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!!
