I have an abundance of both.

November has been an awesome month!

I've been able to meet some of my fave people out there.

Such as the top 12 dancers from So You Think You Can Dance from season 5!

A couple of weeks ago I was able to have lunch with them

and they are all super fun and nice.

It was the first season I've seen of the show, and I loved it!

BIG fan of the dancing.

& I owe a BIG thanks to my work girls, kls & kaw, for introducing me to the show

and for dancing around the living room with me afterwards.

My fave dance of the season:

And this one. Both faves:

If anyone has seen someone battle severe addiction, like unfortunately I have,

they know how powerful and truthful this dance is.

Jolly Good

yay turkey.
yay mashed potatoes.
yay new found love for cranberry sauce.

Thanksgiving, please hurry up!

Also!
My grood friend Hilary told me when she was at the gym today
(which apparently is a place people go instead blogging or eating chocolate, news to me!)
she spotted me on The Today Show!
Remember when I blogged about this?
And then I posted this from local NBC?

What did I tell you?
Superheroes.

Thanks Malia for discovering this!

blissfest

me and the girls went to blissfest 2009

twas a grand ol' time!

husband stopped by!

& nienie was there!

This is a family of real life super heroes.

What they have been through is tragic,

what they have brought forth from it is miraculous.

I'm so grateful to have been able to witness that kind of strength

even from afar.

I don't mean to set them on a pedestal,

because I know we all have our trials

and we don't always handle them

with 100% grace,

but this family, well, they're super heroes!

& pretty much couldn't even get out 'hello' before I started crying.

& then I impressively began to babble.

But, they were very kind.

Is there any point in posting this link?

Because I'm pretty sure everyone in the world already loves these guys.
