Yeah, I know, I know. I am almost a week late. Sometimes life gets in the way. I'm trying not to be too hard on myself for not following through, but I am the type of person who become disappointed in herself when she falls behind, even if it's a non-work project (if you know what I mean--this is a self-imposed self-improvement project, you could say). Oh, well. Here I am! At least I am not a FULL week late. ;)
1. I am grateful to have less negativity in my life, even if it means putting distance between myself and a friend (or, in this case, a relative).
2. I am grateful to have seen Pokey LaFarge and Jack White a week ago. I had never heard of Pokey LaFarge, but they reminded me of The Soggy Bottom Boys and were a lot of fun to hear play. I think my mama would like them, too. (Possible Christmas present?) It was a great show, and I love Jack though I do miss The White Stripes. I just wish Zach and I could hold up for that long. (Concerts without seats are rough these days.) I still feel that Cain's Ballroom is a fantastic venue, especially since they just added a BBQ restaurant!!
3. I am grateful my hair is growing back in. And for new haircuts. :)
4. I am grateful my husband made it home safely from his conference and that he got his scooter back this week.
5. I am grateful for our kitties because they make good company when I am home alone.
6. I am grateful The Walking Dead has started back--and that I got into it over the summer so Zach and I can watch it together and discuss it with all of our friends.
7. I am grateful for my sweet students. It is fun to watch them grow and improve, and we are having a blast with this unit (even if I didn't want to teach this week--I wasn't feeling too hot).
8. I am grateful that my Phoenix class is finished. (It has made me feel like it is Christmas break, which is another reason why it has been difficult to work this week. *lol*)
9. I am grateful for new recipes. I could cook all day!
10. I am excited for my dear friend Monica's baby shower this weekend! And so grateful I can go (because I almost lost the chance)!

Be Grateful #8

1) I'm thankful it's cooler in these parts (NWA). It got down into the 30s over the weekend!
2) I'm thankful for visits with family, even when it gets a bit stressful and chaotic.
3) I'm thankful that this week will allow for some baking, some knitting, some Jack White, some time with friends before my husband goes to a conference for a few days next week.
4) I can't life--I'm thankful we are at the midpoint of the semester!
5) I'm thankful for friends at work who keep me laughing.
6) I'm thankful my husband is a neat freak because it keeps me organized and clean. ;)
7) I'm thankful to live in such a beautiful area with so many opportunities.
8) I'm thankful that I don't live in Panem.
9) I'm thankful to begin my favorite unit in composition week--analysis (of advertisements)!
10) I'm thankful this is my last week of Phoenix. I'll get my Thursday nights back to snuggle with my husby and catch up on TV (and knitting).
11) I'm thankful for Stephen's cocoa with bunny mallows. Nighty-night. :)
