Snow Day!

We got dumped on last night by the beautiful white stuff. School was cancelled, but unfortunately I still have to go to work. Hopefully I can at least get some good pictures out of this. And can't wait to see the puppy out in this stuff.

Insomnia sucks!

It is 6am... and I've slept for just an hour and a half. Really? I mean, really?

And did you know that there is no website that has advice for fun things to do when you have insomnia?

Maybe that is what I need to do when I have insomnia.... build a website, and they will come. :)

Welcoming 2011

I just spent a few moments reading over my blog since I started it. Long time, lots of posts and pictures, and lots of 'updates.' I saw a trend. Long periods of time with no blog entries, and then an update on my life and an apology for not blogging, and a promise to do better. Ha.

So, now that I'm blogging today - I'm going to break that cycle! No promises for frequent blog entries. No big long update on what I've done in the last year. If you read this, then you know me well and you already know anyways!

I'm just going to jump right in and blog whenever I feel like it, about whatever I feel like it. So there! :)

Happy 2011 folks.

The Power of Gratitude - Day 2

1. I'm grateful for my husband today. He is usually a person very set in his routine, but today he completely adjusted to accomodate me. After work, he picked up Chelcie and took her to get a dress altered. Then picked up Alaina and waited for Paige to come home to babysit so he could go work out. Then picked up laundry soap and dinner. :) So nice to be able to work till 7pm with no guilt.

2. I'm grateful for my hat, gloves, and scarf. It is cold today!

3. I'm grateful for the 'forgotten' money that I remembered this morning. It is nice to have an extra $115 in savings that I forgot about.

The Power of Gratitude - Day 1

A friend recently sent me an article about the power of gratitude. The article moved me - and I quickly accepted a challenge presented in the article to spend the month of December journaling each day about things that I'm grateful for.

Today is December 1st. So here is the start of my journal.

1. I'm grateful for a new friend, Juli from Denver. She is the sweetest and is in town for a few weeks. Looking forward to dinner with her on Thursday.

2. I'm grateful for a husband understanding enough to accept the crazy work hours that I'll have over the next month.

3. I'm grateful to the kind lady at the Dept of Revenue who helped me deal with a tax return amendment issue.
