Okay, so I stole this meme from Amber. I'm experiencing writers block right now. All I do is work, work out, garden, and sleep. Which results in nothing too interesting to write about.
Okay..so on to this meme!:
Outside my window …
It's sunny and "cool" - 63 degrees F. At 7 am. Since the past few weeks it's been in the upper 90's, I've already been desensitzed and am calling an 80 degree day a "nice, cooler day"
I am hearing …
Fox News rambling on in the background.
I am thinking …
About how much I miss my family. When I see pictures of my nephews, my heart melts. I miss my siblings, & my parents. End of story.
I am thankful …
For my husband who is my sanity; who brightens my day, leaves me love notes around the house, cooks me dinner when I don't get home from work until 8:30 pm, and who makes me laugh!
For my ever-present job security. A few months ago, I was fearful I would never get a job as a new-grad. Now, I get called-in almost every week to put in overtime. In addition to the security, I love my career. It gives me warm, fuzzy feelings in my stomach.
For our house with it's perfect location. It's lucious green grass in the back yard, and the radiant flowers I've spent hours working on!
I have a lot to be thankful for.
I am reading …
"My Perfect Wedding" - Sibel Hodge. It's a definite chic-lit book...but it makes me laugh. It's about a London woman who has moved cross-country with her husband-to-be to live in "live-off-the-lady" countryside of Turkey. In the process of her move...her wedding dress and all belongings get misplaced......
and...
"Stories from the other side of the Bed Pan" -- which is a book written by a nurse about hilarious encounters experienced in her career.
I am hoping and praying …
That everything works out for our trip home in June. I just want to get the vacation time with no hassle. And...We get to see as much family as possible!!
I am wearing …
An highlighter-pink underarmour tshirt and black running shorts. After this post, I'm strapping on my garmin & heading out for a run!
I am creating …
HaHaHa! Me?! Create? That's cute.
I don't have a creative bone in my body.
But I guess you could say I'm creating a flower garden. And creating starwberries, anaheim peppers, habenero peppers, tomatoes, red bell peppers, yellow squash, basil, & mint!
From the kitchen …
I am sitting at our island sipping coffe, and just finished a bowl of Quaker Oats with blackberries & bananas.
Around the house …
It is spotless. I cleaned from floor to ceiling. I even scurbbed the grout of our tiles. I also reorganized our drawers today. I literally can't sit still for more than 5 minutes. (I had the past 2 days off since I work the weekend....I don't do well with days off. I get seriously stir crazy)
Plans for the rest of the week …
Today I am going for a run, getting some errands taken care of, and then meeting my husband for a late afternoon/evening date @ a coffee shop.
(He's studying for this big miliatary test, and everything night lately consists of him coming home from work, and spending the evening buried in his books....we are really excited for this test to be behind him!!!)
Tomorrrow & Saturday I work from 7am - 8 pm..
Sunday we are going to mass, and then packing up our hiking gear and taking a trip up to the mountain for a day of hiking!
A Picture to share …

I totally get what you mean about going stir crazy - I've been off work for about three weeks now and though most of me is loving that I don't have to go to work, there is a part of me that just doesn't know what to do with all this spare time!!
Isn't it great living somewhere so near to gorgeous trails? Our new house is only 5 minutes from some gorgeous trails for hiking! I wish Eric didn't work 7 - 2 every Saturday and Sunday as it would be the perfect way to start off a weekend day!!! Oh well, maybe we'll have to get out there one afternoon :)
That said, I do know that I have a lot to be thankful for and should be less of a Debbie Downer!! I hope your visit works out, too!!
