Thankful Thursday – Avocado rolls, acoustic CDs and POPSICLES

August 19th, 2010

Good morning!

Is it pathetic that I live for the weekends? Don’t get me wrong, the Mister and I certainly make some fun during the week and schedule things to look forward to, but just knowing the *real* weekend is around the corner makes my heart sing. Another thing that makes it easier to get through the week is stopping to think about all the great “stuff” that happened. Sure, it’s not the weekend, but I’m sure you’ve had many moments of laughter, love and smiles. Let’s all take a moment to thank LIFE for handing us those moments.

This week, I’m thankful for…

The decreased humidity

Brown rice avocado rolls

The opportunity to catch up with old friends

Unexpected kisses

New opportunities (I have big news to share with you guys soon! — p.s. work people, stop freaking out, this has nothing to do with my current job or leaving it for any reason)

The new Taking Back Sunday acoustic CD

Strawberry Popsicles

Real, scrambled eggs and buttered whole wheat toast with turkey bacon – my FAVORITE thing to make for breakfast – I simply swoon at the thought!

The Little ;)

What are YOU thankful for this week? Please share, reading your marvelous lists always puts a smile on my face ;)

Thankful Thursday

July 29th, 2010

Good morning! Can you believe it’s Thursday already?

Busy day planned today! Working all day, but taking a little longer lunch break to take my grandma out for a Mexican lunch at Zocalo – should be fun!

After work, the Mister and I will be heading to a photoshoot for American Greetings, I’ll try and take some on-set, behind the scenes photos! I love it when I get to work with the Mister ;)

But before I get whirled away with the day, let’s all take a few minutes and reflect back on our weeks.

This week, I’m thankful for:

My incredible family

That I’ve managed to keep my house fairly clean since our last thorough cleaning

Grilled cheese sandwiches

The return of MAD MEN

Turkey Bacon

Weekend plans in Amish Country with my mother-in-law and Mama

That Fall is RIGHT AROUND THE CORNER – I can smell it!

My Mister, who puts up with me and still manages to love me at the end of every day

That Eat, Pray, Love comes out this weekend!

What are YOU thankful for today?
