2/4/11 Close Call

This morning as I was driving down the road a deer jumped out in front of my car to run across the street. I was looking in my mirror making sure the sleep was out of my eyes when she first jumped out. Luckily I looked down in enough time to see her and hit the breaks. I am so glad that I didn't hit her. She bounded off unharmed, though probably scared. I am glad that there was no injury to the deer, the car, or me.

I am thankful I did not hit the deer that jumped out in front of my car this morning.

2/3/11 Chairs

Today I picked up my chairs from the reupholstery shop. The gentleman did a very nice job on my chairs. The fabric I picked looks very nice and I am happy with the results. My step-mother paid for them to be done and so my fancy new chairs cost me nothing. Another aspect to be thankful for. They were all ripped up and horrible and now they are fancy!

I am thankful for my chairs.

2/2/11 Baby

My cousin Kristina had her second baby. Landon Richard Eseman. He is healthy and extremely cute. A lot of newborns look kind of funny but he looks really good. Everyone is doing well. Mother, father and big sister. Congratulations Kristina and Connelly.

I am thankful for the birth of my healthy second cousin Landon.

After way too many days of rain, the sun is out today. What a relief.

I am thankful for the sunshine today.

1/31/11 Coats

I own about a million coats. A love I inherited from my father. I had 3 wool coats and I recently purchased another. But this one is purple and therefore, different. I got it for a screaming good deal and I have received so many compliments on it so I consider it a good buy. It is fun to wear on dark winter days. It helps put a little color in to my life. Especially since I generally wear black all the time.

I am thankful for my purple wool coat.

1/30/11 Bye Bye Love

I love smartfood. When I was in high school I went to Ocean Shores with the youth group from church where the Gardner's introduced us. I had never had it before. But it was so good. I am in a show that opens in March and so I have decided to start a very strict healthy eating regiment. Tomorrow. So that made today "bye bye to delicious food" day. I ate nearly a whole bag of the delicious popcorn. I was saving room for some cookies and mac and cheese. Some pretty good comfort foods. But my milk had spoiled so I used water to make the mac and cheese and it wasn't as good so now I wish I had eaten all the popcorn. :( I will eat you again some day. Hopefully a wiser portion, but a portion nonetheless. Yum.

I am thankful for Smartfood.

1/29/11 Food and Friends

Tonight Jason and I went out to dinner with Eric and Stacie. We went to Henry's in the Pearl. Even though we had to wait a long time for a table, the evening didn't seem long. We had a lot of fun just talking. They are really a great couple. They will be getting married in July and Jason is going to perform their ceremony. Pretty cool. And they are perfect for one another. I am so glad that they found each other. Online date if you can believe it! With the busy schedule I lead, I am glad that I get to take a step out once in awhile and enjoy a good time with friends.

I am thankful for my night out tonight with some really great friends.
