V day

Today is the V's! Only 4 weeks of gratitude Tuesday left. Hard to believe that we've almost finished the alphabet. I've had fun with it!

So, let's see if I can think of V words that I am grateful for.

Vests? Nope, not really grateful for vests.
Valentines day? Uh, no. I think that is a dumb holiday that is just making the card companies rich. Why do we need a day to celebrate love? I think we should do that everyday!

I do like my vaccumm. We have a kirby...which is like the king of all vaccumms. It's so powerful that it's messed up the padding under the old carpet in our house. The carpet is super old...but still.

Villages are cool. When I was a child we lived in Germany. The villages are so cute there. You can be on the highway and then suddenly you go through a small village. I miss that.

I do like a good vacation. Unfortunately it doesn't look like there are any vacations on the horizon for me. That's what happens when you buy a house. You have no money left.

I totally got into the Twilight seris so now I am in love with vampires! That Edward Cullen pushed all my buttons!

Out of all the flavors of ice cream in the world, I'm a true vanilla at heart! (hard to believe huh?)

I do love our vehicles. There was a time, not that long ago, that our vehicles sucked and we could barely make it across town!

I can't wait until this house is vacant!

What kind of girl would I be if I wasn't grateful for my vagina?

I love visiting Vegas! My SIL is there, (update on her tomorrow) and it's just fun. But my favorite part of Vegas? The valet parking!

So, I guess that's it for our V's! I thought it was going to be hard, but it turns out that it was easy once I got started.

The wildchild is in LA, as you read this, trying out for American Idol. Of course we all know that the chances are slim that she will make it on the show, but who knows what could happen. She has a beautiful voice, but they only give you about 30 seconds to wow them before they move you on. You have to jump through about 5 hoops and if you manage to pass through all of them...you get an audition with Simon and the gang. If the wildhchild does manage to pass through all the hoops tomorrow, she won't get the auditon with the gang until 3 or 4 weeks from now.

I know the wildchild can make it in the music industry. But she has to work hard at it and get in with the right people. Of course we all know how hard it is to make it in that industry, so.... who knows!

In any case, she's having quite an experience. She and her friend are planning on being there at 3 in the morning. Whatever happens, she'll have quite a story to share.

That's it for today...now go out and be grateful!
