Hi-
I'm going to keep this short and to the point because I'm tired and my head hurts a little. However, it's way too cool so I have to share.
The Body Shop at Home has a huge "after Christmas" sale going on right now. It's all on my web site. www.thebodyshopathome.com/web/ebowman
If there is any holiday stuff that you like or are interested in, get it now at 50-75% off before it's gone! My recomendations are the heatable wraps, the holiday makeup, and the star diffusers.
We had a good weekend, my friend Maebius and his family were supposed to come visit, but since they live in upstate NY, the weather prevented them from coming to visit. We did however get lots done around the house and got cookies ready for distribution.
Anyway, I am now beat like whole wheat and am going to veg while watching the husband play video games.

real life Santas
The Boy wrote a letter to Santa on Tuesday. Actually, he dictated and I wrote. We put it in an envelope, took it to the post office and gave it to our favorite postal worker, Miss Mary. The boy loves Miss Mary, she give him sticker and always has a conversation with him. Miss Mary said that she would make sure that Santa got his letter, she said that she'd put it in the "special box". Now I'm thinking that the "special box" is the trash can. Which would have been fine, the magic was in the act of writing the letter and handing it off, and knowing that a little boys Christmas wishes would somehow make it to a fat man at the top of the world.
Well, the special box didn't turn out to be the trash can, because Today, the boy recieved an answer to his letter in the mail from the fat man himself, or so it seems. When I opened it, I half expected a form letter, but it actually mentioned all the things that Teddy asked for and acknowledged all the "good deeds" that the boy mentioned that he had done in his letter. So, not only did "Santa" read his letter, but he wrote a special letter just for the boy. How cool is that?
I think tomorrow while the boy is at pre-school, I'm going to go into the post office and say thank you to "Santa", and let "him" know that this letter really made both of our days, and helped to make the magic a little more really to a little boy.

World AIDS day
It's interesting. You can talk about something - a disease, a cause, - anything - and it doesn't really sink in until it hits someone close to you. We talk all the time about giving money for this or that or helping find a cure for this disease or that one, but they always seem like something that affects other people, not people that you actually know - just other people.
My husband recently, through a social networking site, caught up with an old friend. You know the type, you hang out with them for a while and then they get busy, you get busy and pretty soon it's a couple years since you've spoken to them. While catching up with S. online, my husband found out that since we've last seen him, S. has contracted HIV. This news totally shocked me. I mean this is the first person that I've known that has HIV. It's very surreal to me. S. is a young good looking guy, he's going to grad school, has his whole life in front of him, and HIV. This is the first time that this disease isn't "other people" to me, and I don't like it. It was so much easier to deal with (or not deal with) when I didn't have a face to put with the disease.
I mean, I can watch RENT and sing and dance around to La Vie Bohem, and think what a great story. But it never really got to me that just about everyone on there had HIV and is going to die (I like to fast forward through that part). Maybe it's the fact that S. is so "normal" and could be anyone on the street that's been getting to me.
I want to scream, I want to be mad, I want to yell at him for not being careful, I want to go in and rip the disease from him, I want to make him chicken soup and wrap a blanket around him, I want to stop the tears that are rolling down my cheeks as I write this.
But I can't do any of that. All I can do is support a long lost friend, enjoy his company and friendship and try to remember that these things don't always happen to "other people"
Happy World AIDS day.
