Oprahs got one... so I want one too...

A list of favorite things...
but...
I am gonna alter it a bit... to a list of splurges, places to get gifts, and of course since food is so darned important around the holidays I am gonna throw in some of my fav places to get delicious foods!!!!

So.. if you can wait....
the fun starts next week!!!


I hope you all had a great Thanksgiving!!!


I know I did.
I got to see my niece and nephew...and Snow!!!

Living in LA....you dont get much snow...so that was exciting.

OMG... how to keep the state parks open now?

Did you vote?
I hope you did.

So... I am a bit upset at a certain prop in CA not being passed...
Prop 21...no not 19... 21.

Prop 21 was a tax on Californians to help keep State parks funded, so they can a. stay open, b. keep employees working at the parks, c. keep the parks clean and d. keep the parks safe.


In the last couple of years California politicians, have found ways to get out of the budget crisis... this is by cutting the State park budget.  This means that parks have been closed part time, and they have less employees.

Now... as a native to California I dont like that.....
I grew up going to these parks.  I want my kids to be able to go to these parks.

So what would have happened had 21 passed... is that Californians would have paid an extra $18 a year, and with that you got free admission and parking to any CA State park.
Now personally I dont think that is too much to pay... if you break it down its $1.50 a month....
$1.50 a month to keep jobs in CA
$1.50 a month to keep parks OPEN
$1.50 a month to keep parks clean
$1.50 a month to keep parks safe


So... because this didnt pass... I am now on "We must help the parks mode"
So... my friend Kelly showed me a link about how the parks in a crisis...and on that same site... I found a link to donate money to....

So here is the link... please DONATE!!!!!
and pass this link on... we need to keep the parks open.
How many of like to camp, like to hike, like to be out in the great outdoors?
Well.. the great outdoors needs your help.


so please donate...
or you can shop on their site...and buy goods that will help support the parks

So... I am still sick

I am beginning to think I have the plague.
I am gross....
I can't even function.

My poor hubby.... I left work early yesterday and he had to take care of me for most the afternoon into the night.... poor him.

So... here is the deal, I am not going to worry about my lack of posts this week... well... cause they are not gonna happen.

I just cant.

So there.

Its not like anybody is reading this anyway....


So... Happy Halloween...I think this year I am the DD.....cause even if by some miracle I do feel well enough to go to a party.... I am not drinking... I Cannot imagine bringing being drunk into this mix of sniffles, mucus, inhaler, Orang juice, Zicam, plugged ears, piles of kleenex...and everything else I got going on.


And because I can....
here is a funny picture of dogs trick or treating.

Sick

So... I am sick.
I hate being sick.
And I am at work.
I really hate being sick at work.
I just want to lie around under 5 blankets with some crazy holiday socks on... cause thats all I can find that matches lately... yesterday I was sporting green and white candycane socks... the day before... purple socks with spiders on them....

So.. I just want to lie around under 5 blankets with socks on and watch a cheesy movie, with some soup.
Cause right now... my head is feeling heavy, my nose goes from stuffy to running... stuffy to running... stuffy to running.
I am attempting to drown my illness out...
I think I have peed 10 times today... the hubby says I have to be careful not to get liquid poisoning... or whatever it is... where you drink to much you drown....
I am not worried.. cause I seem to be peeing constantly so I think I am good.


Anyways... Im sick and at work... and it sucks.
Happy Winter has finally arrived to you too.
Oh.. and

 ps- the hubby is taking really good care of me, spoiling me even... but he is the one who got me sick...
