"It's not our abilities that show other who we are, but our choices"-AD

Yeah the title has nothing to do with the post....just so you know....
Some things that I have come to the conclusion since waking up at 8 am....

• The first thing I thought to my self this morning......self.....you are very forgetful...
• I have chicken arms. There were women in my body pump class this morning old enough to be my grandmother, lifting twice the weight I could....this is a true story
• no matter how many times I sweep my floor, I am never going to get all of the dog hair off the floor. 
• Buying a house is a never ending expense
• I want to adopt one of those kids from the trees around town....the ones that can't afford christmas and they make a list and make someones else's christmas a good one. Besides....what else do I need?
• with that said I have not started on Christmas.....at all. 
• I will never drive a minivan....and I mean that
• I am ready for some turkey and stuffing....and pie

Things I am thankful for today are

• Our home. And the blessing of being able to own a home at the age of 23. 
• The excitement of a movie
• My talent of singing... I am not as good as I once was, but none the less I can carry a pretty good tune, which is more then I can say for others
• My new found talent of sewing and being able to make people smile with some things I make for them
• Also, my last talent, baking. I get this from my mother I think. I can bake just about anything except cookies for some reason
• A sweet family who is allowing us to bring our four legged baby with us to stay in their home, and my mom who will be keeping our other four legged baby.
• Patients who think enough of me to bring me gifts! Gifts of food that is. Not to anyone who goes to the hospital....Nurses LOVE food!!! of any kind!!! Most of all we love to know that you appreciate us! 

Hope everyone has a good weekend! Most of all I hope everyone has a fun, safe holiday!!

I am thankful for weekends off and....

Week number 2 in November. These past two weeks have seemed like they have flown by. I feel like I am home long enough to sleep and I am back on the 3rd floor again. But none the less I am thankful to be able to do it none the less. I am thankful not to be able to not  add to the unemployment percentage and to be doing what I love and loving what I do. =) Some things I am thankful for in particular this week are

• Our veterans of course. I think being away from your family for months and months at a time knowing there is a chance you could die for your country is a true sacrifice.  I am the child of a retired army vet who served our country in Germany, Korea and Saudi Arabia. I can still remember the distinct smell of black shoe polish and army BDU's. I thank him SSG (R) David Davies for protecting my freedom, and my mother who held down the fort with a 3 year old and 8 months pregnant climbing a couple of flights of stairs and shoveling snow every morning by herself....lord knows I couldn't do it. 
• Heat
• Harry Potter weekends
• Cherry Coke
• Hair Cuts, and a fabulous girl who cuts my hair so well
• New Clothes
• scarves
• nail polish
• Pretty Fall leaves. I dont know about where you live, but here in the county I have never seen trees soo pretty in the fall
• fuzzy socks
• sunglasses
• This silly dog and sneaky, graceful cat. They are keeping me company this weekend
• fireplaces and apple cider.

Just another side noted......I went to step class this morning, for the first time in about a month or more. Anyways....I was about 10 min late....I was about 15 min into the class.....I had to leave cause I thought I was going to pass out. Should have woke up and hour early went to body pump instead. It was sad.  I was sad....
Hope everyone has a good weekend!! Stay warm in this cold weather!!

Fill in the Blank Friday on Monday!!

Fill in the Blank Friday.....on Monday....again.....I mean really should you expect anything else from me??

I had a hellacious three days at work and I honestly dont think I got out of the bed till like 5pm on Friday. I still can't believe the weekend is gone and I have to go back tonight.

1.   My favorite thing about this week was/is    spending the weekend with my husband. Waking up and him being home is rare in our house so it was nice to be home with him and not have to go to work. 

2.   Colder weather makes me   cold...and in need of a scarf and hat and a HEATER!!! For some reason the heater is not working in our house....which is wonderful...NOT!! I hate being cold when I wake up!!

3.  Three things that make me terribly happy as of late are    

4. If I could only wear one kind of shoe for the rest of my life, I'd choose    ballet flats. They're versatile - you can dress them up or down   .

5.  My personality type is    I am definitely more of a Type B....no sense of time or urgency.....I like to achieve and do well in school in stuff but if I made a B I was ok with that too.I can sit around all day and not do a darn thing and I am ok with that.  The only thing I really take that seriously and get stressed out about is my job...I have been told over and over that I have to relax and chill when it comes to certain situations....and I am trying...but I still get scared I am going to do something wrong.

6.  I have a serious problem resisting     sweets and clothing.....I am a sucker for both.

7.  My favorite color to wear is   I really dont have one. I perfer something loose and comfortable over a certain color.

So much to be thankful for....

 November is the month that we try to focus on what we are thankful for, even though it should be on our mind all the time. So once a week (maybe twice if I can settle down enough) I will try to write about somethings I am thankful for.........so here it goes!

• I am first and foremost, I am thankful for my God. The grace and forgiveness I have been shown and given everyday is beyond my mind. Without Him I would have nothing.
• I am so thankful for my husband. He can make me more mad then anyone else and make me more happy then anyone else. He is funny and charming and cute. And he can be embarrassing and annoying.....and he know this!!! But he will do anything for our family that will come sooner then later. And that is what makes him wonderful. Our children will have the father that I always dreamed of having. Thats more important to me then all of the annoying and embarrassing things he does. And the fact that he is TERRIBLE at folding and hanging up clothes.......but I still love him. =)
• I am am thankful for my mom. Lord knows where I would be without her guidance and dedication to her children. I hope I will never have to do what she did. 
• I am  thankful for a job....for both of us. I can't imagine doing anything else. Now it doesn't matter if you have a college degree or not.....it is hard to find a good job that you love in the mean time so the fact that I was able to come straight out of school doing what I love is a blessing.  And I can't forget  my coworkers for dealing with all that comes with me. Emotions and all.
