Happy Thursday, STalkers! This has been a crazy work week for me and I'm happy to be winding down to the weekend.

I am thankful for:

Welcome to Thursday! This has been.... an interesting week. Why does it seem that when you resolve one issue, multiple issues pop up? It's like trying to cut the head of off a freakin' hydra. Plaaaaaaaah...

Since I've been having a not-so-great week, I'm digging deep. I am thankful for:

It’s official! After 3 years, 10 months, and 1 day, DH is employed!!! The background check finally was completed and he got the email from HR with his official April 29th start date!

Thanks so much for all of your support over the last few years and everyone’s positive notes and thoughts. 

Who else is ready for the weekend? Work has been crazy the past few weeks and this week is no exception. If anything, it's the craziest week yet. 1.5 more days...

I am thankful for:

Happy Thursday, STalkers! I've been having a hectic week for pretty much the entire month. Ish. Hope yours is going well!

I am thankful for:

• The usual: a good job, a reliable car, and a solid roof over my head.
   
• My sister, who made Mom's spaghetti sauce and gave us half. It's always a little bittersweet making/eating one of Mom's special recipes.
   
• Actually getting back some money from the IRS. Woo hoo!!!
   
• My DH. Lord, I love that hardworking, frequently tired, curmudgeony, sexy man. <3

Anyone else stressed out? It's days (weeks) like this when I need to remind myself of the things for which I am thankful...

• Aside from chronic insomnia, a sketchy back, and a fat arse, I'm in pretty good health.
   
• Despite the arseholes and brown nosers, I have a good job.
   
• My DH, my Dad, and my sister: aka my rock, my hero, and my best friend.
   
• STalk - especially the friends I've made. <3

Whose enjoying VD? Yes, I DO mean Valentine's Day. First of all, I disagree that VD is strictly for lovers. Not everyone has a significant other. Some people call this Singles Awareness Day (one of my nephews). Others call it Singles Appreciation Day (my sister). Regardless, there is no need to feel left out. Are your parents still around? Let them know you love them. Spend some quality time with your furbabies. Hang out with a friend. Enjoy the day!

We're closing in on the weekend, STalkers. Happy Friday Eve!

We all have our struggles. I've been going through a rough time for the past several months, but have managed (most days) to stick out my chin and push forward instead of crawling under a rock (kinda cold under that rock right now...). Some of my friends have been been darn near overwhelmed by life-altering shocks. Times like this make it an excellent opportunity for me to remember the things for which I am thankful.

I am thankful for:

Welcome to Thursday, STalkers! I hope everyone had a safe and tolerable holiday

Things for which I am thankful:

Happy Thursday, STalkers! I don't know about you, but I'm seriously looking forward to the end of the work day tomorrow. This has been a suck week. And that means I need to remind myself of the things for which I'm thankful. Aside from being ever-grateful for a reliable vehicle, a safe & sturdy home, and a good job, I am thankful for:
