Thankful Thursday and on this day in history....

So, I'm linking up to Miss Buckle today and expressing my gratitude for some of the fantastic things in my life....

*fresh home grown tomatoes all sweet and delicious

*the opportunity to run my own business and take pictures of fun people

*a friend who likes to call and talk to me for hours at a time

*Amazon.com.... I love Amazon.com

*the amazing things one can learn every day from listening to others

*red, white and blue balloons

ignore the cheesy cns on them!!!! LOL.

And... on this day in history....

July 7th 2010... I lost my job, one I loved. But here we are a year later and all is well. I'm enjoying a new opportunity with new people and a promising future. I also backed into the neighbor's mini van on the same day, I should have known then it was going to be a bad day.

July 7th(ish) 2009.... we came home from a weekend trip to find our house flooded by a faulty water heater, 200 thousand gallons of water later and we were forced into a tiny apartment for six weeks while the house was restored to better than it's former glory... aaahhhh the awsomeness of homeowners insurance.

That's as far back as I can go.... you wanna know why??? because I didn't have a blog before March of 2009 therefore I probably didn't exist!  See, the benefits of a blog, it soooo helps out an old woman like me who can't remember what she did three years ago!!!

Leave a comment... tell me what you're thankful for and what you did on this day in history....thanks!

'Ello, 'Ello, 'Ello, what's all this then?????

I am soooo missing my computer and my comfy little home, it's only been a few days and I'm cracking under the pressure.... shhppeeewwwww... there I go. I find myself wondering when will I ever get my dedicated post to Rxbambi done? is she tapping her pill counting thing on the desk impatiently waiting for the little nugget I have in store for her. When will I get to take some superdy duperdy pics with my lovely new treasure and get them up here for all to admire (or not) I haven't even had time to get to grips with it yet. When can I relax and have my own things around me again, and when will I be able to just open the door and let the damn dogs run free without having to put a leash on them and worrying about them terrorizing a passerby or pooping somewhere inappropriate!!!! I am afraid to sip my regular glass of red in case I spill some on the rented furnitue! afraid the kids/dogs will tear the place up and i'll lose the biggest security deposit in living history!!!! why the heck do I need to be afraid? why should my misfortune turn me into a nervous wreck? we're ok and probably more than that..we r all together which is what counts, the best thing to come out of the situation is that we work well together under pressure..we're the dream team people ya hear me, a freakin dream team! maybe when we get back into our house we'll sell up and buy a boat...we could sail around the world. This little episode has made me realize something, I know we could easily win The Amazing Race...seriously...as long as there was a tv we'd be rockin and rollin'...oh and a way for me to blog...and clean toilets..and a hairdryer...and red wine...more red wine and some tequila...I think i'm going to apply right now!!! Look out world here we come! for those of you not familiar its a relality show where teams travel around the world following clues and racing to win a Mill Bucks. Stay tuned I'm off to brush up on my gen knowledge and geography with my encyclopedia Britannica!!!! Tally ho.

Update.....just got to a real computer to find that the end of this post was in fact the beginning of another draft... something got all screwed up when I was trying to use the not so smart phone to blog!!!!! gggrrrrr..... all fixed now though and this doesn't look like the incoherent mess it did a few minutes ago.
