And I spent lunch, actually eating and reading a pretty good story! Fed the tummy, and the brain! ahhhhh 😀

oooh need more coffee!

LOL I forgot…

I’m also thankful for my creativity, I had fun this morning. Woke up, and decided what the who, Selfie time! LOL and then I played around with it, and you can see the result in my gravatar photo. It’s so me! 😀 Hello Kitty, Tokidoki and yeah, me! LOL

I love being creative with pix… if ya’ll want… post a link to a picture that I can play with, and I’ll post it in a Pick UP post!

okay… countdown has started for lunch, my stomach is growling, yep. I need to eat!

xoxo

ps- still working on that podcast thingie too… but… by now that topic is way off, so… stay tuned for a pod cast you tube thingie hopefully this weekend! The topic will probably be more than likely NaNoWriMo. Leave your comments, questions.

*Ponder ponder*

It has taken me a bit to think of something that I am thankful for today, and not fall back on platitudes. So yes, I’ve been pondering, and this is what I’ve come up with.

I’m thankful when my colleague/team mate is here. I’m thankful that I’m considered a flexible person, which is much nicer than the same person that once said I have “An attitude.” Honestly, my attitude is a reflection of the attitude that is given to me. Therapy technique 101- mirroring. LOL 😀 By the way, they are the one that told me they are thankful that I’m a flexible person. Weirdness…get to know a person before judging or labeling them. I am an introvert with moments of extravortism. LOL I can be social but it’s more when I want to be. And now ya’ll know why I love kitties so much, I have some things in common with them; naps, food, coffee ok- catnip to them, and I’ll play when I want to play. LOL :p

I’m also thankful that the NANO counter was reset, and it seems to be working. One of my lovely followers here left me a comment about an app, but I couldn’t find it in the app store on itunes. oops 😦  I’m also thankful that I have been rereading my own story and doing corrections on the go. I’m still seeking a beta reader for it. AKA a proof reader.

I’m still trying to upload the calendar for the month unfortunately, I’m here by myself today, and so… work comes first. Writing, uploading and being creative have to wait until I have a bit of a moment to do something.  Right now, I’m hoping that I get a lunch! LOL 😀

so until later, have a beautiful day! Think of something that you are thankful for. And really, think about it… most of us can pop off from the top of head; family, friends, job, etc…. but from here on out, I’m thinking of trying to add some depth to my thankful thoughts. I’ll still pop off from the top of my head, it’s human nature.

XOXO

Calendar day; November 5, 2014

Wednesday, the 5th of November, 2014 is the 309th day in 2014 and in the 45th calendar week.

General Events:

Bonfire Night 2014
November 5, 2014 in Great Britain

Bonfire Night, also known as Guy Fawkes Night, is celebrated on November 05, 2014. Guy Fawkes Day and Firework Night, is an annual commemoration primarily in Great Britain. Its history begins with the events of 5 November 1605, when Guy Fawkes, a member of the Gunpowder Plot, was arrested while guarding explosives the plotters had placed beneath the House of Lords.

Celebrating the fact that King James I had survived the attempt on his life, people lit bonfires around London, and months later the introduction of the Observance of 5th November Act enforced an annual public day of thanksgiving for the plot’s failure.

Bonfire Night celebrations can pose a risk to public safety due to the possibility of fires, injuries, or fights. In parts of the Caribbean, laws banning fireworks and explosives have muted the occasion, and safety concerns in New Zealand have resulted in similar sales restrictions, although public firework displays remain popular there.
