on the 18th i was thankful target, walmart, pizza and sprite. these are the things we do on fridays to keep everyone happy. and they work, without fail, every friday!

on the 19th i was thankful for best buy. thank goodness for accidental coverage. mac is sick and in the apple hospital in louisville. get better mac!

on the 20th i was thankful for yummy food to eat all day while we were tasting for the wedding. so good. which makes the decision even harder :)

thankful: 17/happy birthday bestie!

(i know i use this pic for everything. i just love it so much!)

HAPPY BIRTHDAY JENNIFER!!!

today i'm celebrating my best friend in the whole world! she's seriously the best ever and i'm so thankful for her. want to know why? here are my top ten reasons i'm thankful for this beautiful friend of mine...

10. she's never judged me. ever.

9. she made me the maid of honor in her wedding and i'm returning the favor by making her my matron of honor.

8. she can't (or maybe just won't) decorate anything which allows me to step in and do it for her. not like i need another reason to decorate anything!

7. we can talk about things like poop, boogers, farts, periods, boobies and the such. TMI?

6. we LOVE to make fun of the same people/things.

5. she always knows what i'm thinking. i don't even have to say it out loud.

4. our love of stupid ABCfamily shows, friends, glee and ella enchanted.

3. she calls me for fashion advice. which makes me feel super cool. thanks j.

2. that little nugget she's cooking up. i'm gonna love that thing no matter what it is. boy. girl. cat. dog. ET. gremlin. no matter what.

1. she's seriously the kindest, most caring friend i've ever had. she's been through so much with me over the last 6 (or maybe 7?) years. always there with no agenda of her own. loving me no matter the cost.

i love you bestie!

today i'm thankful for my sewing machine.

and you should be too because you'll probably be getting a handmade item for christmas made by yours truly and my sewing machine!

thankful: days 11-13

so sorry i skipped out on three days guys.

lately i've been wondering where my brain is...oh well!

on friday i was so thankful to go home early from work. i had a million and one things to do plus going to the sorority house at 7:30, so it was nice to have a few extra hours to cram it all in!

saturday i was thankful for my dad. not only did he meet us in shelbyville to take pics and measurements of the wedding venue but he also helped us move a dinning room table into the car and load up our christmas decorations. thanks dad!

sunday i was thankful for forgiveness. i was soooo not a nice person to anyone that day and it's nice to know that even though i was terrible, they have forgiven me and still love me.

thankful: day 10

today i'm thankful that i made it through the day.

seriously, i'm ready for the weekend and to finally get some things done on my forever long list.

anyone else already hating day light savings?

i am. and i'm so over it being dark at 6pm.

wait a minute? wasn't this supposed to be a thankful post?!

thankful: day 9

today i'm thankful for this furry face...

i love coming home to my dalpal. best. dog. in. the. world.

thankful: day 8

today i'm thankful for the people i work for...holly and jermey. oh, and you could totally include olivia and lilly as my employers! this is such a sweet family and they've totally brought me in and treated me just like their own. i love those beautiful girls so much and my life is just plain better because of this family!

thankful: day 7

today i'm thankful for T's mom and dad (Mr. and Mrs Dr. Jacobs for the rest of ya!).

serioulsy, if they'd never had T then i'd never have him in my life, my soon to be husband, best fiance ever, my best friend for life, fav person ever.

you get it.

sorry i have no pic of them. but their real good lookin' people!

thankful: day 6

today i'm thankful for day light savings time. seriously that extra hour of sleep rocked my socks off.

and yes, i'm a little ashamed that i'm so old that extra sleep was way more important to me than an extra hour out downtown.

shame. shame.

thankful: day 5

today i'm thankful for medications and urgent care centers.

in other news...i hate sinus infections. and missing AOII Kentucky State Day. seriously, hate it.

thankful: day 4

today i'm thankful for T's chipper morning attitude.

honestly, i can't even believe i'm thankful for that but i totally am.

you see, when i get up in the morning i want to die. i never wake up feeling "well rested", "energized" and "ready for the day". who are all you people who get those feelings and how do you do it?

i hate mornings. more than i hate driving (which is A LOT) but less than i hate birds (which is the MOST). loathe might be a good word for our relationship. but a girls gotta provide for her family, right? dallas needs those dog bones and we need to pay the rent. so i deal with the mornings the best i can.

today however, i told T we could go the the gym at 5 for spinning class. that's 5 am people. 5 AM!

and of course when it was time to get up, i didn't want to. BUT someone insisted that i should and i would feel much better after the workout and wouldn't feel so rushed getting ready for work since i was already up.

and you know what? he was right.

i know, i can't believe i'm admitting that. because another thing i hate just as much as mornings? admitting that someone else was right and i was wrong.

so for today i'm thankful for T, for the morning, for the spin class and for having a much better day than i would've if i'd gotten that extra hour of sleep.

but don't think for a second that mornings and i are friends now. we're not.

thankful: day 3

today i'm thankful for celebrity gossip.

no, really. i'm being serious. because let's face it, every now and then i need to be reminded that my life really isn't that bad, it could be so much worse.

for instance...

i could be getting divorced.

or i could be having a baby mama scandal.

or going back to jail.

i guess it's not really nice to relish in other people's misery but in my defense, it can be so easy to get caught up in how much stuff, money and fame celebs have. it's nice to know that they're real people with real problems (even if they're way worse than my own!).

thankful: day 2

today i'm thankful for the sunrise. the ability to start fresh everyday. today didn't go so well? you can start again tomorrow with a better attitude and a different outlook on life. thank God for that!!
