be ye

thankful.

for all things.


there are always some kooky delightful moments whenever families get together. it's a good thing too because most days are so drab that we forget how wonderful the zany times can be.
throw in a few butt-smacks, well-placed sarcastic digs, corny jokes where everyone groans and a long day full of good food, and life just doesn't get much better.

all this holiday is making me feel nostalgic about this coming Christmas. which is weird, because it hasn't happened yet. I just feel like it's going to be one to be nostalgic about for the rest of our lives, like the signal of an end to an era, a grand dynasty... and it's making me sort of melancholy and wistful for the past that it's going to be.

illogical, perhaps, but quite true.

I'm nostalgic for the future, and contented with the present.

this is a good life, to be sure, but for some reason the future seems like it's going to be even better.


what is this? could it be a sign of optimism... from ME?
to be sure.
a strange thing, but a good thing.


here's to a nostalgic-worthy tomorrow!

cut the red wire?

Sometimes I forget that I have a band that people listen to, until things like this happen.

Weird.

A true blessing

After reading your dream I was so overcome with joy and delight that I feel any words of gratitude would fall short...So in return I give you the gift of the picture below...Enjoy

set your sails...

Next week we'll be mailing about 100 boutiques in the U.S. with our winter catalog of shirt designs. Andy's been slaving all week (with my intense spurring) to pump out lots of new designs and I must say I'm pretty excited about it all. The designs are looking good, the catalog is looking good and I'm hoping that we'll get at least a 10% response... but 50% would be great too... or 75%.... aiming high - indeed.

It would be really great to have some income.

If anyone wants a copy of a the catalog, I'm sure we could work something out and offer our wholesale rates to our dearest friends and family... :)

Just think... you could look like this (minus the obnoxious necklace:

It's pretty great - n'est pas?

*sigh*

I guess it had to happen sooner or later. (the election that is)

I voted for the first time - but I'm not telling anyone who I voted for. That's why they put you in a private little booth - for secrecy.

But I will tell you that 1/2 of the offices I voted for won.

And I thought McCain's concession speech was very gracious. And Obama's acceptance speech was starkly emotionless. Does that guy ever get even a little angry or delighted? Seriously.

And I wish Andy would let me get a new puppy like Obama is letting his kids. *sigh*


And in sum....... come, Lord Jesus, come.
