Isn’t that always the question? Well, no, it isn’t actually, that was kind of a silly thing for me to ask. I apologize. ANYway…

Things have been busy people. Per usual right? I feel a little tiny bit disheartened right now and instead of wallowing in my tough of disheartenment, I thought I should get on here and update this here blog! No more feeling sorry for myself or what have you. POST! UPDATE! FILL THE PEOPLE IN!!!

So tonight I took a small break. In that break (that became a touch larger than small) I watched Swing Vote. I’d been excited about it when it came out in the theatre, but I’m pretty sure it didn’t do to well. I watched it online with netflix. Know what? I LIKED it! I thought it was great. I thought it brought up a LOT of good points. A lot of points that are really important RIGHT NOW.

Like how one persons vote, can and DOES make a difference! We are seeing just how much power the “popular vote” is getting right now, and if that isn’t proof enough of how important it is to stand up for what you believe in by voting on the issues, I don’t know what else is.

So yeah, Swing Vote. It was oozing with sentimentality and I loved every single drop of it! It made me smile, it made me tear up, it made me angry and happy…if you haven’t seen it, give it a go. It’s kind of one of those feel good American movies…kind of.

So what else…well, Sasha has been heavy on my mind. She’s still not doing very well. Not very well at all. I’ll be honest here, it’s breaking my heart a little. Recently, her mood has changed…she’s still eating (a little) and she isn’t hiding from me yet, but there is something in my heart/stomach that keeps warning me that I might not have much more time left with my baby. And that just kills me a little more every single minute of every day. Right now I’ve got her curled up on my lap as I type this and I think, what happens when there is no more Sasha to curl up on my lap when I update my blog?

It’s not a pretty or happy thought. She’s my little baby, I love her so. 5 1/2 years ago she came into my life, forever altering it (for the better) and I’m thankful for every moment I’ve had with her thus far. I continue to hope that I have much more time with her than I fear and that I’m just being silly thinking otherwise.

However, if you’re the praying type, I don’t think anyoone would be upset if you offered some up for my little pumpkin.

What else, what else? Well, things have been kinda weird and stressful for all my friends and family lately. My great aunt lost her step-son in the Fort Hood shootings, true tragedy. She’s absolutely heart sick about it (as we all are…) A few more people I know have lost their jobs. People are breaking up left and right around me… Last week they left 24 hours off my paycheck which was quite unnerving… And much more…

But it’s not ALL doom and gloom, man, listen to me! There has also been some great happiness too!!! I met some really great people last night at another friends birthday dinner! I picked up a fun hair piece that gives me long lovely locks that look pretty natural! Sasha IS still alive and wish us!!! I have incredible friends! School is steadily moving along… AND, today I actually got excited about my birthday!! I hadn’t really thought too much about it (I think once ya hit 30 there’s no major markers till 35 and 40 or so right?) but today I was sort of working out the details of what my special day will be and I really got excited about it. It will be a birthday like none I’ve had in a very long while! Just me and a sweetie for dinner and down time…oh yes, and a night cap (or three). Sounds absolutely perfect, and I cannot wait!

In the meanwhile, I’ve got Thanksgiving to look forward to, A Turkey Trot to run, an art grant to write, a volleyball game to win, some snuggles to be shared, hang out time with one of my besties, catch up time with others, holiday gifts to make and finish, holiday cards to write and send out and so much more, it’s hard to list it all out!

I also have NEW MOON to look forward to, and Pirate Radio…and Precious! GREAT MOVIES TO WATCH (finally) and of course holiday standbys to get excited about like Pieces of April, A Christmas Story and Love Actually!!! Oh, I’m quite excited about this holiday season too. I’m really sure why, but I am. It will be a good one, I just know it. Can’t wait to pick up my little tree and decorate it! OH YAY FOR HOLIDAY CHEER!!!

Sorry this post is kinda boring and lame. Didn’t know what to write about, but wanted to get on here and post SOMETHING.

Hope everyone out there is better than well. Remeber that today is a gift and try to treat it as such. Love thy neighbor, and LOVE THY SELF!!!

Cheers,
Devin
