Little Fire

As I sit here in this lovely snow white day I realized why we are given sunny days in the winter so that most people don't end up going crazy. Plus it looks really pretty. Sorry for the infrequent postings. We the writers here at Blake Got Fat have had some issues come up lately that have taken us away from our jobs of entertaining you. For which we apologize.

But check back with us.

We always appreciate the visits!

HEAT! NEED HEAT!

You know what I'm thankful for today? Heat. This is round two of camping indoors with no heat. I would be fine with this fact if the power was out but I have the latest statement from Rocky Mountain Power showing that I paid my bill so I should be frolicking in 60 degree heat yes? No. Lets try forty two degrees and I'm camped out in my bed (aka my own version of the fortress of solitude. Shut up) with the electric blanket turned up to high, my flannel sheets, down comforter, a quilt, another quilt and the mini down comforter on top of that. With my two beanies and down coat and marker gloves and two pairs of smart wool socks. So I am very toasty.

It's rather nice.

Reading books and facebook stalking. I don't think I'm going to get out of bed. I mean really? Why? I've got everything I need here and since its so cold I took all my food out of my fridge and placed it on my nightstand so I can have a snack whenever I want one. This is brilliant! I is genius!

Wait.

It's thanksgiving.

Crap.

That means I'm going to have to get out at some point huh.

Oh well. Happy Thanksgiving.

Snow! Snow! Snow?

It's snowing! I don't know whether to be excited or sad.

Forget You

I feel like saying to people yo. what up.

I feel like standing up and Hello.

Cause I'm here.

And your there.

I guess November is the month where everybody takes time off from their blogs and facebook and actually go live life for a little while. That and I had to go conquer the laundry mountain, the dirty dish fountain, and the shower where the dirty went to die.

Plus working a couple of doubles makes you go what is life? Oh wait. Its work.

But things are better.

So yo. what up?

Let's Get Together And Feel Alright.

I've declared war on the cold. I'm hiding in my apartment with a hot rice bag, electric blanket, and three blankets on top of that. A little much? Maybe. But when you have electric heat and a tight budget one learns to get creative.

That's why for the last three days I've been in hibernation. Though I look outside and see the pretty fall colors and I yet I say no. No. No. And everybody now they tried to make me go to rehab but I say NO No No! sorry but it was stuck in my head.

Things are gearing up for my favorite holiday of lowered expectations. To Thanksgiving the holiday where you eat one meal, clean up said meal and sleep. No presents. No Music. No crazy seizure inducing lights. Is there nothing better? Don't forget dear friends there is a holiday between Halloween and Christmas. Stand up for it. Blog about it. Save me from Mariah Carrey and her new Christmas album!

Please?

Plus the prince got his mission call tonight.

Fort Worth Texas.

English Speaking.

Thankful

Today I will be thankful.

I will share my gratitude.

With those I see.

I will be thankful for a chance to be able see.

and somewhat hear.

Thankful am I.

for family, friends and hearth.

Thankful for life that blooms and life that is lived long.

Blessed am I?

I will never tell.

This will be my small hymn of grateful praise.

SuperGirl aka the Ballad of the Little Aunt.

Yes I've used this picture before and yes she does wear evening wear all the time. I mean whenever I've surprised her with a surprised jaunt up to Sun Valley she's cleaning the house or gardening in one of her evening gowns. She's just funny that way. (I'm joking about the evening gowns.)

I dearly love my little aunt. She has such a deep love of the outdoors and being active. She is very warm and caring. Every year she sends the best birthday cards in her beautiful handwriting. OH! and her love of music is unparalleled. She's quite the celebrity on the radios up in Idaho playing name that tune she has several aliases which have won all of us very nice prizes.

Which is why I am so grateful to dear friends who were able to get her to the hospital on Thursday. While mountain biking she hit a rough patch and broke both elbows, bruised some hips and tweaked her ankle. So she' coming home to roost and mend for a while.

I'll keep you posted.
