Late again

Okay, I'm an awful, awful blogger. I'm late for Gratitude Tuesday again, and I've not responded to anybody's comments on the last couple of posts. The truth is, I haven't even looked at the computer for a couple of days, and when I was last on it I just glanced at my myspace and facebook profiles for a minute. I have no good excuse other than just being worn out with life and work, but I'm going to try to do better. So here's my better late than never Gratitude Tuesday - D Edition:

Daughters - sorry guys, mine is the best one out there.

Dandelions - I've always loved these sunny little flowers.

Disney - yes, I get pretty tired of hearing about Hannah Montana, but overall they have some pretty solid kids programming, and my little one has absorbed some pretty admirable after school lessons.

Discipline - as totally lacking as it's been in my life lately, it's still very important to me.

Dads - Nick is a great one, and I am beyond blessed to have the one I do.

Dogs - I love dogs, especially the one we have now.

Dictionaries - I've always found it a little bit magical to look up a new word in the dictionary, and who of us hasn't secretly looked up spanko words?

Digital cameras - we were really terrible about taking pictures before we got our first digital camera. Or, I should say, we were awful about getting them developed. We were happy to actually take the pictures. That is, assuming we had film. And batteries. But with a digital camera we never have to worry about wasting a shot or developing images we don't want, and I love taking pictures.

Date Night - how awesome is date night?!?! We don't get enough of them, but we sure do cherish them when they come along!

Okay, I'm sure there are plenty of other wonderful D words, but that's all I've got right now. In other news - only 5 days till Hawaii!

Mobile blogging again...

Hey guys. How have you all been? I know I've been scarce on here, just not much to blog about I guess. Valentine's Day was nice. Nick bought me some beautiful flowers, along with a cute card, some Ferrero Rocher, and some butterfly ear rings. Morgan picked out a pink heart wrist watch for me at Wal-mart.

Only 9 days left till we leave for Hawaii - I need to start packing! Anyway, that's about it these days. Hope you guys are having a great winter!

Gratitude Tuesday - B

Hey guys, Tuesday's almost over - bet you thought I forgot, didn't you? Nope! I've got lots to be grateful for!



Babies - I love babies, always have. Mine of course was the most beautiful ever, although I'm sure Eva begs to differ. I would love to have another one someday, but if it never happens, I've been incredibly blessed to have the one God gave me!



Blogs - how else would I have met all you great people?!



Bruises - but not just any bruises of course, only those lovingly worn on my bottom!



Belts - yummy, just yummy!



Bed - I love our bed. It's king size with a feather bed on top of it, and with two mattresses, it's just the right height for all kinds of good stuff!



Blow jobs - I love to take care of Nick in this very special way, and I've been told I'm quite talented!



Bend over - are there any words in the world quite so shiver-inducing?



Books - I loooooooove books.



Bible - I firmly believe it is the Word of God, and I am grateful for it's comfort and guidance every day.



Bond - James, Bond. Just how hot was Sean Connery, right?



Brothers - I have two, and they both men the world to me.



Blankets - Nick tells me I have way too many, but I love to be snuggly and warm!



Brownies - Mmmmmm!

Happy Gratitude Tuesday!

Not much happening...

Hmm, not much going on here, just felt like posting. We're getting awfully close to Hawaii, just 3 more weeks of work! Plus I have President's Day off, so only 14 more actual work days! Yay! We're doing our income taxes this week, and we should get enough back to have money to go on as well as pay off a few bills and set Morgan up for the week. She's staying with my parents, but other family members are going to take her out for some fun stuff in the evenings to give my mom a break. We're going to do a Build A Bear gift card, an adopt a baby doll day, a Dollar Tree shopping spree ($20 goes a long way at the dollar store when you're seven), and maybe a few other things. This will be the longest she's ever been away from us, and I want to keep her distracted. Plus, since we'll be having such a great time, it seems only fair to give her a big week too.

Everything has been booked, just about all that's left is getting our tax return and packing. I do need to go to the book store. It will be a long plane ride, and I'll definitely need something to read. I'm actually pretty nervous - we've never taken a trip this far, and I'm afraid I'm going to miss Morgan terribly!

Anyway, that's about all that's going on here, just getting through the rest of winter and on to warmer days. Hope everything is going well for you guys!

Gratitude Tuesday Wednesday

As many of you I'm sure have seen, my friend Grace has started back up the lovely tradition of Gratitude Tuesday. As always, I'm a day late and a dollar short, but I had a wonderful time with this when I did it before, so I'm glad to join in again. Before I get started, a quick funny story:

A couple of days ago at work a very indignant elderly gentleman called in about an overdraft fee on his account. The situation was entirely his fault, but he was very upset, and I could see that he was on a fixed income, so I decided to waive the fee for him. But I couldn't resist giving him a bit of a gentle lecture on what had caused the fee and how this was a one time courtesy. At the end of the call, I asked him if there was anything else I could do for him. "Maybe a good spanking," he answered. I could tell that it wasn't at all meant sexually, more along the lines of "I guess I need a good swift kick in the pants for screwing this up." But it tickled me, and it made me think, we offer a lot of services, but that isn't one of them! Although...perhaps it would get people to balance their checkbooks!

Anyway, I'm grateful for:

Andes Thin Mints - I just love these little chocolate treats!

AngelBrat's Blog - having the chance to write this blog has given me such an outlet, and it's led me to meet some really wonderful people!

Answers - for me, knowing is almost always better.

Always - knowing that Nick is mine always!

Apple pie a la mode - yum!

The AngelBrat Paddle - this wonderful implement is perfect for almost any spanking.

Age - Every year of my life since I turned 19 has just gotten better!

Aleve - almost always does the trick.

Autumn - hands down, my favorite time of year.

Aloe plants - my mom had one when I was little, and it was always a big deal to break off a piece to soothe a cut or a burn. Nick's stepmom recently gave us one, and Morgan finds it just as fascinating.

Arnica - nothing better for healing bruises in a hurry, although usually I prefer to hang on to them!

Happy Gratitude Tuesday!
