Recap

After a session with my doctor I had an epiphany. Not sure if the results are good or bad...not sure if I'm doing the right thing. It doesn't feel right. I forgot to ask when it was supposed to feel okay. Note to self, ask when it's going to feel better.

Rebecca & I decorated my house throughout. Candles everywhere, lights everywhere...bring on the holidays! My Charlie Brown Christmas tree is adoreable! Isaiah and Chandler have made a handful of the ornaments. Kennedy, Emma & Leanne are going to contribute this year as well.

I spent Saturday shopping. "The Audacity of Hope" by Obama is absolutely fabulous! He's a man of faith. He gives us hope in an otherwise hopeless world. Love it, love it, love it! Needless to say a lot of people on my Christmas list are going to be getting this fabulous read.

Today was a normal tuesday at the crackhead's house. At times I feel sorry for her because she's either "blowing" her money away or sending it up in "smoke." Yes, the lush partied hard this weekend and was really upset @ Becca because she'd rather spend time with her own kids as opposed to being a crackwhore. Call her crazy!

I also did my charity for the week. Together, Becca & I went to the grocery store and bought a family everything they would need for dinner on Thanksgiving, the turkey, oysters, all the trimmings and a bottle of wine. It felt good to be able to give back to someone who wouldn't be able to have dinner otherwise.

I'm helping my mom with Thanksgiving. It's going to be at my house...I can't wait actually...fun times. I invited some friends over because it's just the two of them, my mother makes enough food for an army and we would love the company of our neighbors. And for your dining pleasure...
