Thankful Thursday Morning

Good morning everyone. I had to stop and think if it was a thankful Thursday or a fabulous Friday. Deb, I hope your MIL is improving.


Once we believe in ourselves we can risk curiosity, wonder, spontaneous delight or any experience that reveals the human spirit.


I love that quote. Sometimes we give up so much power to others and what they think and feel about us that we forget how much our own opinion means.Believing in yourself can open so many doors.


So what's on your Thankful Thursday list this week?New things, old things? Yourself,

Miss P

Good Morning,

Another not very nice weather day. The days have been cloudy and overcast looking like rain most of the time and the temperatures have been rather cool. It has allowed us to get things done around here. DH has ripped out the bathroom. I was a bit nervous when he was cutting out pipes yesterday. My dad always hated plumbing projects-he always said you touch one thing and something else breaks. But it went well. It's opened up the room and not sure what he has planned for that space. We have a large wardrobe down there that originally was supposed to be for storing winter jackets but it's so damp down there that everything seems to pick up an odor. I voted for getting rid of the thing but apparently he thinks we should try to keep it. I did find a few things I had thrown out back out again which I promptly threw back into the trash. I don't think he's on to me yet!

I spent a good portion of the day nursing another monster headache. After I posted yesterday I hopped on the exercise bike and it seemed to come on after that. I had to keep popping the Tylenol to keep myself functioning. I did manage to throw out tons of magazines and go through articles that I had ripped out. Weeded a lot of that stuff out as well and have it down to a much more manageable pile.

I was awake very early this morning and got in a walking tape as well as weights. I have my bone density test at 10:40 so I don't think I'll get much accomplished around here this morning. I do hope to get to the laundry room. I didn't have much access to it yesterday and it was pretty much a disaster in there but there's laundry that needs to be folded and I'm pretty sure the mountain has been growing down there.

Thankfuls

A week of vacation.

A much neater and nicer to be in basement.

My favorite ladies here.

That's about it from this neck of the woods. CL-Deb-hope there's been improvement with your MIL.

Hope everyone has a great day!

Patty, I love that quote too... We really do have to believe in ourselves and when we do we can do just about anything... Thanks for sharing it.. :)

Good Morning

I m having problems with Cabo(puppy) and potty training..I can go weeks thinking everything is fine and then I find a pee spot again..sometimes I think Ozzy does it on Purpose to try to get cabo In trouble.the Change of weather constantly here this summer doesnt help..rain sun rain sun..whenever it starts raining again the dogs get lazy/cold/dont wanna get wet and pee in the house..I heard on the news we only had 14 days Of sunshine this summer!! 14 How depressing!I went to the tanning booth yesterday to see if that'll boost my mood..the killer is the weekends..we only had one sunny weekend since May!!

well, with that said..thinking positive..this weekend is the LPGA tour we go about 8AM drink Coffee go to the Safeway tents and BAG UP free groceries..they have free samples all day long and its GREAT!then we follow the golfers around and then Go to the "19th hole" where there is Free Booze samples!!right up my ally!ha!very fun and even the tickets to get in are free

Sunday is ZZtop/pretenders/Gin Blossoms/ Stray Cats concert!!!reo speedwagon was suppose to be there but they backed out boohoo they were my fave on the bill Oh well should be great and we have 16th row! Its an outdoor concert But an ampitheater and we are under cover in case the weather doesnnt cooperate ..so far sunday is suppose to be better than saturday:)

dietwise getting frustrated..i had 3 good weeks in a row and the last 2 weeks kinda frozen..I Know a couple things i can eradicate from my menu that might be causing me problems (LIke LC choc icecream) because i cant "control" my portions..Its smarter for me to buy SF Choc pudding already made:)

Called doctor to refill pain pills for knee and he said i have to come in :/..I dont wanna spend 200.00 for nothing..so we'll see....

thankfuls later

Erin, only 14 days of sunshine?? I'd be crazy(ier)!!!!!We've been overcast for days and I'm so sick of it.


I never thought we'd get Bob house broken and then honestly it just happened one day. I seriously thought I'd be running one of those

Royal..On the knee..I dont think its hurting worse..I think Its just getting old..Im having less patience with the pain and Im just tired of thinking about it..there alot of people that run in My neighborhood and its just depressing. Im excited I have almost gone thru 2 months of the insurance waiting period, but still have 4 months left..I dont wanna sit and look at the calender every day But, because running was such a huge part of my life..sometimes i cant help it:)

On the dog..we were so focused on the chewing problem it seems like the potty training got put to the wayside..Its really not that bad..and when he gets excited .....It leaks....lol
