Raggedy gave me the The I'm Fabulous Award over the weekend.  She named some Totally fabulous people on her post and now I'd like to point out some now.  You all, of course, are all fabulous.

Steelcowboy is completely fabulous; he is one-of-a-kind, genuine, honest, and down-to-earth guy who has a way of touching lives through his words.  He is a friend to many and deserves recognition and I'd like to take this opportunity to thank him for touching my life and making me want to be a better person.  He is a good friend and I have always enjoyed his sense of humor and his sense for showing kindness when it's needed. 

Deni is another who is completely fabulous; she always thinks of others before herself.  She has a heart of gold and has a brilliant sense of humor.  I have enjoyed not only reading her blog but also getting to know her through emails.  She has become a great friend and I bless the day that I was introduced to her.  She is always there when others need her - no matter what.  Thank you, Deni for your friendship and for all you've done for me.  You are truly special. 

My friend Dave is one heck of a guy.  He has been a friend to me for so long and I appreciate his friendship and always being there.  He's got a brilliant sense of humor and a very sexy yellow Corvette, which is now put away for its winter hibernation, and a genuine, giving heart.  He has a private blog... and I think many people are missing out on him because it is private *uh hum... HINT*  Thank you, Dave - for always being there and for always putting up with my teasing... oh but wait... you give it right back.  ;-) 

A fabulous couple is Colin and his lovely wife, D.  Colin and I met through a friend at work; Colin worked at Hanscom AFB in MA and I work at Hill AFB.  Colin and I were instant friends and his wife, D, is as wonderful as he is.  I first met them face-to-face at Logan Airport in Boston on my way home from England in 2002 and they were as genuine and kind as I knew they would be. 

Then in 2003, I traveled to Hanscom AFB for work and were able to see them again.  The second trip's fun was delayed a bit due to a flight cancellation, otherwise I would have been able to stick my feet in the Atlantic Ocean.  But the next day, Colin and D spoiled me rotten; they took me on a DUCK Tour, to lunch at Dick's Last Resort, and to the Prudential Building Observation Deck.  The Duck Tour was SO much fun, Dick's was a blast (where Colin was named "Big Pig" for stealing some of D's lunch), and the observation deck was incredible.  They gave me memories for a lifetime that day. 

They've since retired and are living the life they dreamed of all their married lives - they're together.  They keep tabs on me and are always there when I need them.  Thank you, Colin and D, for your friendship and all you've given me.  Lub & hugs to both of you!  

I consider myself blessed to have so many incredible and fabulous people in my life - and that means all of you! 

Onto other things, I had a nice weekend - mostly vegging and keeping my leg propped up.  It doesn't like sitting at the computer for long - even though I prop it up.  I can't imagine how hard it will be to go back to work and I think only two weeks is pushing it a bit.  I see the doctor today to get my stitches out and I'll see about extending my time off work by a few days.  

I'm also officially done with school WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!  I'm just impatiently waiting for my grades. If I bit my nails, I'd have ten bloody stumps on my hands.  I'm sure I've got an A in Visual Arts but it's my Music grade I'm worried about (I mixed some things up on the final).  If I get below a 175/260 on the final, I will earn B, and a 3.8975 GPA, which isn't enough for Magna status, however, if I get an A, I will have a 3.816 and Magna Cum Laude status.   Ohhhhhhhhhhhh, the waiting........... I hate waiting!   I emailed my professor last night, begging him to give me my grade on my final) but I have yet to hear from him.  GAH! 

P.S.  Let's hear it for the Colorado Rockies who are one game away from sweeping the Arizona Diamond-Backs for a turn at the World Series.  W00T!  Go Rockies!! They've won 20 out of the last 21 games and they deserve to go to the series! 

P.S.S.  Another of my beloved teams, the Boston Red Sox are playing Cleveland Indians.  Each team has won a game so the next three games are critical and I'm hoping the next three games will be Boston's.  Saturday's game went 11 innings and it was a close game until the 11th when it fell apart and Boston lost (boo). 

If these two teams end up playing in the World Series, it will be hard to choose one team to cheer for so I'll cheer for both and be happy with the team that wins.
