Happy Thanksgiving!

via

I hope you have all had a wonderful time with your family and friends!

I am very fortunate to be able to celebrate with both Justin's family as well as mine... it just makes us beyond stuffed by the end of today!

Today I am truly thankful for:

My family
My friends and blog friends
To be this precious little girls' Godmother!For my health
For my job, it may be stressful, but to me it just means job security
For my condo, a place that I can call home

We're off to my grandma and grandpa's for round 2 of turkey day!

Thankful Thursday

• I am so thankful for the beautiful weather we have been having... although its supposed to rain this weekend - its so nice not to be bundled up underneath winter layers any longer and we can just enjoy the outdoors. I am LOVING running outside, having the sunroof open on the way home from work (dont judge if I still have my heated seats on), wearing sunglasses, and pulling out the spring clothes! LOVE IT! I sure hope Spring is here to stay!

• Its the little things in my life that make me the most happy - like file folders. I picked these bad boys up at Target the other day in the dollar spot - and boy do I love them - they just add so much color to my desk - and they have polka dots - and you know that nothing makes me more happy than polka dots and being organized!

• I am thankful that Jeff {JM's dad} came over this past weekend and painted my bathroom. This is something that I have wanted to do since I moved into my condo back in May 2007, however I have never gotten around to it - not a top priority as you can tell. We changed the color from a light blue to Spa by Behr. Love it! Although I love the blue, it doesnt match the master bedroom {maybe ill do a post about my master bedroom this weekend so you can see what I'm talking about}.

The new and improved bathroom

• I bought this little coat as an impulse move at Target a few years ago - I love.love.love it, however I haven't been able to wear it for the past few years because I gained so much weight - well guess what - were back in action! I can now fit into it again - and I forgot how cute it was. I find myself wearing brown just so I can rock the coat - is that bad? ha! So I am thankful that it fits again.

• I am thankful that I now have a running group - well kinda. Ashley, JM and I went for an organized run that was put on by the company where I bought my running shoes from - and although I might have been the last one in - it felt good. I'm excited for next week - it can only make me a better runner (I use the term Runner and I in the same sentence very lightly - but we all have to start somewhere!)
  
• I'm VERY thankful that I have a hair cut tonight - it needs it badly. Maybe 8 weeks is a little too long to go (I was trying to watch the budget - but the $35 haircut might just be worth it! ha) I am hoping that she will be able to show me how to wear my headbands that I have been busy making - I love them, and I love how they look on other people, I just think I look like a 6 year old. So hopefully I can wear my new obsession soon without looking pathetic!

What are you thankful for on this Thursday?

BloggerBlock and Thankful Thursdays

Do you ever have days when you have Blogging Block? Ha - well the last few days that has happened to me.... I have been struggling to get off of vacation mode, we have loads of laundry to catch up on (thanks JM for doing them), a house to clean, miles to run on the treadmill to make up for last week, and LOTS of DVR'd shows that are just begging me to watch them, and on top of all of that I don't have a laptop that is working currently b/c of the power cord breaking. So sitting down at a desk top does not seem as conducive to multi-tasking with watching a dvr'd show and blogging.... so now that I have thrown myself a small pitty party I thought I would go back to the handy dandy schedule which I created at the beginning of my blogging journey - and with that being said today is Thankful Thursday.....

Today I am thankful for:

• All of the bday celebrations that have happened over the past week, I have the best family, friends, and co-workers that anyone could ever want
• Having the most amazing girl friends... I feel if I am ever having a down day or if I need a good laugh all I have to do is call, text or BBM them and I know that I will have a better day
• Finding a running partner in the gym - who said that I (yes you read that correctly) motivated her to run!
• Finding a new lip gloss that I LOVE!!! Shiny-licious by maybelline - raiz'n razzle - not only does it look amazing on - but it tastes like a berry martini- YUMMM!
  
• For JM's IPod Touch that he lets me use when I'm on the treadmill - its amazing that Black Eyed Peas - Imma Be will motivate me to run that much more, perhaps I should play it on constant repeat! LOVEY that song!
• Fitting into pants that I haven't worn in 2 years - I feel as if I have a whole new wardrobe!
  

And not but not least

• I'm thankful that this season of the Bachelor is coming to an end on Monday - I don't know how much more of chach*ball Jake I can handle... BRING ON ALIE!

As you can tell by the things I am thankful for this week - my life has been pretty boring lately, but the month of march promises to be much more eventful (with baby showers, baptisms, st patty's day and bdays!)

Happy Thursday Blogging friends- I hope its a great one :)
