Dancing with beautiful women friends at a club, drinking in our power as we dance and laugh.

Meeting a stranger that you just know you've shared another lifetime with.

Chemistry flowing and sparks flying with just one touch that takes your breath away.

The unconditional love and devotion of a beloved pet.

True friends who are always willing to work through tough situations to make our friendship stronger.

Happy Thanksgiving Everyone!!!

* Unsubscribing from a ton of marketing emails over the last several days. Project "minimize the digital clutter" is in full swing!

* The look on people's face when they walk in my office and see the very dainty teacup full of steaming tea and the word "CUNT" emblazoned in hot pink letters across the front. Yes, I'm super professional.

* Getting a text from my postal service that says "Your package was delivered" when said package contains 32gb of memory and an APC backup (insert love-eyes here!)

* Making my end of the month weight-loss goal when there are 13 days left in the month. Activate maintenance mode!

* Operating as a grown-ass woman and handling my business with finesse.

That's wonderful news:rrose:

5 Incredible Things
 

* Having my best girlfriend of 25 years here today and just laughing and talking and doing what we do best.

* Having said best girlfriend do her best "eyerolling voice" and saying, "Two words, Angiegirl: 'BAR FLY' " :superfunny:

* Chai tea and sympathy

* That smell that permeates your house when you wash 2 loads of clothes and they come out of the dryer smelling all fresh and warm

* Being 41 and feeling sexier and more at home in myself every single day

5 Amazing Things
 

* Having my best girlfriend alllllll to myself for the next week! There will be SO MUCH FOOD and so many hours of gabbing

* Having a "good hand day" where my carpal tunnel isn't hurting as much as usual which will allow me to install some micro braids into her hair so that she can feel more fabulous

* Rain - Yes, it's a good thing because it's a great excuse to make a giant pot of soup, burn some candles, and listen to Jill Scott all day while C chatters randomly and digs through old photos

* Co-opting one of JD's Atlanta friends for my own and discovering that we have SO much in common. She's a Femme and super witchy and so fucking interesting. I just love her vibe and am grateful that we are developing our own friendship and relishing in some delicious Femme space together

* Grateful for this space, The Planet. It's almost 9 years old and now officially the oldest Butch-Femme space on the net. I'm proud of that. I'm proud of the people who keep showing up year after year to post or offer help or volunteer or just be. I'm grateful for all of the lessons learned, for all of the people I've met, and for the little corner of the net where I still bump into people I've known online and real-time for almost 20 years now. That's good stuff. <3

5 Badass Things
 

* My trusty oldAF iPod 5th generation that is STILL trucking along after 10 years! It's only 120gb but super handy for listening to audiobooks while on road trips.
(Psssstt... I just loaded the audio version of "Mean Little Deaf Queer" for my upcoming road trip)

* My very reliable and very paid-off car. She's a big, black, boxy Chrysler 300 and it's like driving a couch around because she's so comfy.

* Finding a note that C left for me a few days before she passed. It only says, "I love you, sis. Kiss my ass." I broke out into giggling tears when I found it because we were always trading licks like that and I am grateful to have a stack of little notes from her to remember.

* Security in all forms.

* Being surrounded by badass love.

cinco
 

1. Spending the very early morning hours in my garden with a soft breeze and dew on the grass.

2. The beautiful cobalt blue glass bowl spilling over with masses of gardenias. The room smells divine.

3. Lunch at my favorite Indian restaurant.

4. The sleek, fresh feeling of walking out of the stylist shop after my hair appointment.

5. Having my car not start while downtown *but* having AAA and in less than 40 minutes I was back on my way with a new battery. (<---glass 1/2 full thinking. Could have been worse as it wasn't raining, it was daytime, I had no-where to be and a battery is a cheap fix so I'm counting this as a good thing)

6. Coming home to find my new handbag had arrived. Love it!

7. About to go pick up a sushi order before the thunderstorms arrive. The air is already starting to cool and I hear the distant rumble.

Hmm, more than 5 but it's hard to stop when you feel so blessed.
