So, I kinda wanted to post a photo or maybe a handwritten note, just something different to wish you all a Happy Thanksgiving. But it didn't happen... and that's ok.
Seriously though. A couple things I am definitely thankful for:
- a laundry mat right up the street when our $35 (oh yeah, lasted 6 months too!) washing machine finally kicked the bucket.
- the fact that even though we had to miss Neil's family's thanksgiving last Sunday, tomorrow we get to see his mom, dad, siblings and grandparents and that makes me happy.
- memories of meeting my sweet baby niece. editing pictures of her a little each day to keep those memories that much more fresh.
- making broccoli casserole for my family's thanksgiving tomorrow. happy to also be bringing a big bag of kettle corn bought fresh from a stand outside our grocery store this morning. love those fun surprises.
- cheesy bacon waffle fries that I made today for lunch. (seriously, just organic shredded cheese, some bacon bits I had in the freezer from the last batch and alexia waffle fries. goodness me oh my.)
- that Neil is home with me until Monday. Even though we need the money and we were planning on him working today and Friday... I will never ever complain about a chance to be with him.
- good therapy this week where I was told I get to take some memories and beat the crap out them. I'll leave you to think what you want about that. it's good for me.
Lastly, the lovely miss kayla tagged me, and since I was already making a list, here are 6 quirky things about me:
1. I'm going through an "everything must be cheesy" phase. I just ate a bowl of cheesy broccoli and mushrooms. And yeah, remember the statement about cheesy bacon waffle fries? I'm sad, because I try to limit dairy but man.... cheeeeeeese.
2. I love the movie 40 Year Old Virgin. We're watching it on USA right now. just cracks me up. I'm really a big fan of 15 year old boy humor. yeeeaaah.
3. I take too many family photos. Half of it is because I love these people, I love these memories. Half of it is because I just love being behind a camera, I can't help myself. Getting ready to post a whole bunch of new albums from the past few years on facebook so I can share with family. That's the only way I can justify the massive amount of pics I have.
4. I'm addicted to Method soy candles (I don't mind modified soy products I don't eat so much, haha...) right now. Some of them come in these amazing white ceramic bowls, they are so perfect and pretty. Once the candles were burned down, I just wiped out the leftover wax and have been reusing them with votives.
5. Sometimes I use caps properly. sometimes I don't. I usually intend to do one or the other but most of the time it ends up a mix and I'm sure it bugs the crud out of the grammar conscious. Or anyone who got through elementary school really.
6. I could come up with a million things for this type of thing when I'm not typing. I rehearse blog posts all the time when I'm not actually at the computer. But then I get on, I go to typepad, and I go blank. Which probably explains why my 6 quirky thing aren't all that quirky or even interesting! that's ok though. I really should write things down more so I don't do this to myself.
And I tag.... everyone of course!
It's time for bed, I'm excited to get up tomorrow, cook and get dressed up much more than usual and go EAT!!
Have a beautiful Thanksgiving everyone!
