Praise the LORD with melodies on the lyre; make music for him on the ten-stringed harp. Sing a new song of praise to him; play skillfully on the harp, and sing with joy. Ps 33:2-3
My initial plan was to do a little bit of nothing today, but that plan was scrapped this morning when I logged on to my email and received a list of "to do's." So, I will begin tackling my list as soon as I post my blog (lest I receive an email from a certain New Yorker complaining about my lack of a blog post) ;)
Since it is the eve of Thanksgiving...I thought I would share my list of what I'm thankful for...The past few months have been a bit rough, but if I dwell on the negatives, I'll end up losing focus on all the positives...and will miss the meaning of Thanksgiving all together. That being said... I am thankful for:
The job I always complain about. It may be a bit mind numbing at times, but it's provided me with stability for 7 years.
The people in my life...who selflessly go out of their way to help me, cheer me up, make me laugh, and keep me on my toes.
My lovely niece and handsome nephews...They're growing up now...but the memory of holding them till they fell asleep when they were babies are most cherished.
Last but not least...i'm thankful to God for showing me that even in the bleakest of situations...He is in control...and with Him there is always hope!
Now...I have some pictures to share. I'm not completely finished with the apartment...but I figured I could post what I've done with the place so far for my cousin Sue...since her email doesn't seem to accept my pictures...
The entry way. I got the nifty little wall hanging for 14$. Can't beat that!
My kitchen. Note the incredibly cute teapot above the stove. It was a gift from BF's mom...It goes well with my "colorful cafe" theme
My countertop...note my mini Christmas tree?
My bare living room...and God send of a TV...courtesy Billy! Sheryl bought me a beautiful mirror to put my living room, but I need a stud finder and a stud to come help me hang it up. ;)
My steal-of-a-deal couch!
The dining table where I eat my meals alone! (one IS the loneliest number!)
I've always wanted these picture coasters. So, when Sunu A got them for me, I was so excited. But then came the hard part...determining what pictures to put in them. I decided to go with a retro theme. ;)
So there you have it, folks...My humble abode! Hope you all have a flabulous weekend! Eat and be merry!
