMMMMMMMmmmmmmmm!
I gotta go, more to come!!!!!!

Thankful
I must say that I am thankful everyday but with Thanksgiving tomorrow I thought I would share a few, okay a lot, of the things that I am thankful for.
- For God's love. He really does know me best.
- For my brother's desire to get back in connection with God, even if he feels unloved God will show him His love!
- For my dad's health. It has allowed me more time with him to get to know who he was, is and is to be.
- For my family(That includes you Jaime!). Even in their pain we are all growing closer(what a sad thing to say but it is so very true).
- For Jaime all on her own. She has been the second person in my life who honestly would do anything for me, never tell me when she has done something for me, encourages me EVERYDAY to chase my talents, throws me birthday parties like no one ever has, supports my fireman dream (of me catching one of those boys one day:), allows me to cry as long and as hard as I want to when I think about my Grandma C and never allows me to put myself down too much. Much luv sista!
- Neely. She is my angel. There is a special connection there that I cannot possibly explain.
- My creative talents. Once I figure out how to work them all together, I will discover my purpose in this life.
- A warm place to live, a little money in the bank to buy groceries and a car that gets me from point A to point B.
The list could have gone on, but I do need to get peeling all of those sweet potatoes. I hope that everyone has a wonderful Thanksgiving.

DigiScrap and Other Crap
Since I have figured out my Adobe program, I have made 10 layouts! I'm pretty proud of myself. I wish that I could say that I have made more but the truth is my computer is on the slow side lately. The problems I am experiencing doesn't have to do with me learning what Adobe has to offer but its about the obvious computer upgrades needed, the file clearing and the break downs in secutiry. I have come to the conclusion that what I need in order to be a sucess (even if is only in my mind) is the power that a new computer has to offer! Yesterday and today I have been doing some serious research and deciding what is best for my needs concerning my talents as a creative designer. I simply can't wait to finally make the decision and hit the buy now button.
I have been talking to a few people about the way businesses are being operated. I am concerned with the state of the economy just as much as the next person. I utterly believe that the only way "we" can survive whatever it is we're going through (recession/depression/obsession) is to band together locally/demographically and support our local resources. I live in one of the best places to live. That is no joke! Forbes listed Spokane as #9 (http://www.forbes.com/lists/2008/1/bestplaces08_Spokane-WA_2542.html http://money.cnn.com/galleries/2008/fsb/0803/gallery.best_places_to_launch.fsb/77.html) as well as many other major news & magazine sources. We have everything to help us sustain our lives that we could ever want or need. An amazing agricultural region, plenty of water, four seasons (it feels more like 3 seasons lately but who cares too much), some of the most resourceful people around and the best scenery money can buy. Hmm? Maybe that is why the slogan for Spokane is Near Nature Near Perfect! There is NO reason why we can't make a great life here. Gosh! It sounds like I am trying to convience myself. LOL!
I hope to one day open my own business to help sustain the local economy, but don't plan on it being something ordinary. I have great ideas and I can't wait to put them to good use.

Rain, Fog and A New Table
I have been busy working at Addus Healthcare helping them get ready for their audit. What a mess an impending audit can make! I was thrown in to the mix by accident and am very thankful to have the paycheck. I guess I didn't realize what I was getting myself into. It has been a challenge for me to stay focused on the tasks and not over analyze every little thing the company could be doing to stay on top of things. Today (time and a 1/2 for Sat. work) I got to be involved in re-doing some policy & procedure documents. I had a lot of fun. I really have a desire to find a full-time job where I can make a difference. It doesn't have to be monumental, life changing work, but it would be great if I COULD find that perfect fit for me sooner rather than later.
This whole week it's been raining here. If there is anything I hate worse than rain, I don't know what it would be right now! Ugh! I really can't wait for the snow. I am getting all ready, going to Cabela's tomorrow and finding my huge feet some good boots. Look out, I am getting my throwing arm ready for all the snowball fights. Beware, I will get you if you drive by!
Tonight Jaime decided it was time to get her new dinning room table. What a freakin' mess that turned out to be. Too many reasons why I have a headache, so I will spare you all the nasty details and get right to it, we finally brought a table home to be assembled tomorrow. Pics will surly be posted of that process! On the way home the eerie fog rolled in. Just another sign that winter is on it's way.
