Happy New Year!

Well fellas, as you know, this year has been filled with a ton of "ups" and "downs", and I'm happy to see it fade away.  With all that has happened this year, I have to say I'm truly grateful for all that I have in my life and for some of the things that the year has provided.  Granted we're broke and don't have two nickles to rub together, but somehow we've managed to survive.  The mortgage is paid, the lights are on, and we managed to get enough money together to keep the Hubster enrolled at his University.  I don't foresee 2012 being a year full of money and prosperity, but if 2011 taught me anything, it was how to make a dollar stretch.  Now if I could only figure out how to get my balls to stretch that good! I haven't spent quality time with my nuts in a long while, I think I'll put that on my New Year's Resolution list.  Note to self...purchase ball pump and spend time stretching nuts!

I could summarize the year with a laundry list of wallowing in self-pity and being completely depressing, but what's the point of that?  Its been a rough year for a lot of people.  I know we weren't the only ones out there struggling and dealing with serious obstacles.  I would much rather share with you guys what I'm grateful for.  Here's my top 10 list!  ENJOY

1. My Hubster; an amazing, handsome, Woofy, intelligent, and the most supportive and loving man I know.
2. My Lil' Sister; not only was she named "Teacher of the Year", she has been a pillar of strength for me.  Her support and assistance with my mother has been priceless.
3. My Family; though we don't always agree, and I don't approve of the way they handle certain things.  They are always there when I need them.
4. Cruella (my Mother);  OK, so I may bitch about her, and she drives me to complete insanity, but I do love her and she was very helpful this past year.  I'm thankful she's doing better and is in a place where she can thrive and be happy.  Besides, with out her, I wouldn't have stuff to blog about!
5. My Friends; I have some of the best friends in the world.  Regardless of how fat I am or how much weight I've lost, how depressing I can be or how funny I am, or whatever is going on in my life, I always know I can reach out and one of them will be there for me; if not more.  They never judge and they always put a smile on my face.
6. My Home;  considering how many people have lost their homes or are homeless, the fact we've been able to keep our beautiful house means a lot to me.  Not a day goes by where I don't take moment and enjoy what we have.  We are very fortunate.  OK this may be selfish, but its true.  There were more than few times that I almost lost our home.  Cherish what you have.
7. My Puppies; Mr. Jackson and Miss Roxie will love me unconditionally forever.  Nothing puts a smile on my face more than coming home, walking in the door and being covered with puppy kisses.
8. My Blog:  yes, I'm putting this on my list.  Selfish, yes.  However, my blog is a form of therapy for me.  Without it, I probably would have gone insane.  Its my virtual dumping ground.  And the support and love I've received from you guys has been invaluable to me.  Thank You!
9. My Job; OK, yes my job sucks some seriously dirty ass, but I'm grateful as hell to have one!
10. My Penis and my Balls; HELL YA I 'm putting my penis on my list!  Why wouldn't I be grateful for my package?  He has provided me with hours and hours of pleasure and fun.  So what if he doesn't get used on a more regular basis.  I was blessed with 7 inches of happiness and two nicely sized testicles. I like to think I've put them to good use. Never neglect the penis!  Yup, that's mine! =)

Now for a summation of Cruella's One Hit Wonders for the year!

• "Children with ADHD should be seperated from "normal" children."
• "The food here is killing me.  I'm only going to eat one bite and then only eat crackers.  But they never give me crackers"
• "They fucking kill people in here!" (As she's trying to pull the IV out of her arm)
• "God says its OK to Murder people who said they would murder you.  Its in the Bible."
• "Theses Ni&&ers ( I wont type that word) are stealing my food!"
• "I just wash with baby wipes, I don't want to smell like these old people."
• "That Obama only wants blacks to run this country."
• "We have to buy lollipops to hang on the Christmas tree this year."

And now for the Photo portion of today's post.  There's is one thing I am truly grateful for and that's BALLS!  My life wouldn't be complete without men having big, beautiful, low hanging testicles.  So in honor for my ball fetish and the official "Ball Dropping" in NYC.  I figured some Balls would be appropriate.

Wishing all a Happy and Prosperous New Year!  Love Ruffy!
