Happy Thanksgiving!

Happy Thanksgiving everyone!
I hope you all take the time to enjoy this week. Have fun, and if you happen to be traveling, I hope your trip goes smoothly.

I thought I would list a few things I'm thankful for...some are serious...others, not so much :-P

• Starbucks on the way to work...caffine is always good
• Ugly Betty...it makes me laugh
• My job...it pays the bills and I actually like it
• Highpoint Church...a church that feels like home
• The Dog...he's always happy to see me
• My family...even though we drive each other nuts sometimes
• Jesus...for loving, and caring, and being my strength these last few months

Oh for heaven's sake...

It was , I think, 25 degrees or something this morning. Not too bad, Minnesota wise.


My car groaned when I started it, and it's only November...



THAT'S IT!!!! I am packing up and moving to Maui...any takers??

Take that Pioneer Press!

The Lion King is back, after it's triumphant opening in the twin cities 10 years ago, it's back for a 10th aniversary tour. There was an article in the Pioneer press a few days ago that talked about it becoming part of theatrical history, a show that will not be able to live on in spectacle alone. http://www.twincities.com/stage/ci_7302138?nclick_check=1

I went to see the Lion King at the Orpheum yesterday. Of course I have seen pictures of the costumes and heard about how great it was. Therefore, I thought I was prepared for what I was about to experience.

Boy was I wrong.

You guys, the curtain went up for the opening number...

I was moved to tears it was so gorgeous and incredible.

But beyond that, I felt the story and music still has something relevant to say. I, for one, would see it over and over again just to enjoy the experience. And if you haven't seen it yet...what on earth are you waiting for??

Have you gotten your flu shot??

It's that time of year again...cold and flu season!!! Hooray!

(well maybe if you happen to be a drug company you'd be excited...)

As a nurse, I can not say this often enough: Go and get a flu shot!

I got mine today, it wasn't that bad, honestly. The only problem is trying to keep your Dad from socking you in the arm afterwards. Not pleasant, I'll have to take care of him later.

But seriously, one little poke will potentially save you all kinds of money that you would otherwise spend on thera-flu and tylenol and all that other fun, nasty tasting stuff.

So, suck it up, shots aren't that bad... :-P
