3 THINGS FOR TUESDAY!!
Today, I'm grateful for:
1. Hot coffee - I added s/f almond syrup - I LOVE almond flavoring!!! Reminds me of Vaccaro's pignoli cookies - minus the guilt!!!!
2. That I got the sweetest text this a.m.!!! Keep your flowers, your jewelry (okay, well maybe not the jewelry) - nothing puts a stupid grin on my face like seeing a text that says, "Hello beautiful! Just wanted to let you know I was thinking of you. Have a wonderful day!" Sigh.
3. That Candy and Jerry are off on their MUCH, MUCH, MUCH deserved Vegas jaunt! I hope they have a blast. Ang is leaving for NC this week, Boxer's away for work, and the Mo's are NASCAR-ing it in NC. I'm so glad everyone's having a blast and decompressing.
4. Darla got a new toy. *tapping foot, waiting impatiently for pics*
5. That I got TONS of cooking done yesterday - chili, roast chicken, chicken fried quinoa, garlic shrimp, crab quiche and pumpkin ricotta!! I was pooped at the end of the day, yet felt like I really accomplished something. And feeling my brother's hug of gratitude was the BEST payment!
6. Candles - I had a frosted pumpkin lit in the living room and an applejack lit in the kitchen! Heaven with a flame!
Hope everyone has a fantastic day!
Hugs,
Tia
You hit a few of my favorite things in your post......candles, cooking, and sweet texts! My hubby is back to driving a rig over the road....he is in Mass. now & I got a sweet text early, and boy do I mean EARLY this morning. He always adds the song "Good morning beautiful" to the texts he sends in the AM......I know, corny, but I love it!
Umm....could you send me your crab quiche recipe??? Perrrttty Pleasssse.
Today I am grateful for:
1} the nice fall weather! This is my favorite season.....except for when it snows 2 feet deep!
2} that the housing market is looking better....I am going to look at a Victorian today! Built in 1905, 3 BR, 2 full bath.....I am excited!
3} that nothing holds kids down too long.....my oldest has been having boyfriend issues, and she has been really down in the dumps but I think she is coming back around. Geez, teen love is soooo vicious!
I hope everyone has a great day!

Hojo!!!
Awwww....that is so sweet of your hubby to send you that, song!!! I love it!!! My texts are coming from a new, amazing man I met several weeks ago. We've agreed to take our time and see how things progress, but we've also agreed that neither of us is interested in anyone else - I'm giddy!! LOL!!!
I'll cross my fingers that the house Gods smile on you today!!!
I'll send you the crab quiche recipe in just a few!
Glad to see you!
Hugs,
Tia
Good Morning all
Glad you had a good day off yesterday T: sigh I need a morning text like you got!
Today I am grateful for :
1. My new toy : will post decent pictures when I get them.
2. My friends
3. My family ( Cuddles included of course)
4. My faith in God: I went to church Sunday for the first time in a month;
One of the hymns was " Tis Good Lord to be here" and I really felt the words
speaking to me.
Have a great day everyone.
So happy you got my text message this a.m. :P:P .. The kitties and I have been up since about 5:25 this morning. We baked a coffee cake for Mr Mo's breakie, now he just needs to get his happy butt out of bed so we can eat and get this show on the road today. Yesterday we pretty much chilled in the rain. We had plans to do a little race shop sightseeing (as if we haven't seen them all already), but by the time we were FINALLY ready to go, it was noon and we got sucked into watching the two part NCIS spin-off from JAG, so it was 2 o'clock. Then we just had time to run to Wally World to pick up a few things I needed, like a bottle of wine to take to the pot luck, and a foil pan to make the buffalo chicken dip in. Had a great time at the pot luck .. the food was good, though most of it was not for me .. lol .. I had some beans and a meatball, and some 'boiled' shrimp (not quite what I am used to .. but still good), and of course a healthy portion of my buffalo chicken dip. There was a ton of dip left over, so I'll have plenty to be nibbling on all week. Met a really interesting couple at the pot luck .. they are in the same section of the campground that we are so hopefully we will get a chance to spend some more time with them before week's end.
The furry kids are behaving and having fun. Our next door neighbors here have the same kind of furry kids, I am sure at some point there is going to be some bonding from window to window!!! the way we are parked, the windows are virtually right next to each other. Charlotte is in the bedroom right now convincing Mr Mo it's time to get up!!!
Let's see .. to be thankful ...
1) .. the major stuff that was going on at work last week was resolved by 4 p.m. on Friday afternoon so even though I KNEW I was going on vacation no matter what .. I could go without any 'guilty' feelings. I am still checking my work email twice a day to be sure nothing bizzare pops up, but I am enjoying my trip and chillin'
2) The furry kids .. and the unconditional love .. and amusement they give us
3) .. Vacation time .. vacation time .. vacation time .. I was actually going to make this be 1 2 & 3 .. but ... you got the point!!
Think I will stake claim to the shower this morning before he gets up, so I'm ready to go when he gets out of bed !!
Hugs, Mo
Comparison is the thief of joy!
If we spend our time comparing our life/weight loss/body to others, we totally miss what WE have accomplished. Keep in mind how far you have come and what you can do now that you couldn't do weeks/months/years ago. I hate the expression " It's all good", but in this case it fits! Wherever you are in your journey ... It's ALL good!!!
Morning Moie!!
I'm so glad you're having a nice time!! I know work's been hectic for you for a good portion of this year, so you definitely need the down time!!! I can just picture the kids at the window checking out the neighbor kids!!! Glad they're behaving though!
Have a wonderful day!!! It's getting chilly up here - I think fall will officially have made its appearance by the time you get back!

I went shoe shopping at Concord Mills on Sunday when I went for my mani/pedi .. so I'll be ready for fall and showing off the new shoes when I get back on Tuesday. It will be time to pull out the long skirts and boots and my toes won't see daylight again (except through peeptoe shoes****il spring!!!
Hugs, Mo
P.S. One pair of shoes is a purple snakeskin look !!! Might need to find something purple to go with .. but in the mean time .. black skirt will do.
