I'm thankful for coffee.
I'm thankful for my husband. We started dating for 8 years ago in June and I still get flutters when I look at him. I hope that never goes away.
I'm thankful for my friends that I'll be with this weekend and for getting to celebrate
@GoldenPenguin getting married!!!!!
**********
H and I dropped all of our documents off with the CPA last night. He said he'll see what he can do but likely, it's because the tax brackets were reconfigured and we got bumped up to a new tax bracket due to H's raises last year. We'll know more next week.
Tonight I'm finally making ST shepherd's pie for dinner. I'll be gone all weekend and this way H will have leftovers while I'm away.
We finished The Jinx last night! So, so creepy.
Re: Thankful Thursday
@swazzle fingers crossed everything works out with your taxes, it would SUCK to owe money. I love shepherd's pie but I don't think I've made the ST version (or I did a long time ago).
I'm just thankful it's almost Friday and the weekend.
I'm thankful I have coffee too, I stayed up late last night.
Last night I had my WW meeting, I was only down .2 lb but I'll take it. Monday I'm going to start working out again and stick with it. I haven't been drinking a lot of water either so that's probably not helping. When I got home I was starving and I had leftovers for dinner then watched Empire.
Today I just have work, then I need to buy shoes for @goldenpenguin's bridal shower. I also have to clean the house in preparation of @swazzle and @hummingbird125 coming over. I'm making skillet lasagna tonight which I"m excited for.
Still here and still fabulous!
@cu97tiger - It's such a great feeling. We were sitting on the couch last night and I just looked over at him and melted a bit. I'm so glad you didn't break it!
@southernpeach89 - I'm so sorry to hear that about Cheyanne
Still here and still fabulous!
I am thankful for my FI and his wonderful family. I
them.
I am thankful that I didn't hit any traffic today since I had to drive to work.
And I'm thankful that I'm generally an organized person who is staying on top of thank you notes. Unlike my co-worker, who said it took her a YEAR to send thank yous after her wedding!
-----------------------------------
So I went and got my hair done last night...and I don't like it. I thought I asked to stay darker and wanted the highlights to look fairly natural. This does not look natural. There's way too much contrast, and it just doesn't feel right.
The girl could tell I wasn't feeling super happy about it and said they'll fix it if I'm not happy. I said I would sleep on it, and I think I'm going to call them and try to swing by tomorrow after work to get the highlights toned down. It just feels too bright
On the plus side, I got a couple RSVPs from friends at work yesterday, and my mom said a bunch came in the mail. I'm going over to my parents' tonight so I'll get to pick those up! And a couple of gifts arrived for us as well. Fun!

@Southernpeach89 - So sorry to hear about Cheyanne. Sending lots of T&P your family's way today.
@Imcooper86 - I actually like your hair! I completely agree through, if you are unhappy you should get it fixed. Nothing worse than feeling less than your best...especially when you pay so much to have it done.
_______________________________________________________________________
I am thankful my mom is coming to visit in about 1.5 weeks! I miss her so much and I can hardly wait to see her.
I am thankful to have such a supportive and loving husband. He has been a wonderful partner through all of our happy and sad times...and I cannot imagine sharing my life with anyone else.
I'm thankful to have had a healthy and fairly easy pregnancy. I feel truly blessed to get to be a mom.
I'm thankful for wonderful friendships. Some days I just need to talk, and it's so nice to have a great network of women who are always there to listen and support each other.
I'm thankful my boss sent me home early yesterday. I crashed and slept for a couple hours and feel a little better today.
I'm thankful that I made a ton of freezer meals for after surgery. They have been a lifesaver!!
I'm thankful we paid off our student loans and my deductible this week and that we are debt-free, except for the mortgage!
@Buddysmom80- congrats on the weight loss.
@cu97tiger - Hoe your ankle feels better!!
@southernpeach89 - Sorry for the news
@Hummingbird125 - Hope your FI's interview goes well!!
@Imcooper86 - Hope they get your hair fixed!

Hi Ladies!
Have any of you seen Potted Potter? I was thinking about getting tickets but not sure if it's geared toward a younger crowd or if it's worth it (reviews are a little mixed).
Today I'm thankful for H - he always tries to help out (even when he makes a mess of thing).
I'm hoping I'm going to be thankful for my flexible job if they let me go home a little early. I have enough hours in this week to leave an hour or two early - I just have so much stuff I need to get done I feel exhausted just thinking about it!
It's hard to feel thankful today because of Chey. But I did think of some things.
I'm thankful that my parents are able to tell that Chey is really ready to go and they aren't prolonging her suffering any more than they have to.
I'm thankful for Cheyanne. She has the weirdest personality quirks of any dog I've ever met. She had a great big golden grin, and she loved everyone so much. She gave all of herself constantly to anyone as long as you'd give a little love back to her.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
@lmcooper86 I actually really love your hair color. Give it a day or two to blend a bit and see what you think then. My highlights always seem crazy bright and obvious when I first get them. I agree if you still aren't happy though that the salon should fix it for you.
@cu97tiger I hope your ankle is feeling better today!
@CocoBellaF Congrats on paying off all your debt (I don't count our mortgage lol)
@Swazzle I'm keeping my fingers crossed your CPA can do some magic with your tax burden.
@labro sending you so many hugs too.
@southernpeach89 and @labro sorry about your family dog, I definitely know what that is like.
I am thankful I have such great customers. One who is a mechanic is going with me to look at a car tomorrow and hopefully it's the one! I just called him up and asked and he said he would be happy to help and I am very grateful
I am also thankful my coworkers haven't strangled me yet today because I got it in my head to just talk about ghosts all day and it's hilarious to me and fun for customers but at least one of my coworkers wants me to talk about something else already lol
And I am also thankful that BF and I can talk about engagement and marriage and joke about it without it being weird or pressure-y. We are slowly getting closer to an agreement on our timeline and it's just nice that we feel comfortable talking about it with each other.
@labro & @southernpeach89 - *big hugs* I'm so sorry to hear about your dog ladies.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I'm thankful that it's raining today! I love the rain so it puts me in a good mood.
I'm thankful it's slow at work today.
I'm thankful I'm getting a pretty good sized tax return this year!
I'm thankful that my moving date is less than a month away! I'm so excited for my new apartment and I'm thinking of using some of my tax return to splurge on some new furniture I've had my eye on once I move.
@CocoBellaF - Congrats on being debt free! That's fantastic! But please slow down and take care of yourself okay? Health before work!
@KeptInStitches - Oh man...FI tolerates my cat because he loves me, but HATES the shedding on the bed. I've never cared about letting him sleep on my bed, but when FI stays over Gambit decides that instead of curling up at the foot of the bed he should climb up and snuggle in between us. I think it's hilarious, but FI is counting down to us having our house and a bedroom door to keep the cat out at night (I have a studio apartment, so we can't keep him out).
@labro - Sending separate hugs to you, I'm sorry
@ everyone re: hair - I don't hate it, it just isn't what I was going for. It's frustrating because this is something that I would have done a year ago, or might do a few months after the wedding, but I don't think I want this much contrast right now. They said it would be really quick to tone the highlights down, that I could just call ahead and swing by without actually making an appointment. I can't go tonight anyways, so I'll see how I feel about it tomorrow.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
@Hummingbird125 - I'm sending your FI "good luck on the interview" vibes! Also, that is great news about your sisters! My sister stayed with a terrible guy for 10 years, and we were all so proud of her when she finally found the strength to kick him out.
@CocoBellaF - That is so awesome, being debt free!
@Dignity100 - I have not even heard of Potted Potter! Let me k if you go see it, and what it's like.
@southernpeach89 and @labro - I'm so so sorry to hear about the pup. Sending you guys lots of virtual hugs today.
@Swazzle - Did you finish season 3 of House of Cards yet? I really want to talk to someone about it! No one seems to be finishing it!
-----------------------------------------------------
I'm thankful that this final season of Glee is much better than the last two. I know only one person on here has mentioned they watch it (I think @cu97tiger maybe?), but they've toned down the "over the top", and I'm glad I can finally enjoy it again right before it finishes.
I'm thankful that there are still a few good songs popping up on the radio every once in a while. It seems to be becoming fewer and fewer that I actually enjoy, but Sia's Chandelier is pretty awesome to listen to.
Still here and still fabulous!
