30 Days of Thankful

I'm thankful to have lots of things to be thankful for. So many, in fact, that I had an extra thing to be thankful for in my first post. I don't know if anyone noticed, but I think I did five "thankfuls" the first day, when I really only needed to do four to get caught up. Oops!

Anyways, I missed out on my weekend posts, because 1) it was beautiful in Western PA (THANK YOU!) and 2) I try to stay off my computer as much as possible on the weekends. I spend enough time sitting here during the week, and have my Blackberry where I can monitor anything re: e-mail, etc. Soooo... while I've already mentioned a few things I'm thankful for, here are some more:

1) I'm thankful for friends who come to visit. My friend, Ashley, who I went to college with came to visit this weekend. She came on Saturday and left Sunday afternoon. We went shopping, went to lunch AND dinner (yum both times!) and hung out at my apartment Saturday night, giving pedicures, watching tv and drinking wine. This girl is a complete nutjob. WAAAY more energy than I'll ever have, but it's great to see friends, have these experiences, and even be thankful that most of my weekends are much less exciting than hers probably are.

2) I'm thankful for grooming services. Dori has gone almost two months without a grooming (although she HAS gotten baths) and is furry, smelly, needs her teeth cleaned and toenails cut, etc. She's at the groomer right now, and will be THRILLED to come back a soft, good smelling, cute little pup. HOLLA!

3) I am thankful for Mondays. Mondays can kinda suck. Five whole days where you know your life is full of work and routine. HOWEVER, they are also a great opportunity to wipe the slate clean from the previous week and mold your week into whatever you'd like it to be. Last week, I was lazy and gluttonous and slothful. (I guess lazy gluttonous are basically the same, but still). This week, I'm gonna have a gooooood week. Choc full of veggies instead of mini chocolate bars, and lean protein instead of jolly ranchers... anddddd, lets see, what else? Just lots of really good for ME food. and exercise, that too!

Okay, and on that note, I'm outta here. I've got a busy work week ahead of me, and need to start knocking some things off my "To Do" list. To all of my faithful readers who I'll see over Thanksgiving, really really really really REALLY looking forward to it. Much love! xoxoxox
