On Holiday Presentations

-
1.
Today we feast on starches
& proteins
& rich sugars swimming in
leaded creams as we carry
on a tradition of thankfullness.

Yet, were we thankful in the drought?

2. I've made it a priority of my sense of style to always include a bit of color, especially in the fall. As a balance of sorts to the weather's affect on one's spirit. I've been doing a horrid job of it all this week. There's hope for today, outings remain.

3. I skipped football again this year. It wasn't even a conscious decision either. Just didn't sit on the sofa to watch it.

4. My summer investment in a denim jacket has proved quite wise. It's a must have piece.

5. Julia Alvarez's In the Time of Butterflies is a wonderful book. Her presentation of life under Trujillo is breathtaking. Yea, I said breathtaking.

6. These candied yams are about to be amazing!

7. I lead a rich life, wealthy in quality beyond measure. The mere fact that I can recall multiple memories of this holiday in recent years is alone testimony enough.

8. I miss my Mom.

1. You save a drowning person via safety doughnut. Why? Because their fear of death will kill you & the help your personal involvement could offer. 2.

Lineage is relevant primarily when personal identity has been built from it, unless we're speaking of livestock. 5. All of the hardworkers are dead.

Really Big Shrimp

1. I really wish I would have learned to enjoy the moment for what is a lot earlier on. I would've saved myself much confusion & disappointment. 2. To be critical or to be creative, that is the question. 3. In the event someone ventures to ask you what their take home message should be from a given exchange, respect their willingness to acknowledge the limits of their understanding & give them the blasted message. It doesn't matter how simple it is, just relay the message. 4. Is there such a thing as too much pop Chinese cuisine? The answer is yes, yes there is such a thing. 5. Every time I think to text you, I immediately remember that I don't care if I ever hear from you. I'd delete your number but I love the surprise of feeling that every time it happens!! 6. Touareg + Gun Powder= Yess!!! 7. Hand crafted items always rank higher in my book than mass produced goods. I suppose it's the old world charm that captures my attention, knowing ...

1. Hiking = my (re)new addiction 2. Its always interesting to be reminded of where you stand in someones life. I once believed that those whom I saw the most would hold me in closer regard than those I only see occasionally. I was wrong (yep!) and its never felt soo good to know the other side. 3. At some point in childhood we begin to remember days as seperate entities, Monday being different from Tuesday etc. I think its special when children don't recall the last day they saw but rather the emotion they remember you by. 4. Longer than (my) average hair is driving me nuts but I refuse to cut it.....yet 5.  Pity parties are worthless, costly, & over rated. Get over, you could be not living and then your worries would be reduced to the care of your soul... 6. I told you'd I'd call when something of merit occured.  7. I'm looking for a more p.c. replacement for odd man out. Any suggestions?? 8. Being told you possess untapped potential and actually tapping said poten...
