Adding to my gratitude journal…

1. I really am thankful for this newsletter that my girlfriend in Cali introduced me to.  It is called “Crosswalk:Girlfriends in God“.  I signed up to receive it daily and sometimes the message hits home so much that it amazes me.  Things I used to worry about….I don’t anymore.
2. I’m definitely thankful to only be working for half of the day today.  I’m leaving the plantation at 11 so that I can start my weekend early.
3. I’ve been flipping through my Nordstrom’s Anniversary sale catalog for about a week now.  The sale starts today so I went online to check out every single little thing and I can honestly say that I didn’t see anything that struck that “must have” cord.  My sister in law and I might venture in tomorrow to window shop and people watch…..but I’ll be leaving my wallet in my purse on this one.
4. I’m going to finally set up the bedroom this weekend.  I don’t have any super grand plans for it, but by Monday there will be window treatments, hopefully a rug, fresh linens, art on the walls, and some organization.  I have a ton of baskets that I’ve used for storage that I’m not going to put INTO storage.  As I clean and organize I’m also going to consolidate.
5. By hook or crook I’m going to finish getting my “web presence” together for my business TODAY.  Yes that means frozen dinners tonight…….we’ll sacrifice a home cooked meal. 
6. My hair may not be clean right now but it’s sooooooooooooo healthy!
7. I don’t remember what happened right now (damn short term memory) but last night Hassan made me laugh so hard I cried. LOL
8. Plans for our 2009 family reunion are really coming along.  It will be the first one in over 10 years….wait…..over 15 years….at least.
9. And I finally have confirmations on all of the things for my 2008 Favorite Things list. YAY….be on the look out…..you know it’s time for us anal retentive, type A, planners to start thinking about holiday giving.  LOL
