Mahalo, she~
We're having a proper Rainstorm! 
I am glad you are getting your rain. It has been so cold here. Miserable at work too. We freeze in my department, I have worn a coat and scarf 3 times this week. My hands are turning blue.
We have work to do, Cha!
GOTV 2014!
We vote here for Katherine Clark for Congress in, yikes 12 days!

time for nothin' but hard work and pressing ahead.
It looks like Katherine Clark has been working hard to get her message out, she.. and, it doesn't seem like there's much enthusiasm for the republicon in Markey's old District.. who knew? 
I barely remember the cold now but when I was in it all those years I was feeling it to my bones. At the first of the Season it was all cozy and everything but then it drags on and on.
Not good when our work place is saving on the heating bill, though! Brrrrr!
I just took a hot Epic Epsom Salt bath and it felt like I was back in the hot springs in Colorado. It felt really good and relaxing. Have you ever used it? I just got turned on to it recently.. now I'm buying it by the 1/2 gallons. Not expensive.
Your home is warm enough, right? My place in NY was too big to heat the whole thing and I just heated my bedroom when it got really cold. Good times.
I hope you had a lovely Thanksgiving.
So inspirational, you are so right. He is taking us forward.
He is a great leader.
And anyone can choose to relate as to a mentor. A good mentor wants you to look to the example he or she lives. He or she wants you to walk alongside (not behind), and encourages you to keep going, even when you don't want to.
Hope yours was lovely too!
Words of wisdom from you Blanche, as always.
I cooked for thanksgiving in the smallest kitchen that you can imagine, it was great.
I love my family~

I've been home with a cold. Grateful my favorite food store's nearby! Got meds and soups and treats. Been takin good care of myself and snuggling up with Shrimpy. It's really been very peaceful.

I hope you and yours enjoyed the day.
Nope, ya can't bet against the man he knows how to roll the dice, much to the baggers and repukes chagrin!
Perfect~ 
for the clip., NBachers!
yeahhhhh.
I was just afraid to *say* it. Not enough gravitas.
But I can't deny it.
is to be patient.
When everyone's running around with their hair on fire, I just sit back and wait; because I know he will work it out to the best of his ability.
I also know that he is not in total control of Washington DC, so I can't expect all my wishes to come true.
I know that he might say some things to Republicans that are upsetting to Liberals, but I believe that is how he traps them.
I gotta admit, he can trap them good! Real good!
Since they're mad all the time, the least we can do is to give them something real to be mad about!
He makes me smile, but I wish his time in office were more easier for him; and his family, too.
"Please proceed ..."

He makes me smile too~
twice!!!
And WON!!!
