1. I'm quite sure they have hired a replacement--for my old position that is. I'm super duper excited. Need I say more?
2. Three day weekend. Three day weekend. Need I say more?
3. The beach this weekend. The beach this weekend. Need I say more?
4. Watched my sister's DVD of her China trip presentation at her church. What a great opportunity she had. I may have had a few tears hearing my nephew sing. So thankful I live in this country.
5. It's so nice to get in the pool in the evening after a long day at work.
6. Made plans for my parents to visit later in the fall. Only thing is I wish the trip were planned for longer.
7. Ten years ago today I moved to MI. While the distance was so far from family, and I didn't like that, I made several very dear friends there. They are the kind that you can always pick up wherever you left off and will be friends not for a time, or for a season, but for life!
8. Twenty something years ago today Jaimie Medlen, one of seven best nieces in the world and mother of Tripp, was born. Yes, her card is going in the mail today. Happy Birthday, Jaimie!!!

Monday Musings Except Now It's Tuesday
1. One year ago today I walked into my place of work for my first full day of work. It's been a good year. I am part of a great team.
2. It was really good to get this since at my last place of employment I found my position would be eliminated three days before my first work anniversary there.
3. Over the weekend I stopped at a Farm Bureau booth that had a prize wheel. The sign said "Everybody wins." My spin stopped on "Chance to win a cooler." I filled out the form, but then I commented that I really hadn't won anything. The guy said I won a chance to win a cooler, but I told him I wasn't walking away with anything so I really hadn't won anything. The lady behind the table was not a very nice person. She said "Well you won a chance at a really nice cooler, but go ahead and have a sucker." I'm pretty sure when I walked away my slip of paper went in the trash can and not in the drawing bucket.

Thankful Thursday 8/7/14
1. Good week at work. There is hope that my old position will be filled soon.
2. I've left work the last two days at a very reasonable time and felt good about my workload.
3. Ate tamales yesterday for the first time in over 20 years and only the second time in my life. I didn't get any spice in my eye like I did the first time.
4. I've enjoyed being home alone for a few days, but I'm glad Renae is back today.
5. I got almost everything done on my list while Renae was gone.

Thankful Thursday 7/31/14
It may be early, early Friday morning in Dallas but it's still Thursday in Alaska!
1. It's been a week of long days at work, but I'm so thankful I have the opportunity to do one plus jobs since one year ago today I didn't have a job.
2. It's been a fun week reliving memories of the trip posting pictures on fb and the family blog.
3. Facetime with Emma yesterday. She was eating hotdogs and 'matoes for lunch. She wasn't about to share her 'matoes with me.
4. Wednesday night we got in the spa to cool off after a walk around the neighborhood. All of a sudden we smelled skunk--very fresh skunk. You've never seen two middle-aged overweight women crawl out of the spa and get in the house faster!!! Thankful the smell stayed outside.
