Finally back
Oh my goodness, it has been a very long time since I have blogged. So much have happened while I have been gone. Not the least of which is that I am almost 5 months into transition. There's too much to explain in one post. So expect more to come. Glad to be back. :)

Every family usually has one person or group of people who take care of Thanksgiving dinner. Who was that when you were growing up and who is it now?
All my life my Grandmother, my mom's mom, has prepared our Thanksgiving dinners. All the family gathers at her house. She loves doing it and will only take a little bbit of help in the kitchen. Early this year, she had a stroke and lost movement of her left arm and leg. She has been in a nursing home since then. This year, we will go visit her on Thanksgiving, then probably go to Golden Corral to eat (blah). It's very hard to think about her not being able to fix the big family dinner. It makes me so sad. I can't do it this year, but maybe I will take over the Thanksgiving duties next year.

What are your most favorite smells of the Holidays????
I would have to say some of my favorite smells are the holiday lattes at Starbucks. I love the pumpkin spice, the eggnog, and the peppermint lattes. I wait all year for them to come back during the holidays.

What's at the top of your Christmas wish list right now? Not something you NEED but something you really WANT!
What I really want now is a newer car. I love my Saturn and my Jeep, but they both have over 200,000 miles on them. I would love to have something maybe a few years old, that is completely reliable and comfortable. I will not be able to afford anything for a while, but maybe sometime next year I can.

If you could go back and have a re-do on one thing, what would it be?
There are many things that at first thought I would love to change. Many actions toward others and especially to myself. But then I think about it, everything that has happened has brought me to this point. Things may have been better if I could change things, but it could also be the one little change that would cause me not to be here at all right now. I would not want to risk doing something that may have ended my life prematurely, butterfly effect. I am here now and only looking toward the future. :)
