Must apologize again for long lapse in posting, although in my defense, it was pretty much out of my hands. My cable and internet lines were down Sunday to Saturday, which has been inconvenient to say the least. Didn't have time for a repairman to come out until yesterday, but at least it finally happened! Huzzah!
So anyway, here I am again, ready and rarin' to go!
and More Good News!
SAN FRANCISCO GIANTS ARE GOING TO THE WORLD SERIES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
WOOOOOHOOOOOOO
Nothing could have made my weekend more than that - being from CA originally, and having a family that literally breathes Giants baseball (seriously, my grandmother has a personalized license plate with a Giants saying on it and has for 30 years), it's pretty exciting. I'm so so happy!
Although it also helped that I went to a Halloween Dog Costume parade yesterday, which was pretty unbearably adorable. Normally I have qualms about putting dogs/any animals in costumes, but I have to say, every single person and dog I saw yesterday just seemed super excited and to be having a great time. I will post some pictures later on this week.
And soon! Halloween!! Anyone have any exciting plans or costumes? I'm still thinking about mine. I love Halloween. Everyone can get a little crazy and be different.
So all is well in Bipolar Betty's world. Hope that's the same for the rest of you - get excited about the little things! And Halloween! and the GIANTS!!

The Weekend
I've had a lovely weekend. Pretty laid-back, but still managed to get some stuff done for the trip, baked for a friend's party, then attended said party which was full of laughter and remeetings and rememberings.
It was one of those parties that makes you so glad to be in the place you are in your life. It's a grown-ups party, more civilized than college chug until you drop, but everyone is still carefree, some coupled some un-coupled, but all willing to be drunk and silly. I had very defined moments where I took myself slightly out of my mind, looked around and was grateful for what I felt. I love to notice those moments, to pause and recognize the pleasure I am feeling, to acknowledge how important they are. They are not always easily remembered or identified, so when I do, I try to hold on to that memory as much as I can. I want to look back at my life and remember that I had happy moments, real ones. That good things exist for me outside of and inspite of my mind's manipulation.
I love being happy. When I can identify a moment as being happy, my satisfaction and level of happinesss instantly doubles just from the realization.
Pay attention to all the moments in your life where you can step back and recognize whatever you're feeling. It can really make a difference.
