DAY 9

My gratitude today goes to an inspiring person. Actually it goes to 2 very inspiring people. Megan Greenwood and Ned Greenwood. 2 people that inspire me to be a good person, to be caring, generous, kind, silly, patient, empathetic and hard-working. There are many people in my life that have inspired me but these two have had a large impact on who I am today. They have taught me many of the great lessons I have learned on growing up. I love them both and feel grateful for them every day.

DAY 8

I'm so many days behind on actually posting these photos, I decided it really doesnt matter if I post them a couple a day or once a week. At least Im gonna finish the challenge! My gratitude today is for my Favorite Color! My favorite color is Aqua Seafoam Green, when I was a little kid I fell in love with the crayon that was named that. It is also known as mint or mermaid but I prefer the longer name. I collect things of this color, purses, shoes, clothes, jewelry, decorations. You name it I have it! I am grateful to Crayola for opening my eyes to the beauty of this color!

DAY 7

The word for today's picture of gratitude is actually two! Something Funny. So I thought I would post up a picture that is a pretty recent one. It was a good night and we were having banana splits at my house. Rhiannan and I filled our mouths with whipped cream and made faces and took pictures all night. It was a blast and we laughed the whole time. Nan is a little girl that I love a ton and so I am grateful to her and all the laughter she brings to my life!

letter to santa

Dear Santa,
Good tidings and wishes to you sweet old jolly fat man! May your rolls jiggle in red velvet swathed happiness! Thank you for the amazing gifts last year and of course for the return of the candy cane, only the best candy invented EVER! I hope your cottage in the pole has withstood global warming and that you stay warm and dry next to your elf fed fireplace. Hmm that sounds like your burning elves, keep the little buggers safe and only burn sweet smelling wood. They need to work in the factory and it would be a waste to just throw them in the fire. Toy making must have been tough in this economy but I think that with some budget cuts you must have been able to create all of the gifts that children asked for this year. Last year I wrote to sweet Mrs. Claus and asked her for a gift, I also talked to you in person wondering about the same gift. You both assured me that when the time was right my gift would come. IM DONE WAITING!!! The time is right! I believe in you Santa! Please don't make me regret putting my faith in you! Please oh please bring me my perfect man! I have been dating dozens of men and none of them have been perfect for me! Please don't make me wait any longer!!! If you bring me the perfect man I swear I will leave out carrots for the reindeer and tons of cookies/Milk for you. Think of it as a little reward for making someone's dreams come true. Thank you sooo much for being awesome. Enjoy the season and your flight, if you need an extra scarf due to weather problems don't hesitate to wake me when you get here with my man, I know it can get chilly out there.

Love, Jamie Rae

P.S. Rudolph! I heard Mrs. Claus put you on a diet, if you make sure I get a man I will sneak you some cookies too!

Camel Drool Kisses

by Jamie!

Your sweet and your kind,

your attentive and and most definitely hot

but, being with you,

 I realized there's something your not.

When man was first made

you were given a tool

now you think with no brain 

and you act like a fool

up the shirt, down the pants

its all rub and all grab

Im sorry Mr. Playboy

but your lovings kinda drab

I got bored and I got slobbered

rolling my eyes at your "skills"

you pump up the ante

that shudder? its not chills.

im disgusted by your lips

they turn me off, my face getting eaten

like being kissed by a camel

your drool cant sweeten

the grossed out look that has crossed

my unguarded face.

oh shit. can I run? 

Where the fuck is my mace?

Im done with this date

whats my excuse?

gotta run, thanks for dinner

Im tired gotta cruise!

Now Im home safe in my bed

my face freshly washed

happy to be home

new budding romance firmly squashed!

No more dates, I need less fun

give me a romance book any day
its way better than real life

theres no camel kiss drool and its not too risque.

I sink into the covers 

turning page after page

a sigh, and loving warmth

true love is taking center stage.

DAY 6

The theme word for this picture of gratitude is that of books. The picture I have selected is just me reading a book because I love books and I'm thankful for the time to read and money to buy books. I have a nook so I do have the virtual books but I will always love the sweet smell of books old and new. There is something magical about having a book in your hands.
