Wednesday Smiles

1) One of my closest friends posted this Butter bean this morn. I'm still in awe that one of my girl's is growing a human...

2) I've decided not to complain about work anymore. I'm a firm believer in: If you can change it do, and if you can change it and don't then don't drive everyone insane with your incessant whining. I love that we have the "power" to pull ourselves out of miserable situations and I'll have to keep you posted on mine, but only the positive actions that I'm taking to alleviate the misery... ;-)

3) This FL weather will allow the neighborhood kids to wear their halloween costumes without big bulky coats to cover up the cuteness... I guess that's a + in the FL's not sooooo bad category.

4) I haven't been late to church or work this week. The church one is the one I'm most proud of (20 min early for Sunday school, 10 min early for Teacher's meeting and Evening service, and 5 min early for Sisters' Bible study last nite...). Whooo-hooo for me!

5)I've discovered these Nature's Own crunchy granola bars and I must say that they've been a fabulous new breakfast option.

6) I love Publix. Have you ever heard of smoked paprika??? Well, I hadn't, but Rachel Ray required it and Publix delivered!

7) Tonight we're steaming crab legs for dinner. Thanks a million Cindy and Lisa for my fryer/steamer (that my husband unpacked and thus threw the directions away telling me that I could just look them up on line, but ha-ha, I found the directions in a drawer last week so now I can actually figure out how to steam things...)!

8) Recorded this special about Beyoncé last night and as much as I loooovvveeee her and am somewhat envious of her "I can't believe you can have a body like that" body, I was so thankful to be me, in my house, on my couch, with my eye-rolling husband (he doesn't quite understand my B. fixation). God's given me the life he wants me to have and I'm enjoying it. I'm working on the body thing... kind of.....

9) Deep breaths are an amazing calming agent.

10) Thank you Lord that it's Wednesday!

Here's a GREAT BIG HUG!!! :) Those granola bars are delicious, try the Special K (strawberry) those are really good as well.

I third the Beyonce' fixation (Jai too). Nothing to be ashamed about. B is a humble, hard-working person, who doesn't do immature things which (for some reason) a lot of 25 yrs are the opposite. You have to respect her. Besides, Jai [Princess] is in lover with her and requires me to put in the Beyonce CD before and after school so she can swing her hair and shake her booty.
Back to the subject, enjoy the remainder of the!! P.S. i sure hope the beyonce special comes back on...i only caught the middle of the show. :)

Yay I made your blog!! Woo hoo!! I love when I do that. Even if its my uterus and teeny child. I LOVE those granola bars, I feel like I'm actually getting something when I eat one. I like the honey one the best. ;)
