Today i found out that christmas tree brownies are on sale. which inevitably means that their delicious cousins, the christmas tree *cakes*, are on sale. which is fantastic news. green sprinkles and oh-so-tasty... and don't let anyone try to tell you they taste the same as zebra cakes.  they don't. they are so much better. it's that time of year, again everyone.  it's christmas-tree-cake season.  also - lets-play-christmas-music-before-thanksgiving season.

however, i shall continue to call it Christmas-tree-cake season. because they don't make cakes shaped like turkeys or pilgrims or really big boats.

oh look! im actually posting on the right day.

this weekend, stella got her groove back.  by stella i mean my car. and by groove back, i mean she is no longer sickly.

obviously, i am super thankful for this. because sharing a car with your sister (who is much shorter than you which requires constant readjusting of the seats) can be a hassle. [love you still, seester. you can't help it that you're short]. <3

(ps - when we're super old, i call dibs on the navy sweater.)

Nov. 6

Thankful for dresses with pockets.
And mommies who take care of you when you're sickly.

And "mom-bags" - you know: those catch all Mary-Poppins-esque bags that can produce anything from fingernail clippers to reese cups to allergy meds to candy apples.  You wish your mom was this cool.

Nov 5.

Today, I am thankful for chubby cheeked babies. And homemade taco shells. And naps.

Double whammy photo: cutesy baby napping. You're welcome.

more catching up.

November 4 - I am so unbelievably grateful for amazing friends. The ones who push you to do the hard things because thats what you need.  And have little packets of kleenex in their purses. And let you use every last one.

November 3

cancelled clinicals. not waking up at 0530. awesome.

November 2

Nov. 2 - I am thankful for left over halloween candy provided by my 5 year old cousins.  Highlight of my whole day. Silly? yes. Simple joys, man. Simple joys...

so i'm a little late to this game...

The whole concept of "Thankful in November" posts just made it to my attention.  I think I'll give it a shot. But, it seems that I have some catching up to do.  So, I'm going to be totally dorky and put up posts for the days I've missed so far.  I'll make this November 1st's entry.

November 1 - I am thankful for hospital release dates.  Dad came come from a short vacation to the hospital today.  And, he's doing better. :)

And then the day came,
when the risk
to remain tight
in a bud
was more painful
than the risk
it took
to blossom.

but then- you assure me

I feel like, I would like
To be somewhere else doing something that matters
And I'll admit here, while I sit here
My mind wastes away and my doubts start to gather

Whats the purpose? It feels worthless
So unwanted like I've lost all my value
I can't find it, not in the least bit
and I'm just scared, so scared that I'll fail you

And sometimes I think that I'm not any good at all
And sometimes I wonder why, why I'm even here at all
But then you assure me

I'm a little more than useless
And when I think that I can't do this
You promise me that I'll get through this
And do something right
Do something right for once

So I say if I can't, do something significant
I'll opt to leave most opportunities wasted
And nothing trivial, that life could give me will
Measure up to what might have replaced it

Too late look, my date book
Is packed full of days that were empty and now gone
And I bet, that regret
Will prove to get me to improve in the long run

And sometimes I think that I'm not any good at all
And sometimes I wonder why, why I'm even here at all
But then you assure me

I'm a little more than useless
And when I think that I can't do this
You promise me that I'll get through this
And do something right
Do something right for once

I'm a little more than useless
And I never knew I knew this
Was gonna the day, gonna be the day
That I would do something right
Do something right for once

I notice, I know this
Week is a symbol of how I use my time
Resent it, I spent it
Convincing myself the world's doing just fine
Without me
Doing anything of any consequence
Without me
Showing any sign of ever making sense
Of my time , it's my life
And my right, to use it like I should
Like he would, for the good
Of everything that I would ever know

I'm a little more than useless
When I think that I can't do this
You promise me that I'll get through this
And do something right
Do something right for once

I'm a little more than useless
And I never knew I knew this
Was gonna the day, gonna be the day
That I would do something right
Do something right for once
