Random Wednesday #2

Since I got a text from Shanna last night asking me where I had been with blogging, I decided I better get my booty on the computer and link up with her!

With Thanksgiving tomorrow and Christmas right around the corner, I've just been a busy little bee getting ready for the holidays! 

Since I know we are all busy getting ready to stuff ourselves with turkey tomorrow, I will keep this short and sweet. 

1. Is it terrible that I'm kind of ready for Thanksgiving to be over so I can decorate for Christmas? I have always put my decorations up the weekend after Christmas and always take them down the weekend after New Years. Growing up, I never had a real tree (my mom was allergic), so I got my first real tree my first year living in California. I don't know if we didn't water the tree enough or what, but our tree was pretty much dead by Christmas. Any tips on how to make the tree last? 

2. I am getting old! I can't even clean out a closet/pantry without hurting myself! Our dining room closet has needed cleaned out for about the last 3 years, but instead of cleaning it we just add to it. Monday, I finally decided it was time to clean it out (a nice two hour project). While cleaning, I must have twisted wrong or something, because I pulled something in my rib cage area. It hurts to take deep breaths, sneeze, twist a little too much etc. I went into the living room to lay on the floor and stretch and this happened... 

Apparently, Peanut thought I wanted to be his bed. 

3. Breaking Dawn part 2, need I say more?! If you are a Twilight fan too, you will most likely agree that this was the BEST movie of all of them! Also, if you read the books, what did you think of the twist? I LOVED it! 

4. I am debating going out for Black Friday. Has anyone heard of any great deals? 

Speaking of Black Friday deals, Kiki La'Rue has a great deal going on now through Sunday! 

5. Yesterday, I picked up Indian food and took it to Katrina's to hang out with her and the kiddos. One of the best things about hanging out with a 3 1/2 year old and a 2 year old... getting to pretend like you're 5 again. 

I'm thankful for... Technology, my family, WINE, Twilight (Edward),  fabulous friends, God and books. 

And I'm especially thankful for all my wonderful blog friends!!! 

I hope everyone has a wonderful Thanksgiving full of food, family and many things to be thankful for! 

My mom always taught me...

If you don't have anything nice to say, don't say anything at all! 

Lately, I've been in a funk. I've been choosing to see the bad in things instead of the good. I realize that I need change this and change it fast! I know that once I do, my marriage will be better, my friendships will be better and I will just have a better outlook on life. 

So... I'm going to use today as Thankful Thursday and make a list of some of the things I'm thankful for. 

1. I'm thankful that I have a loving, faithful husband who puts up with my crap.

2. I'm thankful that I have a roof over my head. 

3. I'm thankful that I have a wonderful family that always supports me.

4. I'm thankful that I have some pretty amazing friends.

5. I'm thankful for my mom. I don't know where I would be without her. 

6. I'm thankful that I have such amazing in-laws.

7. I'm thankful for all four of my little fur babies. 

8. I'm thankful for this blog and all my blog friends.

9. I'm thankful that I get to see my mom in September.

10. I'm thankful that God loves me. 

From today on, I'm choosing to see the good in things instead of the bad. I'm going to wake up each morning with a positive attitude and just be happy for the great things and people I have in my life.

Happy Thursday!

So... I fell off the blogging bandwagon again!!! I was doing so well with blogging at least every other day and then for some reason I just stopped! I'm such a bad, bad blogger!

I decided that something that might help me keep up with the blog this month would be to follow everyone else and list all the things I'm thankful for. Since I am a little behind, today will be a little bit of thankful overload!!!

1. First and foremost, I am thankful for God. He continues to amaze me every day in everything he does. Everything else I am thankful for would not be possible without God.

2. My husband - I seriously could not ask for a better spouse and best friend. I thank God every day for bringing me such a wonderful man.

3. My mom - She is the world's greatest mom. I am so thankful for the relationship that I have with her. I know she is always there for me and loves and accepts me for who I am. She is one of the main reasons I am who I am today.

4. Our house - Even though it is just a rental, I am so thankful that I have a roof over my head.

5.  Our dogs - They bring joy to my life every day. I am thankful the hubby got me our first puppy, Peanut, as a moving present. I am thankful that we were able to rescue our second puppy, Dossy, and provide a loving home for her.

6. My job - I am so thankful I have a job that I love. TJ Formal rocks!!!

7. My family - I am thankful that I have such a close family. Not everyone's family is close and I am so thankful that mine is. 

8. Our bed - I am very thankful for our comfy queen size bed. I love crawling into bed every night and despise having to get out of it in the morning.

Ok, I think I am caught up now!
