Thankful Thursday
- the sunshine! It's so nice to see it again after so much rain. It just makes the day so much better!
- good friends-I had breakfast with some girls from church this morning and it's so fun to just sit and chat and of course laugh!
- a wonderful family that enjoys being together and loves each other.
- my sweet husband who makes me laugh and not be so serious about things!
- how I see God working in our lives and those around us. More details soon....!!!
Are you thankful today? Next Thursday is the day we always focus on being thankful, but really we should be thankful every day not just at Thanksgiving. If you have a minute, let me know 1 thing you are thankful for today!

What Was I Thinking???
- Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Muffins-done!
- Morning Glory Muffins-done!
- Rice-done!
- Ground beef-has to be done today since it's already thawed.
- Applesauce-done! (I did this on Monday.)
- Yogurt-done! (I did this on Monday, too.)
- Pumpkin-DONE,DONE,DONE! Forever and Always, AMEN!
- Sweet Potatoes-didn't get to these and not planning to for awhile.
- Breakfast Casserole-didn't get to this but already did some prep work so maybe today?
- Cookies-no way! These will have to wait until...who knows when?
So without further ado, here's the picture...I think it looks pretty pitiful and not like much at all. After working so hard and then looking at the finished products I said, "That's all?" Oh, by the way, the pot is full of potatoes I boiled for the breakfast casserole and for supper tonight. I forgot to mention those in the list.
Now, I'm going to try and drag myself out of this recliner and get something done. And then, get back in the recliner! I think this rainy day is a perfect day to watch tv, do some scrapping, and try to forget that I've ever heard or uttered the words "baking day"!

It's That Time Again
- Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Muffins (these are a staple around our house!)
- Morning Glory Muffins (Becky and I made these when I was in OK.)
- Cook rice and bag for freezer.
- Cook ground beef and bag for freezer.
- Make applesauce in the crockpot using this recipe.
- Make yogurt.
- Bake our pumpkin and freeze puree (I've never tried this before but since we already have a pumpkin on our porch I decided I would try it and save money this year on buying canned pumpkin. I'm following the directions found here.)
- Bake sweet potatoes and bag for freezer.
- Make a breakfast casserole.
- Oatmeal Cranberry White Chocolate Chunk Cookies found here. (I'm not sure I'll have time to get to these but I put them on the list anyway.)
Well, that's the plan. I'm not sure I'll get to all of it but I'm going to try. I'm going to put on my apron, start my baking day music playlist on the computer, and get started. Stay tuned for a picture of the results tomorrow!

Busy Days
Yesterday, I spent most of the day with my friend Sarah. She's been here visiting her parents the last couple of days. So I went over yesterday and we had a wonderful time catching up on what's been going on in our lives. We've been friends since the 7th grade and I'm so thankful for her friendship. We talk on the phone fairly often but it doesn't matter how long it's been we always just pick up where we left off the last time. I'm so thankful for a friendship like that. The Lord has blessed me with several friendships like that and I'm so grateful for each one of them!

A Girls Day
As for today, I'm planning to get outside and do some walking. The sun has finally found it's way back to NC and I need to get out and get some exercise! After that I definitely have some housework that needs to be done. Tonight is Faith visitation and Choir Practice so it will be a busy Wednesday!

Annie
I'm hoping that "the sun will come out tomorrow" because it's pretty cloudy here today. :) We were planning to drive down to the beach this afternoon so Mitchell could do some fishing but I'm not sure the weather is going to cooperate. We're thinking tomorrow might be better since it's supposed to be sunny and in the 80's. I'm not sure I'll get him to wait, though, since he's been itching to go fishing all week.
Happy Friday!

Thankful Thursday
- I'm really, really, really thankful it's not last Thursday! :)
- My sweet husband who takes such good care of me!
- My family-we have such a good relationship and have so much fun whenever we're together.
- My many friends-both old and new! I've been blessed with some wonderful girlfriends! And I've even made some new ones recently through this blog which I think is really cool!
- This year of staying at home. It is and has been fabulous and I'm enjoying every single minute of it!
I know I could go on and on and fill up this entire page with all of my blessings. It's amazing how stopping to be thankful makes all of the worries and concerns and even complaints seem smaller and not as significant after all. Sometimes I think that the Lord has blessed me in so many ways that even if He never answered another prayer or blessed me in any other way that I would still be extremely blessed and thankful for all He's done in my life.
So what are thankful for today?? Just take a minute and think about it...your Thursday will be a much better day because of it!

Yucky
It was pretty yucky here yesterday and it's the same way today. It would be a great day to stay at home but I've got a doctor's appointment today. I'm finally getting the physical and TB test I need to be able to substitute in the county where I was teaching. I've put it off because I think it's so silly to have this done when I just stopped working there in June. I had to have a drug test, too. You would think after working there for 6 years that they would realize I would be okay to re-hire as a sub. Anyway...so I'm going to have it done today and hopefully be officially put on the sub list soon. I'm also hoping to get a haircut if she can work me in after lunch.
Hope your Tuesday is terrific!
