My Mom and I went to the mall last night to escape the throng of kids at our door. The mall was packed with screaming, crying, laughing children of all ages. Some of the kids looked pretty old to be trick-or-treating. I figure when they tower over me they're too old. (lol)

They were dressed in every imaginable outfit. Lots of babies clad in tiger suit and angel outfits. Then there were the myriad of princesses. Little boys dressed as cowboys, superman, and a few power rangers thrown in for good measure.

Walking the mall I was struck by the mothers and father of today. Earrings in their noses, eyebrows, lips, tatoos or every size and shape...everywhere on their bodies. I said to my Mom, "I'm not sure who's scarier, the kids in their costumes, or their folks without costumes!" (lol)

For anyone who's been looking my websites over, you'll see some changes. As luck would have it, I met the most wonderful man 2 weeks ago. His name is Dean, and he's become very special to me. We met through one of my websites, and the rest as they say, "is history". (lol) We have so much in common. One thing being our love for webpage building, etc. I've been fortunate to have him impart some of his knowledge on me. Bit by bit my websites are changing and evolving into something with purpose and flow. There are times when I want to strangle him (lol), but I'm always appreciative of his talent, care, and expertise.

When someone special enters your life you have many different thoughts and feelings. I'm still sorting through my feelings for Dean. Between his help with my websites, his interest in helping eradicate FMS, and his caring and love for me....life is suddenly good again. The only down side to all of this is my lack of sleep. (lol) Thank God for free night and weekend minutes on my cell phone. With nightly phone calls averaging 2-4 hours, I need them! On that note I'm off to bed for a much needed nap.

The last few days I've been ripping and tearing apart my old web pages. My web pages represent the woman I once was, and the woman I've now become. My past is explored here in my online journal. My experiences in life are explored through Violence Has To Stop and FMS-CFIDS Resource. My interests are covered in Misty Designs and Misty's HTML Help.

I've learned a lot about myself over the years. Creating and updating my websites has enabled me to explore new paths in life, and to develop lasting friendships. One of those friendships is with a very special man in my life right now. He continues to amaze me with his intelligence, heart, and his capacity for love and caring. When we work together, as we have on some of my websites, we're like a finely tuned machine. We complement each other, and we are able to foresee what the other person will think and say next. It's almost like great sex, without getting naked. (grin)

Who knows where things will lead us in life. Only God seems to know the answer to that, and for some reason he isn't saying. I do know that my feelings for Dean grow with each breath I take. And I look forward to every moment we can spend together, talking, working, and just being.

Happy Thanksgiving

It's a chilly day here in south Florida. The temps this morning are hovering around 40 degrees. For us, that's quite cold. But it certainly helps to make it seem more like Thanksgiving. At least the ones I remember as a child.

My Mom and I have been up since 7:30 am, cooking and working around in the kitchen. We've been invited to my adopted sister's house for dinner today. Our contribution to the meal is scalloped oysters. We've also made crab dip for the appetizer. It's wonderful on potato chips!

This year more than ever, I'm thankful for the special people in my life. For my Mom, ever present and always full of love and kindness. For my brother Mark, my beacon of light. For my nephews and nieces, with their love and wonder. For my adopted sister Bobbie and her husband. Spending time with her, and getting to know her better has meant so much to me. For my friend Debbie. Her friendship, care, and love has helped me through my darkest hours, and I'm forever in her debt. And last but certainly not least, I'm thankful for Dean. His friendship, his companionship, his confidence in me, and his ever present love. He's helped to make my life complete.

I woke up this morning at 7 am, (after getting to bed at 3 am). We went to breakfast at Burger King, then came home and started in doing laundry. I helped strip my Mom's bed and remake it with fresh sheets. I started in cleaning her room while she was taking clothes out of the dryer. Making her bed creates so much dust, and with her bad asthma, she needs it spick and span in there.

I figured since we're having company this weekend, I might as well keep going with the rest of the house. I got the living room and dining room done before I ran completely out of gas. Considering I wasn't out of bed for more than a few hours all days yesterday I got alot done. I still need to dust the rest of the house and clean the bathrooms and mop floors. But that will have to wait for another day. I'm done in for today.
