Little Moments

So, last week Craig and I went out to dinner, and on the way out to the truck, he was talking and stopped mid-sentence.  I looked over at him and he had this look on his face like he had just got a whiff of something terrible or he was about to sneeze.  Realizing he was about to sneeze, I did the "normal" thing I've always done growing up and yelled "THINK ABOUT PIGGIES!"

He waited a few moments, and it magically went away.  I then said "Ah-ha!  My little trick worked."

He quickly retorted and said "Nu-uh, I was already thinking about purple elephants!"

There are some days..

.. when I just happen to feel really grateful for everything I have, and who I have to share it with it.

These are a few of my favorite things..

• Raindrops on roses
• Whiskers on kittens.. :)  

ok, seriously..

• When my parents and siblings call "just because"..
• When I don't have to stop at lights
• When my nephews and niece run to greet and hug me
• When my best friends remind me they haven't seen me in a while and want to remedy
• Shoestring catches from left field
• Olive Garden
• When my gas bill goes down in the summer
• When I find flowers, cards, etc to remind me that no matter what, he loves me :)
• Guacamole (obsessed lately)
• Volcano & crunchy sushi rolls! (I'm afraid that this is more than an obsession)
• NC State anything
• When Jovi puts her head on my shoulder when I'm driving down the road
• Crab wontons
• Bojangle's 4 pc supreme dinner when I haven't had it in a really long time
• A perfectly cooked/seasoned steak (usually by Craig)
• When I'm reminded that my life suddenly turned around when I let go and let my faith decide what was best for me
• Bojangle's 4 pc supreme dinner when I just had it the day before (I refuse to discriminate)
• Rudino's hot caesar chicken wings with their seasoned fries
• Sweet Tea

(can you tell I got hungry at the end?)


Sometimes, I just think it's important to remember all that you do have, instead of dwelling on everything you don't.  And right now, I feel that I pretty much have it all. :)

Dear Chad Kroeger,

How you got a record deal is beyond me.  Although you have a song that I absolutely adore ("Faraway"), I can't really tolerate any other song that you sing lately.  Specifically "This Afternoon."  Every time this song comes on, I have this uncontrollable urge to clear my throat.  For the love of all that is holy, please try singing instead of stringing words together as if you were also mimicking Fat Albert.  I think you can sing, but I don't think you are.  Try it.




Whew.  Now I feel better.  Until it undoubtedly comes on XM again.
