Novemeber 30th Already.....
I can't believe I've posted all month every day and it wasn't even all that traumatic. For me, that is. I'm glad I did it. So glad, in fact, that I'm not going to stop blogging everyday, for now anyway. I know that if I let myself think it's okay to stop blogging, I will, well, stop blogging and go back to posting so sporadically that my friends eventually start leaving me nasty phone messages along the lines of "blog, damnit". Not pretty, I assure you. So for now, consider this experiment officially NOT over. I'll see how long I can keep this up, and you will be forced to come and look everyday if only to see how giddy it will get over here. Mmmm, bloggy goodness.
I thought, though, that today I would treat you to a list. I know -YAY! This list will be comprised of things I like and dislike. Kind of a "what's hot and what's not" in the world of me. Oh, how scintillating.
Here's the like (in no particular order):
-The first cup of coffee in the morning. Somehow that first one tastes the best.
-The sound of my boys laughing with complete abandon.
-The sound of rain on the roof.
-Getting snowed in.
-A glass of red wine at the end of a hectic (aren't they all?) day.
-Hot showers.
-Movies (oh let's face it, and sometimes commercials) that make me cry.
-Selflessness.
-Cheese. Really, any kind is fine.
-The kind of comfortable silence you can have with someone you know really well.
-Songs that inspire me.
-Humility. The kind that isn't afraid to say 'sorry', to stand corrected without defensiveness and anger. Maybe I admire this one so much because I'm still learning it myself.
-Sunshine.
-Really good bread.
The no-likey:
-Arrogance.
-The sound of people fighting.
-Dry toast.
-Stale coffee.
-Self-sabatoge.
-Money. And with it the accompanying greed.
-Wounds. Be they physical, spiritual, or emotional.
-Lack of self-discipline (in myself, in particular).
-Clutter (and yet, mysteriously, I seem to have a generous portion of that over here).
-Being made to feel stupid.
Thanks again to everyone who stopped by this month and encouraged me to forge on. I have felt your love in no small way. I will be making my little "prize draw" this weekend. Hopefully by tomorrow I'll be able to post a picture of my completed project. I'm going to assume that most of my regular readers, most of whom I know personally, want to be included in the giveaway. For anyone else who would like to, aww heck, even if you are just a lurker too shy to post a comment, send an email along in the next day (or two, no later than Sunday Dec. 3) to fabricatedgoddess (at) yahoo (dot) ca and I'll throw your name into the hat.

I love the comfortable silence thing too. It's says a lot about a friendship. And, I hate being made to feel stupid. I agree with all of the things on your lists.
Yay! I'm happy you're still going to post even though your months is up. Thanks!

It's amazing how those things that are familiar make us feel secure and comfortable. It's good to have those things in your life for the easy times and the not-so-easy times. Good for you for achieving your goal! I will keep reading (and laughing)and can't wait to see the prize!
