Thanksgiving.
These last few days were exactly what I needed.
First and foremost, I traveled to Las Vegas with my S.O., where we spent two days with my incredible friends, BJ and James. BJ had only arrived that day, and James had been exploring the world of teaching in LV, so I am hoping the experience was relaxing for them as well.
On Thursday, we celebrated with a turkey, a bit of wine, and a visit to Cirque du Soleil's 'Mystere', the tickets a present from me to Joe for his birthday. It was a fantastic show, but I will say that anywhere you sit in that theatre is a good seat. Nothing missed.
Afterwards we were all pretty pooped - BJ the most, the poor boy, who had spent the better part of a day and night awake and traveling - and crashed. The following day we chatted, visited a psychic, had dinner, whipped up a new 'Xmas' picture, and chatted some more. Well, and there was the whole 'falling at the Palms' incident, but anyone who knows me knows I am an utter clutz, and can imagine the picture with me explaining it.
I really, really, really had a good time. It was nice to see two of my best friends in relatively good health. I miss them already.

Motherhood
This is exactly the quality I have seen in my sister, have admired in my sister since I was far younger... a quality that is natural to her, but not natural to many I meet. In her post, she says,
"My mother always told me that I wouldn't understand why she did things and how I couldn't possibly love her as much as she loves me. By god, she was righ! Of course I fought her all of the way. Believing that she was cruel for not letting me do the things I wanted to, and believing that I loved her as much as any one person could. I truly know now what she was talking about. I was in love with my child from the second I felt him move inside of my belly, but could not have prepared for the amount of love I would have when he was born. Holy Cow! The amount of fear of all the things that could happen to this little soul and the amount of joy I take in every little new thing he does pleases and scares me to no end. Unconditional...there is no other word for it.
'The moment a child is born, the mother is also born. She never existed before. The woman existed, but the mother, never. A mother is something absolutely new.'- Rajneesh"
I admire my sister for many, many things. Her ability to be a mother - which encompasses more than there mere statement, is one of the greatest, incomprehensible, and admirable things about her.

Fucking Republicans Fucking Us
So get this: the Republican National Comittee has paid a group to make calls for them (not uncommon in this day and age) in 53 different congressional districts. Though instead of calling to talk about the Republican candidate, they call and say "I'm calling you to talk about
The effect of this is that the individual being harassed believes that it's the Democrat's campaign doing the harassing, because all they hear on the other end of the line is the Democrat's name.
Oh, this is clever.
The NRCC, being the soulless corrupt whores that they are have officially stated that this is "a complicated legal question that's not going to get adjudicated this weekend". Which is utter bullshit because political callers are required to identify who they are calling on behalf of as soon as the call is picked up or face being fined up to $5,000 / call.
