I am TRYING to be in a bad mood but apparently the forces of nature have other plans.(aka I still love Steve.)

I'm in a bit of a funk. Or at least I was trying very HARD to remain in my funk.




However, here are the top five things that have sunk my funk.



5. In my new backyard (aka five gazillion acres of farmland and woods) I discovered the (grand)mother of all raspberry patches. PIE FOR EVERYONE!!!




4. An amazing blogger, photographer and friend sent me one HUNDREDTH of what she has stashed in the (grand) mother of all craft closets. (I'm not kidding- Martha Stewart would be (@*# jealous.)


3. Someone who knows me a bit too well sent me a free sample. Yes. It's Vodka. Now THAT'S what I'm talking about. (However, it's a "set for two." Anyone have a kind, honest, funny, amazing, employed, available "friend" for me? Give me a jingle, cause I'm about ready.)



2. My sister's MANY trips to the Goodwill, Thrift Shop and yard sales have paid off for me once AGAIN!! (Ah Steve, you are so lucky I don't live in Maine.)




1. MY attempt at yard sale-ing today paid off in a BIG way. However, I'm still shocked that Mr. King has a picture of me on one of his first books. Do you think perhaps he was stalking ME??




Now someone pass me a cigar and a martini. I am living large tonight, people.






Living large.

    Girl, those raspberries look an awful lot like blackberries to me. Yum!!!

    What a lovely list of blessings. I can't think of anyone more deserving.

    The raspberry (grand)motherlode! They would be lovely in those vodka glasses too, especially drowned by vodka.

    Raspberries! YUM! You could pick them and sell them and make a fortune! Or eat them all by yourself! Or make jelly-my mom did this every year. Oh my.

    I'm totally willing to share that vodka with you. I'm employed, although I'm not that great of a date, apparently, considering that I haven't had a good one in awhile...

    I believe King's first book was titled "Blackberry Birthday Pie."

    Reminds me of a Coke Poster that looks like my friend's wife. Had to drag both of them to the restaurant so I could point it out to them.

    Just found your blog-I DO live in Maine, actually about 15 minutes from Mr. King's house. We don't talk though, I'm kind of stuck up.

    Let me know when you need me to send you another box of "goodies" unless of course you just want to head on over for the weekend. . . .?
