Luckily my job has a lot to do with getting me out of my shell. I’m not sure where I’d be sometimes without it. I’m forced to interact with hundreds of people every day and it definitely helps. Even on the days I feel I might be struggling a little I have no choice but to open up and that’s a good thing. Thank you! I would imagine it’s much tougher for them now given modern technology. But like you say, there is a price for fame unfortunately. I’m not sure how I would deal with it to be honest, considering how private a life I tend to lead. You certainly do! This year alone you’ve done very well with all the Dallas stars you’ve met. I loved your story about meeting Patrick and how generous he seemed with his time, especially hearing how nice he was to your son. That was nice to read. Kind of a funny story I’m a little embarrassed to tell but I’ve been delivering to this one fancy house for a couple of years. Nicest people. I’ll chat with both the husband and the wife, whoever answers. Two of the nicest, down to earth people I’ve ever met. Little did I know that he’s a drummer for a very famous band. One of the drivers that used to go there told me one time and of course I felt like an idiot. So maybe I do better talking to celebrities when I don’t know who they are yet LOLThere’s no way I can ever say that any better. Nothing irks me more than feeling unappreciated. I will thank someone time and time again when they go out of their way to do something kind for me. I probably thank them so much that I end up getting on their nerves but that’s just me. This sounds fun! There’s nothing like a good fireworks show. I hope you get that time off. HA HA!! I know what you mean. Every relationship is unique in my opinion. I haven’t seen anyone in my family in almost a month. No one’s fault really, just a crazy time of year for a lot of us. Do we feel any less close though? No, of course not, and Thursday we’ll all be together for Thanksgiving. To tell you the truth, and I’m afraid how this is going to sound, but I value the time apart as much as I do being together. Perhaps even more. I need my space. I’m sure that part never changes for a mother. I may have started enjoying Christmas again but my birthday is definitely another story. It’s a very depressing day for me and mainly because of what I know it meant to my mother. I generally spend that day alone, lock myself in the house, shut out the world, gain 10 pounds and watch sad movies all day and that needs to stop. I’m determined to enjoy my next birthday in a couple of months and I’m going to try my hardest this year. I definitely appreciate it a lot more now. But when I was younger? Oh, I hated it! I just didn’t get it. I was never into dressing up and scary movies. Plus I hate the sight of blood, real or fake, so it was a holiday I never got into. But once I got older and started taking my niece and nephew trick or treating I began realizing what I had missed out on all those years growing up. The candy. I missed out on a lot of candy. No, seriously, I missed out on a lot of fun and I kind of regret that but hey, all kids can’t be the same I guess. I’m not familiar with this to be honest. I’m gonna have to do some research on this one. I think I’ve heard the name but I’m not sure what it entails. Unless it is studied here and it’s just me. That’s also very plausible. Thank you! It is a wonderful holiday. It’s my favorite to be honest, oops I mean favourite. We just all sit around eating and talking and watching American Football all day. It’s one of the few days of the year we’re all together. For me the best part of the day is spending it with my niece and nephew. I look forward to completely terrorizing the both of them all day but what are kids for? Of course they can terrorize back now so that’s also a factor. I notice as they get older I can’t get away with a lot of the stuff I used to pull on them. Nah, I don’t think that’s nosey at all. I used to work saturdays but earlier this year I cut down my schedule to five days instead of six. Honestly, I needed the rest physically. It was getting to be too much. I’m sure in December I’ll be working some weekends though. That’s kind of unavoidable this time of year. You take care as well LML and have a great week ahead!!</blockquote>
