Mini List

My mini list of why I'm grateful this Tuesday, November 25, 2008:

• I'm clean and sober and able to be fully present in my life!
• I have a wonderful husband who puts up with my type A self!
• I have a beautiful and smart little girl who just keeps amazing me more and more each day!
• I don't weigh 257 lbs. anymore. I'm becoming a much healthier person (I really have to take my vitamins daily). Though I have road blocks at times with my health I am so much better than I was at the end of 2006 and 2007.
• I have my family in my life today and I'm able to be there for them.
• I have a job that allows me to work fully from home if I need to making it easier to be there for my daughter.

Just a mini list of gratitude to remind me how good I really do have it...

A day of rest....

It started last night with a date to see Sweeney Todd and getting in late helped me to finally sleep in and....

Oh the house is so quiet....Yes, I've been a bum all day and loving it. I've watched Red Dragon, napped, played on E's new cell phone, read email, napped some more, and when I'm done with this post, yes I will nap again until 3PM. E is out and it's just me and Christmas T.V.

I really don't miss K, OK I miss her but I'm enjoying doing nada today but being a bum.

Tonight we have E & my b-day dinners with our parents and his family. That should be nice. I love gazpacho and E's mother is making it for my b-day.

Well, off to my nap. Just had to post for me to see that I've had a day for me (:

Seven Random Facts about Moi

So I've been tagged by kerrynotkelly whom I was just able to find out information about from reading her blog. Here we go:

1. I'm a closet nerd. I love to read (when I have time) and listen to classical music.

2. In sixth grade I wrote a letter to the head of Burbank schools and had Styrofoam banned from Burbank schools.

3. I love my feet. I think they are cute.

4. I collect vintage 1940's electronics. I love my stand up radio the most! It's so beautiful especially with vases of dried flowers on it.

5. I love to sleep next to my seven year old daughter. I love watching her sleep and to see how innocent she really is.

6. My husband is four, yes four years younger than me but I heart him!

7. I plan on graduating High School Summer or Fall 2008. I'm a HR Manager and never graduated high school.

It's my turn to tag others now and I choose:

My Blog

Ok so I figured I could give this a try...Why not?

I have a hard time saying how I really feel so maybe in a blog where I don't care what others think will help. I figure this could be great to write about moi, family, and whatever. I hope it works and if it doesn't....Oh well. Really I can only try.

So to begin it's Thanksgiving eve....Here's a short gratitude list:

1. K...she helps to center me and calm me.
2. E...He puts up with moi. Enough said.
3. Leon...I'm grateful to have known him. What a wonderful man and I found out more about him today. You learn a lot about people once they pass. We should all try more to know the people in our lives fully while they're still here.

Until next time....Leon in his K and S's Great Grandpa Hat...

Rest in Peace Leon!
