"O" my goodness!

That was a good title, huh?! :o) As you read the letter for the day is "o." A lot has happened this past weekend. One being that, as you all well know, Whitney Houston died. How sad. I am with everyone that it was a huge loss to the music scene. I remember listening to her when I was little. I LOVED the "I want to dance with," video. LOVED. IT! I wanted to be just like her. SO cool, and pretty. It was sad when she started to do drugs. As that is my job, not the doing drugs part but the counseling of users part,, I get to understand the addiction process and the process that heals as well. Addiction can hit anyone, in any manner. It's not just drugs. The website for NIDA (national institute on drugs and alcohol), is GREAT. I go to it often. There are so many new "designer" drugs out there now, that it is hard to keep up to date sometimes. At least, I will always have a job! Give the website a gander and if you have any questions, I'm always willing to answer and listen.

"N"

I wish today's letter was "L." Why, you ask? Because I wanted to talk about things being LAME, like me right now. The reason why I am LAME, is because I am S-I-C-K!!! I hate being sick. I have a headache that has been going on for DAYS, and am nauseous and other stuff... Now that I got that off my chest, on to the letter of the day!!!

Which, I got "NOTHING!" Until tomorrow...

M is for MEALS....

Yes, you read right! "M" is for meals, not Monday! :o) TOMORROW is my alaska nephews birthday. He turns 6. It's crazy! HE and his family have been in my life for 3 or 4 years now. I can't remember him NOT being in my life. He cracks me all the way up. He LOVES dinosaurs, and legos, and drawing, and attention, and lots of other things. He is so smart! While the Legislature is in town and in session, family dinners happen on Tuesday(normally they are on Wednesday). Yesterday we celebrated X's birthday with the family. It was great. He picked out the menu himself. Which leads me to meals... It was a good one filled with carbs and sodium. For a 6 year old's birthday, this is what we had:

Corn Dogs

Corn

Mac and cheese (Kraft of course!)

olives

applesauce

A peanut butter chocolate cake. (YUMMY)

It was a dream. I NEVER eat this stuff, and I have matured to frozen mac and cheese instead of the stuff from the blue box. I LOVE corn dogs. I normally brown paper bagged it during elementary school, except for those rare occasions I could get a school lunch. Corn dog day was one of those days!

What would you have picked when you were 6? Happy Birthday X! Until next time...
