Whatta week! This has been a hard week for me, lots going on that left me mentally and emotionally exhausted each day. In fact most days, once I got home from work I didn't bother making dinner even. Just did a little computering and went to bed. Because of that, each day I was searching literally for something to write down on my "gratitude list" I keep on my laptop desktop. Luckily, Saturday saved me! Here we go February 6 - 12, 2011:
* Sunday, I did as many others, and was tuned into the Super Bowl. Couldn't tell you what happened as I really didn't watch a minute of the game, just tuned in to catch the commercials. But one thing I took out of the football game is being thankful for the "Underdogs". The Packers took the ring home and for me having the team that people didn't expect to win, do so, is priceless. No matter what the occasion, I always root for the underdog!
* Nothing says yummy breakfast more so than Honey-Butter melted into a Biscuit. Mmmmmm Good! Now don't mistake this for a homemade biscuit, 'cause this girl can barely cook....but a Pillsbury Grand Flaky frozen biscuit is just fine by me! Top that with equal parts of creamy butter mixed with a creamed honey (you may find creamed honey at Trader Joe's-fyi) and it is deliciouso!
* Had a situation this week where a friend stepped out on a limb and spoke up about something that was going on (sorry I cannot elaborate anymore out of respect for all those involved), but I am so very grateful to this person. She is a little dynamo and because of her bravery and hutspah, my week ended on a much higher note than it had started on. I am so grateful for new friends and old friends who make my life so special. Thank you!!
* SUNSHINE! Thank the Lord!!! St. Louis has finally broken out of the cold temps and duldrum grey skies; the sun has broken through and the melting of snow/ice has begun! This morning as I looked up to the sky, I saw what I thought was a part of a rainbow but it was just one little circular spot on a cloud that must have been refracting the sun's rays and there was a prism of color that seemed to brighten as I gazed. Sun glorious sun!
* Got myself a new hairdo today and topped it off with a fresh new shade of Golden Blonde! Have yet to style it to see what it is I have, but my asymmetrical one-length swing bob has been replaced with a just above the shoulder long-layered bobbity do-hicky cut :) Not sure exactly but I had layers cut in and some length cut off and a bang cut in although my bang length is down to my lip so I am not really sure why I or anyone else bothers to call it a bang?
* I was the recipient of a Valentine's gift today from my friend and cousin Robin. Three little handmade pouches to use in my purse and they are just spectacular. The colors are springy and the prints are fun and a little bit funky! I adore them and plan on having them help organize my purse and keep me from the daily digging to find the things that get hidden on the bottom of a purse. Thank you so much Robin, I love them!!!
It's now dinnertime on my Saturday, fixing to just "chill" for the evening and start a spectacular week tomorrow ... hope you will be joining me in doing the same!
