A thankful me - 15

Oh hello, Monday. We meet again.

How iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiis everyone!? That’s a question I haven’t asked you guys in a long time! Please please tell me!

This past week has been pretty busy and exhausting and I have to say sleeping in on the weekend was the greatest thing ev-eh!! And then staying in my comfies the whole time was also the greatest thing ev-eh.

I want to give a huge shout out to Lisa, Erin and Lindsay for linking up to the self portrait challenge. You ladies did a beautiful job and are so great for taking the time to play along. Thank you! If you haven’t had a chance to see their pictures, you must check them out. They’re beautiful.

This lovely Monday, I’m thankful for:
- new challenges and busy schedules.
- skype calls with G-man. You know how you say at the beginning that you have nothing to talk about but then 2 hours later, you’re still on the call? Yeah, that was us. Love those conversations.
- getting a $60 pair of jeans (my first colored jeans, no less) for $6 at Kohl’s. I’m in love!
 
- stormy days. All this rain has been great.
- a gas fireplace for the moments the power goes out. Which it did for 1 1/2 hours. I set up candles all up and down my apt. to light my every step. Thank goodness I own 100 votive candles! They sure came in handy!


- the fact I randomly charged my iPhone before the power went out. I always charge it while I’m sleeping but chose to do it that evening. If I hadn’t it would have died. No power, no phone…who would I have been!?!
- food that others think are good but I think aren’t. {mom, feel free to roll your eyes on this} I made the chicken enchiladas on pinterest that everyone raves are the best they’ve ever had…well…I’m a weirdo and despise anything resembling a casserole. Once I started stirring in the sour cream, I had a feeling they’d taste like one and sure enough, I could barely stomach eating them. The consistency is what I abhor. All that to say, I’m braving having them for leftovers this week, which may induce gagging/dry heaving..and sadly, I’m not joking, but please make them! I know others who love them! Oh and I burnt the garlic bread…I’m so my mother’s daughter.


- the crisp clean sunny days immediately following the storms. Its so smoggy and gross here, I relish those fresh aired days.

Oh, by the way, I did in fact hear a farmer’s cherry orchard was ruined due to our crazy storms, so I was right! If you see fruit at ridiculous prices this season, you sadly know why.

Hope everyone had a glorious weekend! Share with me the goodies.
