Just another manic Monday...

I was talking with my co-worker and good friend Yvonne today about how I felt I haven't had anything good to blog about recently - to which she responded, there's ALWAYS something good to blog about! (She's my blogging hero...)

So, as we sat in traffic on the way home, I got to thinking about all the things that happened today that I was grateful for...

1. I'm grateful my father-in-law's heart surgery was a success and he's back home, resting.
2. I'm grateful that my jeans fit this morning, right out of the dryer! No lunges needed!!
3. I'm grateful that I like my job AND I'm good at it - a rare combo.
4. I'm grateful I'm almost caught up on laundry. (Does anyone else get really far behind??)

Bruin also has a few things he's grateful for today:
1. He, too, is grateful that his Dad is doing well.
2. He's grateful that giving his wife a fantastic kiss can buy him 30 more minutes of playing Xbox.

Well, I must go start dinner. I hope everyone has a fantastic week and thinks about all the things they are grateful for, big or small.

What can Cricket do in 6 minutes?

Destroy a perfectly good stuffed animal...

In his defense, with Bruin and I being off from work for almost 2 weeks, he hadn't spent more than an hour in his kennel. So yesterday was a hard day for him (and us for that matter... 6:30 came WAY too early). The victim was a cute stuffed animal his friend Barkley gave him for Christmas. Poor thing had no chance...

Happy 2008!!!

New Years Day is bitter sweet for me... it was 5 years ago today that I lost my grandmother to cancer. She was my best friend and I miss her dearly. But exactly a year later, God blessed me with Bruin and now he's my best friend and I love him dearly. God never replaces the lost things in our lives - instead, he opens new parts of our heart we never knew we had.
I wish everyone a Happy New Year - filled with good health and lots of happiness.
