Thankful Sunday on Sunday!!

This week it has to be Meghan's and Hannah's relationship: Honestly if they were not sisters I don't think they would ever be friends but, as sisters they are the best of friends. They respect each other and their differences and believe me there are MANY differences. They love spending time together and they make time for each other. Nothing about their lives are the same except for the fact that they are both young, successful ladies living on their own. The way they go about doing this is as different as night and day. They know each others' needs better than anyone and they allow for that. Hannah is great about packing up and going to Meghan's for the week end because Meghan seems to have a harder time leaving "her space". Meghan is great to let Hannah sleep in while she takes care of the dogs early in the morning because you don't want Hannah starting the day on a lack of sleep. Meghan tells me all the time that she thinks her sister is the funniest person she knows and Hannah is more than happy to keep Meghan laughing after one of Meghan's many long and trying days as a DFCS worker. I am thankful they have each other and I am sure that when the time comes they will be able to work out the biggest difference in opinion that they have: Who gets Momma and Daddy when they can't take care of themselves. : ) Remember girls your momma and daddy love you!!

Happy Anniversary

This is what I came home to on Friday afternoon.

Tom had planned a surprise week end getaway for our 28th anniversary. He did all the work, of course, so all I had to do was enjoy it. I don't think I disappointed him.

My knight cooking for me.

Breakfast anyone?

Our 50 pound lap dog had a great time also! Isn't she a sweet baby.

The view from the hammock.

Time for a snack.

Dazi and her monkey.

And then the week end came to an end. I'm now looking forward to the next 28!

P.S. See I had a good reason for missing my Sunday thankful list.

Thankful Sunday

Yes I know it's Tuesday already!!! I am determined to do my weekly thankful list even if it is two days late.

My red PT Cruiser, her name is Polly. I waited SEVEN years for her and I've had her for over two. I still love her!! Great car.

The North GA Mountains, the place Tom and I hope to call home one day.

The United States of America, I have always been proud to be an American. I just love this country.

Good check ups at the eye Dr., no bleeding in my eye which means no painful laser surgery! And I don't have to go back for a whole 6 months.

Good night or should I say morning........

I Just Don't Get It

I thought the purpose of getting an ID from someone when they use their debit/credit card was so you could be sure it's the same person. HOW IS THAT DONE WITHOUT MAKING EYE CONTACT WITH THE PERSON?? I continue to be amazed when I am asked for my ID and after barely glancing at it AND never comparing the picture to the person in front of them the cashier hands the ID back and completes the transaction. I just don't get it..............

Thankful Sunday

Big Wine Glasses, no explanation needed.

Sunshine, which I have not seen enough of in this wonderful new year!

Rebecca @ Indulge Day Spa, Saturday's surprise from my knight in shinning armour. Thank you both.

Coffee, there's nothing like it first thing in the a.m.

Kristy and family in Fla., wonderful friends, because they seem to know that we love them even though we are not very good at staying in touch. (I really would like to come down SOON for a long week end.)

What a day........

These are my magic shoes. They don't really help me run very fast, as they are not running shoes, but, they are RED and I love the color RED!!! So I wear my magic shoes to work on days when I know it wouldn't take a lot for things to go wrong. You know those days when you have a lot to do and you really don't even feel like being at work. So I put on my shoes and headed out. Things had to get done today and I was on day number 5 without my work keys. I am really lost without those keys. In over four years I had never lost my work keys. Then it happened. Right before our Holiday break I could not keep up with my keys. I was having to use Rachael's all the time. It didn't seem to bother her much but, it drove me crazy!! Then again this week I lost them! Well, once again Tom's my hero. After looking in my car millions of times he took pity on me and checked it out himself. Guess what he came in with.

Rachael said it best, "tell Tom we love him."


Also today, without explaining the whole long story, here's an email exchange between me and a salesmen:

Subject: Hey

Checking to see if you needed any toner cartridges?

Sincerely,

Subject:RE: Hey

Funny story, I spoke to you over a month ago when you called to say that you would be visiting our campus. I told you how the toner cartridges in my printer, the ones from your company, had leaked out on to the printer image transfer kit, for the second time and you told me you would come clean the printer and I could order more toner at that time. I’m still waiting for your visit. In the mean time I ordered toner from XXXXXXX.


His reply:


I deserve it. I still haven’t made it on campus. If the printer still needs some maintenance I’ll take care of it.

XXXXXXXX

Not exactly an apology but, he did take responsibility. I guess I'll give him a call next week.

All in all it was a good Friday. Have a good week end.

Thankful Sunday.......on Monday

Long week-ends!!!! I have so enjoyed my 3 day week end I forgot that yesterday was Sunday. Forgive me.

Girl's Night. For the first time in months some of us got together for dinner and a movie. I had a lot of fun eating and catching up. {"Bride Wars", I thought it was cute. The beginning was the best.}

My Craft Room. I want everyone to know that I spent several hours scrap booking yesterday and today. Made all the more fun because Tom and I did it together.

Cell Phones. Hannah flew to Las Vegas this morning and was able to call me from her cell phone as soon as she landed. Family rule: When traveling by plane, call mom as soon as the plane lands. Not when you get your luggage, not when you get off the plane, but, as soon as the wheels touch the runway. Mom worries.

Back to scrap booking.
