Yes... This Is Really Happening

Hmmm. I'm in a bit of a funky mood. I'm not sure it's a mood that I should be blogging in.... but what the heck. It's never stopped me before.

Tonight I'll just say that I'm thankful. I'm thankful for my family. I'm thankful for my friends. I'm thankful for my friends that are my family. Although at times relationships can be difficult, tedious, disappointing, and down right uncomfortable... I'm a firm believer that it's almost always worth the work.

As I sit here a bit perturbed, I can be simultaneously thankful. Because even though I'm annoyed.... you're worth the work. I hope you feel the same about me.

So.... YOU (reader). What are you to me? Are you my family??? Are you my friend??? Are you my friend that is my family??? What is your role? Do you know it?

Relationships. sigh. Are you as disturbed reading this as I am writing it???

(if someone has a picture of me with a grouchy face email it to me and I'll post it with this blog..... it's the only photo that would feel right)

I think I showed you a great picture tonight! Look at my albums on facebook. Super Bowl Party! There you are!

I love you Chelle!! Thank you for blogging when you are in a not perfect mood! I like these posts!

I consider myself a friend and a family member...

Remember when you first moved here? You have to adopt the annoying, lonely single girl! You don't have enough kids!! :)

Thank you for reminding me that relationships even when hard are worth it.

I love this post. It is so you. REAL! I love you. I would like to say that I am a friend that is family. I better be. If not then I am not babysitting for you anymore. Just kidding. I can't punish those beautiful children. They deserve me in their lives. (Wow! I did just type that) I will look for a picture. I have to have one somewhere!!

You're my friend, my family and my L-U-V-A. Say it with me won't you , LUVA, L-U-V-A. Intoxicating isn't it?

Love you Babe, even when you're not blog bubbly. Honesty always wins the day. I think I can speak on behalf of your readers by quoting the Prophet Joel (Billy) - "Don't go changin, just to please me."

I'm your Princess Teddy Bear, and I wouldn't have it any other way.

I am your humble buzz skipping chicken flipping porch toad. And though I am unsure of my place, you always seem to tell me where to go.

I love your warts.
