Day 18

Late. Again. Not much else to say about that.

So here's Day 18 of Thankful In 30...

1. I found another little piece of manna yesterday at Wal-Mart in the form of...

BETTY CROCKER

OATMEAL CHOCOLATE CHIP

COOKIE MIX!!!!!

Can you tell I'm WAAAY excited?!?!? I made some up last night and WOW! They are excellent! I ate mostly dough last night-didn't bake a single cookie. But today, I baked the leftover dough and YUMMY! Best cookies from a mix EVER. So yeah, I'm pretty thankful for that.

2. I'm VERY thankful for a free weekend to go see Z. I'm leaving right when I get off work today and we're going to have some down time tonight to just be together and then tomorrow we're going to the Plano Hot Air Balloon Festival. If you're in the area, it looks like it's gonna be a blast! Perfect weather, entertainment, hot air balloon and fireworks...does life get any better than this??? Yes, it does-only $5 to get in. I can't tell you how excited I am about the weekend. For some reason, the preparation involved with going out of town really excites me so I was thankful for last night and getting ready to leave.



3. I'm really thankful for compliments. At the risk of sounding extremely egotistical, I would like to say thank you to those of you who dish out the praise. It's not always needed, most of the time, I'm ok without it. But every once in a while, it's nice to hear the kind words. In the past few days, I've had several compliments on my clothes (even $7 shirts), hair (that has been 2 different colors in 2 days), blog (more people read than just Mom & Dad!?!?!) and-most significantly-Coach purse (similar to the one at right that my brother actually bought me in NYC-a girl actually took a pic of it w/her phone so she could remember it). So a huge thanks to those of you who aren't afraid to offer the compliments-they aren't taken lightly. You guys are the best for lifting my spirit and helping my self-esteem. You're the best!

I probably won't post again til Sunday since I'll be at Z's. But no worries, I'll be mentally tracking my TI30 list so I can share with you guys. In the stead (thanks to my fave college professor for that phrase), you all have a fabulous weekend and enjoy yourselves!

Blessings,
B
