Already the end of November. It’s odd and still amazing how time quickly flies by. And then I look back at all the things I resolved to do at the beginning of the year, and I’m disappointed in myself. Oh well, I suppose that’s what the next year is for. And now I have a list – hopefully I don’t just let the next three years slip by without crossing off items on the list.

We had our family Thanksgiving dinner tonight. Spent most of the evening on the Wii Fit, followed by karaoke. I’m horrible at karaoke.

The list is finally up. See side bar. Wish me luck!

While it is my belief that one should be thankful for the people, things, and circumstances in life every single day, it always gives me the warm fuzzies this time of year. For the folks who do not or are unable to express their gratitude all the time, it’s their chance.

Anyway, this Thanksgiving and of course, every day, I am thankful for: family, friends, good health, security and stability, RV, a paying job, San Francisco, etc. So much has changed from one year to the next. I am thankful for that because it only gets better and better.

This Thanksgiving was very mellow, compared to previous years. We didn’t go out. There wasn’t a giant family dinner. We’re doing that in a few nights. Actually, in the morning, a bunch of us went to the San Francisco Food Bank to volunteer. Hooray for packing beans for those in need!

It was also my sister’s birthday. We basically celebrated the evening before, so today’s lack of activity wasn’t so bad.

I am absolutely drained from work, and it is nice to step away. I need it so badly.

From Freewill Astrology:
The wife of French president Nicolas Sarkozy loves how smart her husband is. The New York Times’ Maureen Dowd quotes Carla Bruni-Sarkozy as saying, “He has five or six brains which are remarkably irrigated.” I suspect that description will apply to you in the coming weeks, Libra. Even if you have had just one brain up until now, you will seem, at least temporarily, to have as many as six bright facets to your intelligence. I advise you to sic this superpower on complex dilemmas that have baffled you for many moons. You’ll have an excellent chance to break them down into component parts and solve the hell out of them.

Ooh, five or six brains?! Wow!

If you know that someone’s lied to you, do you confront them?

Do you just pretend it never happened?

Do you make waves or keep the waters calm?

Do you let them get away with thinking you’re stupid enough to be lied to?

Liar Liar.

Perhaps it wasn’t meant to be a lie.

Perhaps they just didn’t have their facts straight.

Do you give them the benefit of the doubt?

I had a vivid dream this morning. I forgot it as soon as I awoke.

It was a classroom where my father was the teacher. There was an assignment to give a presentation, and apparently I was late to class. I had to give the presentation upon hearing the topic, somewhat impromptu, but they were going to give me minutes to prepare. Each group had a topic selected specifically for them, but I did not have a group. I seemed rather confident that I would be able to give the presentation right away, but I end up just leaving for whatever reason. The outside was a video game environment with monsters shooting at me.

It seems weird that I’d be ready to give a presentation when in reality, I hate public speaking. Monsters shooting at me? How realistic – hah! When I awoke, I thought about trying to remember the dream, but I didn’t have anything nearby to jot down the notes. I also did not make a conscious effort while dreaming to remember the details. Practice makes perfect!

Oh, and I was sleeping on the new bed. After we got back from RV’s mom’s house, we spent another few hours putting the pieces together. Ikea needs to send parts that fit! Ugh! We were probably stuck on one particular corner because the pieces weren’t made properly, so they weren’t fitting. After we finally finished up at 2am, I collapsed in the new bed, and RV drove home sick.

Six hours on building this bed. Ick.

Meet the Fjelldal from Ikea. This is the new addition to my room. Of course, it’s a monstrosity. It came in two boxes, one weighing 120 pounds… At least I know it’s sturdy? There was another option made of metal, but when we moved it around in the store, it made some scary squeaky sounds.

RV, my dad, and I worked on putting part of it together this afternoon, but we’re heading over to RV’s mom’s for dinner. So we’ll finish when we come back.

My room is a mess as a result. Not that it wasn’t a mess before, but this is making me move the dust around more. My sinuses are hating me. It will be such a relief to sort this room out!

#74 of 101 in 1001!

Starting a new category since I want to keep track of dreams… It’s part of the 101 things to do.

We [mom, sister, and I] were inside an Anthropologie store, shopping for who knows what. I noticed two women wearing the same dress that I had bought awhile back and had worn at least twice. I made comments to my sister about the dresses being the same. I then later realized that the store could still be selling the particular dress and that they were both wandering the stores after having tried them on, but whatever… The store was closing – probably for the day and not forever.

Why am I dreaming about shopping? Or having the same clothing? It might mean nothing at all.

I wish I’d taken notes earlier, but I woke up and did a few things before I remembered to jot down notes about the dream.

It really upsets me when I spend all day waiting to hear back from someone, so that I can do work, and they don’t even send me what I need. And then in turn, it makes me unreliable to the person I am reporting to.

Ugh! :/
