So, it has been a particularly grumpy week or two--just ask my family! Too much going on and not enough time, energy, patience, or parents. Oh well, it happens. However, when I woke up Saturday morning and read Jessica's Happy Blog, I thought to myself, maybe I, too, can be happy today. It turned out to be a really nice day. So, instead of a post of all life's irritations (I'll save that for FaceBook), Here is why it was a good weekend!
Got up with the sun...
Finished my rough draft...
Cleaned the house...
Knew where one dog was...
Fixed dinner (before it was dinnertime)...
Made my bed....
Read a great book....
Knew where the other dog was!Then I spent 24 hours alone with my husband, watched a movie with my kids, took a long hot shower in the steam room (no picture) and went outside and looked at the stars!

Sounds like a beautiful and relaxing weekend. Now go finish that paper!
I think I need a cabin to escape to!
At least know that you've inspired me to make my bed! (Dinner is marinating in the oven)
I meant the fridge. I marinate in the fridge. Cook in the oven.
This post reminds me of the lyrics to this song on the Cherie Call cd you gave me. Love it:)
I've been there and I've seen with those eyes
Green with envy, dark with anger
Or just plain blue
And I know the last thing you really want to hear
Is just what I'm about to tell you
But you have to hear the truth
I know it's stylish to be cynical these days
So there's only one thing left to do
Believe
Sometimes traffic lights are green,
Sometimes people keep their word
In spite of everything you've heard, it's true that
Sometimes nice guys finish first,
Sometimes true love really lasts
Sometimes all the world can change
If only you believe
Still you say the phone rings every time you want to take a bath
Or take a nap, or you just need peace
But tell me this, did you really want to be
So all alone as you are now?
Don't you need a friend who knows
It's in the way you see the glass
Once you know that it's half full, it overflows
Every time that you
Believe
Sometimes Christmases are white,
Sometimes wedding days are clear
Sometimes rain falls right on time
To wash away your tears
Sometimes cornfields touch the sky,
Sometimes sunsets make you cry
Sometimes you see what Jesus sees
When you look in the mirror
And love isn't something that is just for everyone else
It's for you
Believe what I say is true
In spite of all the ways you feel right now
You've got to find out some way somehow to
Believe
Sometimes the good live long,
Sometimes kindness reaches far
Sometimes you hear your favorite song
Right when you get in the car
You don't have to move the sky
But you can chase the clouds away
You don't have to change the world,
But you might do it anyway
Believe
Believe sometimes nice guys finish first
You don't have to change the world,
But you might do it anyway
Sounds like a great day! Not only did you DO all those things, you took pictures AND blogged it! Way to go! Good luck on finishing that paper...the finish line is in sight!
Love the lyrics Jessica, I will have to find the music. I will try to keep believing in "green lights" today. :-)
Are you a cooker?Love your cook and I will do it like yours.
