Grateful November....3 more things

This week I am grateful for:
1) Evenings with Dave
2) A warm house that we love
3) Scrapbooking as a creative outlet

Here's wishing all of you have a wonderful holiday. Be sure to tell those you celebrate with how much you appreciate them! (And by all means: Take a picture!) ;)

2 Fun Weekends in a Row! So Grateful!

Last weekend we had a fun girl's getaway at Creating Keepsakes CKC in Bellevue!

we had a group of 6 gals and had fun attending classes, going out to dinner together, and SHOPPING!

(pictured above are Heidi & Shawna at our album crop)

Here is me and Heidi (the other Heidi) waiting for our PF Changs reservation.

This is everyone but me....
Linda, Heidi, Suzanne, Heidi and Shawna


The Scraplove babes...

This Heidi CRACKS ME UP! She is so cute, huh?

We even got Shawna laughing...and she had a cold. :(

Ask Heidi who bought the most.... ;)

We all took turns showing off our loot.

Heidi and Shawna did my hair and makeup before we met the guys for dinner and a movie.

(We saw 007: Quantum of Solace)

Dave didn't even recognize me with my hair like this...isn't it cute!?!

Pretty gals pose at Ruth Chris

The guys were being funny but this one is really cute.

Dave, Andrew, Aaron and Trent

And the money shot!

(excuse the red-eye...Note to self: must fix that before I print this to scrapbook)

And this weekend:

Another fun girls event. My friend Christi gathered every Twilight fan she knew and booked us a private showing of Twilight at midnight! What fun!

I really enjoyed it!

Cindy, Suzanne, Shawna & Heidi

The Larson clan: everyone but Kerry and Mark

Silly siblings :)

I love my sisters!

A fun night to remember!

And finally, if you've read this far, usually keep up on my blog, and can actually do math, you know that I am, again, 5 days behind on my Grateful November posts. So, here is a short list of 5 more things I have been grateful for lately:

1) a gym membership

2) Inspiring friends who I can be myself with and learn a lot from

3) Wonderful siblings, especially my sisters

4) Life itself. (The unexpected happens everyday...make today count!)

5) My cleaning routine

6) A good chiropractor! (Just so I'll be AHEAD a day!)

TTFN!

Grateful November Posts #7 & #8

Yesterday (Saturday) I was grateful for a Saturday of sleeping in with Dave. Even though it was a rainy day we had fun sleeping late, getting Wendys for an early lunch (11am) and going shopping at Southcenter Mall.
We were also grateful for the Romney's Hot Tub Yesterday...it felt so good after a rainy, cool, grey day.
Today (Sunday) I am grateful for lazy Sunday afternoons and Roast Beef dinners...especially when Dave made the Roast AND the Broccoli with cheese sauce. All I had do do were Mashed Potatos and Gravy. Yummy.
I am also grateful for dependable people.

Grateful November Posts #5 & 6

This posting everyday thing is tough. I end up just putting 2 days together a lot.
Yesterday I was grateful for SLEEPING IN! I didn't have to work until 2 and I got to sleep in, chat with Mom on the phone and scrapbook a little before heading to work.
Today, I am grateful for GIRLFRIENDS. DAve is in Portland overnight for a Blazers game and were it not for an impromptu girls night (that i hope we'll pull off) I'd be alone all evening. :(

Grateful November post #4

Ok, today I am greatful for:
1) No more political campaign ads
2) My right to vote (even though it doesn't seem to make much of a difference)
3) Facebook--if you haven't checked this out...it's pretty cool. Reconnecting with lost friends all over the country!
4) Bathroom breaks! (You don't want to know)
TTFN

Grateful November- Post #2 & 3

Ok, today at work I was down a whole pharmacy technician and we usually fill around 22o prescriptions on Monday...it's our busiest day of the week. So it was myself (pharmacist) and one technician. Mind you, this tech is awesome and efficient but it was still a totally CRAZY day! we ended up filling 320 scripts! One hundred more than usual!! 20 of which were flu shots! Wow!
So today....I am grateful for: Good Help at work! (Thanks Ali!)

Yesterday, I was grateful for a Husband who likes to cook and made me yummy homemade chicken noodle soup! Perfect for the rainy day it was here in Seattle! Thanks Dave! I love U babe!

Grateful November-Post #1

Ok, my idea for November is to list at least one thing I am grateful for per day. Now the idea here is to post something daily. We all know that might not happen. So I may post more than one day's worth at a time to make up for missed days posting. I will end up with at least 30 things by the end of the month and November is the perfect time to focus on gratitude.

November 1st I was grateful for Family.

Especially for the opportunity to see mine at Chloe's baptism. The rain held off until after her baptism so we got some cute family shots outside the chapel. Then we all went out to eat at Azteca. yum.

Here's a cute picture of Chloe's family...
