Random Sunday Thoughts

It's 9:15 and I'm sitting in my living room wishing I had a laundry fairy. I really don't mind washing my laundry--how hard is it to put in some clothes, add some detergent, turn a knob and wait an hour before transferring them to a machine right beside it, turn another knob and wait another hour for the clothes to be dry--but what I do hate is having to fold it all, hang it up, and put it away. It just takes forever!

I can NOT believe it's already March. January and February flew by! I'm not complaining, but whoa, it went fast! I'm really bummed that I won't get a spring break this year. Boo for being in the real world.

I really need for $20,000 to fall into my lap (without me having to pay it back). I went to a home show today and got the itch to change up my kitchen. I want some mosaic back splash, new counter tops, and white cabinets in my kitchen.

I'm off to do all that laundry that my laundry fairy forgot. Have a great week! 

Epic fail

Well, since it's been almost an entire month since I've posted here, I guess I failed at my attempt of writing "Thankful things" everyday. I really have no excuse, other than my life is full and crazy. I've had crazy days at work, family activities and I've been sick. Please know that my life is full of things to be thankful for. I'm an incredibly blessed girl and I'm forever grateful for my bazilliontrillion blessings.

So instead of making up for it,  rest assured that I'll (hopefully!!) be back much more frequently than the last month. Sometimes with thankful things post, sometimes not. You'll just have to check in to see. :)

Here's to more frequent blogging. 

P.S. For the record, my four legged friend is still the cutest girl chi-weenie on the planet.  Duh.

Happy Monday!!!

Day 12

Man, what a day! I awoke today to find out that my toilet which was definitely not working last night was magically working! It flushed fine and nothing came up from the bathtub! And then later in the day, I walked into my bathroom and there was some funky looking grime in the tub. Insert major "UUUUUUGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!" here. After some more plunging and praying, it was determined that a plumber will be called first thing Monday morning. Which leads me to my list of things I'm thankful for today!

1) The fact that I have somewhere easy and clean to take a shower tomorrow! (Thanks, mom!)
2) Paper towels. No idea if that was really poop in the tub, but if so, those paper towels my Mom used to clean them up sure saved the day!
3) Text messages
4) Good customer service (at AT&T no less!)
5) iTunes.

Keep your fingers crossed that the plumbing issue can be (quickly!!!) easily fixed and not cause me 900 million dollars.

Here goes!

2) My incredible parents
3) The most amazing sister in the world
4) My very favorite brown dog, Sadie Jane
