Thankful Thursday :)

I've noticed that quite a few of my posts have been on the more negative side lately. I plan to change that right now.

Here is my very first "Thankful Thursday" post :)

1. My Job:
   So I know I did a post just yesterday to complain about how bored I was. In all reality I am so very thankful that I even have a job to complain about. It seems like every single night, there is a new story on the news about all of those without jobs, those with college degrees who have jobs that someone in high school could do and those that are losing their home because they can't find a job to support their family and their bills. I am blessed enough to have a job, that pays well, and that I most of the time enjoy!
2. Blogger & Pinterest
   I am so excited to have finally got into the swing of things with blogger. I made my blog in February and just recently have actually set my mind to posting multiple times a week, and sometimes multiple times a day, still sorry about that one! It's so refreshing to be able to talk about whatever I have on my mind with little to no opposition. And Pinterest, I was looking at other blogs and noticed a growing trend. I quickly jumped on the trend wagon and found myself checking my email every few hours to see if I had received my invite yet. There is just something about this "secret pinterest society" that you have to be invited to. I finally got my invite this morning and I am super excited to start pinning - post devoted entirely to pinterest in the near future
3. Having Fridays Off

   I am so happy to have Friday's off. While I would much rather have a few more days off a week, there is nothing like a 3 day weekend, every week! I always wake up on Thursdays with a smile on my face because this is my Friday. I know that in 8 short hours it will be my weekend! Whether I choose to have a pajama day and catch up on my daytime shows, or run errands/clean having Fridays off is wonderful. Tomorrow's day off will consist of running errands. I want to get my hair dyed back dark brown and trimmed, plus Carrie and I are going to check out Curves, the all women's gym!
4. My wonderful brother Daniel

   I am always thankful for him, but especially on this Thursday. He turns 21 on Saturday, a milestone he has been waiting ever so patiently for. I've tried warning him it doesn't really feel any different and evenutally the newness of being able to purchase alcohol will wear off. We fought like cats and dogs growing up and have recently became great friends. I know if I ever need anything he is there and the same if he ever needs anything. I can't wait to spend his birthday with him, although I may call him early Sunday morning, just to show that sisterly love :)
5. My Best Friend

   My bff is my mom. I am so very blessed to have such an amazing role model and woman to call my best friend. When I was growing up we butted heads like it was our job. We rarely got along and I thought she was as dumb as a box of rocks. However, now that I have grown up, came into my own as an adult, and live 100 miles away, I have learned that I was completely wrong. She is there when I need her most. I seriously talk to her at least once a day if not more. She always knows what to say to calm me down, or to cheer me up. I value every minute I get to spend with her and look forward to every get together we plan. She has become even more special to me over the past year. Losing you best friend is a hard thing to handle. It always helps having one, your momma, to come to the rescue.
