I missed Thankful Thursday last week b/c I was busy being thankful…for friends, tubes, beer and NOT cracking my head open   So this week I bring you 10 (count ‘em 10) things I’m thankful for.  Drum roll please….

1.) I’m thankful for the amazing onsite experience I had in Orlando.  It was a Looooong onsite, but we managed to have lots of laughs and I learned a ton.

2.) I’m thankful that the onsite was so long, and that the boy had to leave before me, b/c finally seeing him after almost 2 weeks helped us both remember a lot of what we love about eachother.

3.) I’m thankful, as I mentioned, for tubes, friends, beer, fireworks,and generally coming out unscathed.

4.) I’m thankful for my Southern Cakes book and my first caramel cake.

5.) I’m thankful for my husband who I missed very much.

6.) I’m thankful for keeping my head about me while I caught back up at work (ish).

7.) I’m thankful for Archie, whom I have yet to meet but will on Saturday.  I’m nervous, but excited.

8.) I’m thankful for Tea, even if she isn’t as thankful for Archie or if she’s ticked at me.  I love her regardless.

9.) I’m thankful for petzyme…see numbers 7 and 8 above… and for my meager ability to take it in stride.

10.) I’m thankful that that massive holly tree/bush was finally removed, even if we still have more yard word to do b/c of it.

So I’m just sitting for a hot second, and realized it’s THURSDAY!  Yowersers!  I still have 6 days here.

1.) I’m thankful I’m here—I have a great number of reasons, but I am so thankful to be on this experience.  I’ll elaborate later.

2.) I’m thankful I got to see my friend’s Dad who is singing and in charge of the music here.

3.) I’m thankful that here in the US we can flush TP in the potty.

4.) I’m thankful for Nextels, especially since we’re using walkies.

5.) I’m thankful for the sweet gift bags our clients left us, and am eating some tic tacs now

It’s another whirlwind week filled with more yard work, cleaning, post cons and the arrival of the She She just in time for Mississippi on the Mall!

1.) I am thankful for the life I lead.  I know, pretty broad.  But this morning driving in thinking about today’s post, and then while writing with an old friend talking about everything we’ve been up to I realized–I have a pretty awesome life!  I have tremendous friends and family, an amazing husband whose family I adore (and I think they just *might* be fond of me too! ) a job that while stressful allows me to meet some amazing folks, go to cool places and have unique experiences.  Just last year I got married, went on a cruise with my family, went to Florabama’s beaches with his, got to see my precious neice and nephew develop real personalities, went on a kick butt honeymoon, football games, camping…..just awesome.  And this year ain’t too shabby either! And despit all of the moaning and groaning about working in the yard or whatever, when you step back and look your life can be pretty darn cool.

2. That some folks thought very very highly of me….cryptic, no?

3. An amazing vet who just called me back (on the same day I left a message!!) to help us navigate this potential puppy ownership.

4. Confidence.  When I have it-I am ever so thankful

5.  The free Wi-Fi on my upcoming trip to California onboard Virgin America flight 97.  Maybe I’ll get some Facebook Work time in on that God aweful 5 hour trip.

It’s Thursday again…and it’s 5:15pm so let’s get started!

1.) I’m thanful for my husband.  I mean, I’m ALWAYS thankful for him, but especailly this week.  He sees me more clearly than I see myself, and somehow still stays around

2.) I’m thankful for the successes of my friend and co-worker Tom.  We just had a successful show together, and I found out today he was able to book some more ITY FITY and future stuff and I’m just really happy for such a great guy!

3.) I am thankful for the box of atomic fireballs a security company sent me.  Yum-o!  They remind me of summer and little league baseball games.

4.) I’m super thankful that I got to spend time with my parent’s on their 35th wedding anniversary, and again to my husband for going out of his way to make a fabulously special dinner with me.

5.) This rain we’ve been having lately has once again reminded me to be thankful for Aunt Sharon who gave us a “real man’s tent” that kept us dry while camping

And here’s a bonus, just because!

I HEART overnight delievery-my new shoes will be on my porch tomorrow morning!

Today’s edition is a bit of a stretch.  There are so many things I”m thankfu for, and I’ve also been struggeling with some bad news.  To be honest, it’s even surprising me how much this news is hurting my heart.  I thought perhaps it was just my fair for the dramatic that was rearing it’s head, but when I woke up this morning, or at random times during the day, there was this nagging at my heart, and something just wasn’t right.  That’s when I remembered the news, and I am back to that sad place.

Anyway, today’s edition:

1.) I’m thankful that today is June 4, end of the business day.  From May 4-June 4 it was none stop busy.  I KNEW May was going to be busy, but I don’t htink I realized quite the strain.  There was a lot of fun times, but still, I am so glad it’s over.

2.) I’m thankful that I have Monday off and finally get to show my parents our new house, even if only for 24 hours.

3.) I’m thankful that my parents have been married 30-some odd years (5 I think) and I get to spend the day with them and make them dinner with my husband.

4.) I”m thankful for my sweatpants….yea, I said it.

5.) I’m thankful that my transportation guy gave me a kick-butt umbrella last night b/c as it turns out I needed it today.

I’m spent now.  Is it bedtime yet?
