It's Ok, I'm Thankful


Time for “It’s ok” & Thankful Thursday, hosted by Neely, Amber and Tracy!

It’s ok… 
… that, between yesterday and today, I’ve eaten almost half of the banana bread that I baked yesterday morning all by myself. I used applesauce in place of butter (which actually works really well!), so it’s really not as bad as it could have been. :)
... to be lazy sometimes.
… to enjoy having the bed all to myself for an hour (ok, maybe two…) after Justin gets up for work. Even though I like to snuggle, there’s just something so wonderful about lying diagonally across the whole bed.
… to be too cranky and tired to get up early enough to look cute at work.

… that I still haven’t gone through our bags to unpack from last weekend. I’ve just had better things to do, I guess.
However, it is NOT ok… that my face has decided to break out like teenager, thus postponing my first anniversary reenactment/belated 2nd anniversary photo shoot :(

And now onto giving thanks.


I’m thankful …
… for my Aunt and Papa who had us over for a delish 4h of July dinner last night.
… for my sister.
... for chocolate.

... for The Hunger Games Trilogy.




… for my job… even though it sort of sucks sometimes.
… for my bloggy friends. You guys are awesome. :)
… for my husband, for the following reasons:

- he spent almost 2 hours cleaning our boat in 90+ degree weather, only to take it out for  3 hours on the water and to get it all dirty again.
- he tolerates my fear of being in the water alone {Jaws & Lake Placid scarred me for life… } and lovingly provides me with the necessary accommodations
- he rubbed my back last night while we watched The Descendants, which was totally not his kind of movie {it was a good one by the way… semi-depressing though}
- he shares my fear hatred spiders, but in a less severe form
- he secretly loves to snuggle
- and yesterday, while we were watching the fireworks on the lake, he had a moment of revelation and thankfulness, and told me how lucky we are. He has such a good heart. :)

It's Ok, Thankful Thursday & 50 Followers!

 It's time for 'It's Ok Thursday' with Neely @ A Complete Waste of Makeup & Amber @ Brunch with Amber





Its Ok Thursdays


It's ok... that I was up until 1:00am last night reading Catching Fire and the only reason I stopped was because hubby woke up and said, "Do you really have to have the TV on and all the lights on and be reading? Can't you go in the other room? " (Awwww, poor sleepy J)

It's ok... that I raised my eyebrows THREE times at work today while noticing some bad interesting fashion choices: scrunchies, sleeveless mini-dresses & spaghetti strap tank tops. Since WHEN is a sleeveless mini-dress or a spaghetti strap tank office appropriate??!! And scrunchies? Really? Is it 1997? It's one thing when you're in your jams at home, but, I'm sorry, a scrunchie just doesn't go with an A-line skirt and pretty blouse.

It's ok... that I was basically afraid of the dark last night after watching some new TV show (Final Victim, I think?) on ABC. The show details the real-life events of people who were attacked & murdered in various ways and one victim miraculously survives and justice is (hopefully) served. It's on at like 10 o'clock at night and I watched it. GOOD IDEA, CLAIRE!!

It's ok... that I sometimes prefer the Glee cover of a song to the original...

It's ok... that I do multiple linky-party posts a week. Deal with it. :)
I think Neely said it well here... Who has the right to make up "Blog Rules" anyway? You don't like? Then you don't read.

And now it's time to join in for Thankful Thursdays with Then I Got To Thinking!



And here's what I'm thankful for this week:


I'm thankful for J... He did all the dishes and picked up the house while I was at the laundry mat last night. :)

I'm thankful for friends & our mini-vacay up north this weekend!

I'm thankful for bagles and tea and greek yogurt.

I'm thankful for my family and a nice dinner for Papa's 83rd birthday.

I'm thankful for my followers! I'm just 2 new bloggy friends away from having 50 followers! How cool!

I'm thankful for Channing Tatum. Anyone see his appearance on The Today Show yesterday?!
One word: Wow...
*Sigh*
