Thankful for...
1. Airplanes! Kristopher will be home for a few days in 27 days.... Not that I'm excited or anything. Thanksgiving will be coming early in this household.
2. FedEx, mind you it still takes a week to get to him.... I am ever so excited and enthralled by sending him fun care packages. ( I know he probably is more excited to get them then he lets on, but I get too excited in putting them together and mailing them off) aka- battleship is on its way....
3. Creativity and time, seriously soothing to me, and I don't understand what others do to relax and enjoy their 'me time'....
4. Wine.....I seriously am not allowed to purchase anymore until we move.... Bc I enjoy buying it.... Quicker then I am drinking it ( understandably not the worst probably to have, your welcome Kristen, but still wine could get messy to move)
5. Coffee... Bc enjoying my mornings before work starts with a nice pot of coffee

Oh boy... Mobile app
So i just discovered a mobile blogger app, meaning pictures should reemerge to my blog... so you can see things like...
And
And...
Oh yeah...still trying to get my feet to fit in them ; )
thank ful monday?!?
Ok, so honestly I have been thinking since Friday about this, and the Ipad continues to error out when I go to add a new post, go figure... anyhow, never to late for this!
This week I am extremely thankful for....
1. Skype, although its still not at all the same as being with my husband, we have spent a few hours on skype chatting and hanging out, a step away from a phone call and closer to being together... so i'd say this week was a better week for both of us thanks to technology!
2. Tranmission fluid changes... so I was late on doing it... it improved my gas mileage 5 miles a gallon immediately.... wonderful-ness
3. Friends in Bend... had a pleasant relaxing trip out there this week... and to see the fuzzy new puppy!!!
4. Ocean rolls... (I will try and take a picture next time I'm in Bend) they are deliciousness beyond remembering, I mean, it was even more delicious then I remember, and I know it was good.
5. Co-workers willing to come pick you up and bring you home for work. (I lost my keys and searched for 3 hours on friday.... with no luck finding them until I went to work and the roommate found them hiding in a place I checked 4 times)
Hope you had a wonderful week, I'll be back soon, hopefully promptly on Friday!

Better today
Ok, apologies for the semi-agonizing note yesterday... today is a new day, with a fresh night of sleep, a fresh pot of coffee and the outlook for a delicious crock pot meal waiting when I get home from dinner. The motivation to enjoy a warm meal when that happens and to stamp a few cards for important people that deserve them. Oh the life I have signed up for....
oh and btw, if you are looking for an area rug USArugs.com has free shipping and a huge discount going on right now..... and some amazingly wonderful rugs... which I am not buying... because I am restraining myself due to a pending move, potentially to Korea... where I wouldn't take a rug. But you should buy one so I can drool over how wonderful it is and how great a deal you got. : ) And then I can pay down the rest of the CC so I can actually have saving and spending money for random things like this... next year.
Ok, obviously I am in a better mood, the dragging thoughts of "..." are present in my blog, even though I know its not correct usage, I still like to do it. The rebel in me.

thankful for....
ok so i'm going to be brutelly honest, I am in the pits. I am lonely... not because I don't have people around, but because the Mr. is 3,000 miles away and misses me tons... thus I have to be strong, and supportive and happy and loving. Its harder than you'd think.
Soooo Friday Five is hard right now... mentally I know its the end of the month, every new line counts for another multiplier basically, I just had two days off... but I feel like calling in sick... making cards that need to be positive and happy (along with a sympathy card I need to make, a congrats and a thank you... all way past due), which seems not fun either... but I know I can't... that its kinda shooting myself in the foot... and won't make me feel better, in fact may make me feel worse.
Tomorrows Saturday... I hope its busy, like busy how its been the rest of this month... hopefully with new lines, that aren't Iphone5's, I know it'll make me money when they hit next month, or in November... but right now I need a few more for September...
Anyhow, that makes sense to, oh, one of you....
now on with the thankful fors'... which lets be honest, even if I am not in the best mood I should find something to be thankful for, maybe it will even help.
1. Thankful for Ruby... honestly, the best company at home I can ask for.
2. Unlimited minutes, because although the husband doesn't talk a ton, I can talk with him, my mom, his mom, and the sisters/friends, and anyone else my heart desires without giving a care in the world
3. The humbling sense of honesty, integrity and lack of greed.... there are too many people I work with that lack these qualities, and are so self focused and it's sad... help your co-workers get a freakin' paycheck, instead of hoping to get paid more than you are already racking in... it won't kill you.
4. A clean bath tube drain.. why did I not pull the thing apart and clean in when it first started to slow down draining I don't know. But now I feel so clean and accomplished... dork I know...
5. Pinterest... although I am lonely and starting to need to figure out other things to distract me... you do a great job of fueling projects and food (If I could only eat as fast as the meals I would like to make...)
whew... that was tough, honestly... there are so many things (small things, things I can not do anything about) that I am upset about or annoyed about... but that doesn't help me... this in some small way may... ehhh...
have a wonderful weekend

Thankful for...
Today may be skewed slightly by a 12 1/2 hour work day and the launch of the iPhone 5.... Just saying.
1. Thankful for the excitement of people that decide to move to smart phones on their own after owning the same basic phone for 6 + years, and think its "magical" because honestly after 10 hours of hype, these easy going decently tech savvy but easily impressed customers were wonderful. (Grant it... I am sorta impressed with the iphone5 and sorta want one,.... Even though I can't have one til like... My birthday bc of my job...( my birthday is in may : P) )
2. A glass of wine, and the fact that half if it as enough for this Irish light weight... (Yes I finally admit it)
3. Candy corn salt water taffy, I swear I thought the only place I could get it was knotts berry farm... No folks, Fred Meyers has it! I may turn into a giant piece by Halloween, just so you know...
4. Csr's who did all the phone book transfers yesterday morning.... The most irritating disgruntle machine in the Verizon store to me in times of high stress.... (Funny parent is they all got a $25 recognizing you aka-gift card to their choice in stores and I have yet to ever receive one....so ironic)
5. Coffee.. Because let's be honest, yesterday's 7:30 report time, and tomorrow and Mondays similar report time for running workshop classes is going to seem freakin' early. And coffee is delicious, and I'm shad of everyone and already digging into the peppermint mochas.... Although I know I can get them year round, which the majority of the population doesn't.... Again the irony of marketing and seasonal demands.
Enjoy your weekend... It's finally fall here... I can see my breathe in the am when I take the dog out and there is dew O the grass, bring on scarfs, headbands and stylis? Ok... Time for a weekend when I put stylis in there.

Tuesday ten?
Ok so I missed a week or two, so in an effort to redeem myself, we have a Tuesday ten...
1. Thankful for Portland, until traveling across country by car I did not truly appreciate the proximity to coffee and local beer ( more the coffee aspect) that Portland provides, well the west coast for that matter.
2. Family, because that made the road trip much more fun and enjoyable.
3. Weekends.... I have rediscovered what can be done and enjoyed in two consecutive days off..mits unbelievable... And I truly have no clue when I last had two days at home.
4. National parks, such wonderful gems of this country where preserved and protected.
5. Cameras - captured such wonderful shots during our trip ( of course the camera and the iPad and google are at war so getting you a preview is proving to be difficult currently )
6. Fruit....dried fruit such as apples.. Are amazing
7. Phones, I realize how few people iLife close to, but the phone lets me reach those I wish I lived next to... And my husband.... I couldn't imagine not being able to talk to him daily right now
8. Ruby, honestly this house was empty without her, and I missed her lots when Kristopher had her.
9. Pinterest, you provide me with too many activities and crafts to do, but some are ingenious and wonderful
10. My husband, although I knew this first year was going to be tough ( and probably tougher then many marriages first year) the first 3 1/2 months have been crazy, unexpected, and demanding in so many ways, but upon this we are building a strong foundation and continue to push on... But I can say I can not wait until we are in the same state again (let alone time zone!)
