Thankfulness

Well, last year at this exact time there is a 99.999% chance I was at work. I worked a call center that by contractual obligations has the phones open 24 hours a day and 365 days a year. Also the newer employees worked the holidays because of seniority. This job does provide all of the federal holidays but the phones are open on Christmas, Thanksgiving, and even Memorial Day. There were many Sundays and Holidays when I was working that I missed my wife, my in laws, and our friends. This last job was GREAT while I was going to college because it was by the college and there was schedule flexibility. I am thankful on many Sundays and all of the Holidays that I am not working and that I am able to spend time relaxing with my wife and friends. Anyway, I am thankful that God helped my wife and me through the journey of college and working full time.

Lunchtime

Last week my wife and I went to a tea house for lunch. We had spent the day garage sale-ing and stopped by the tea house so my wife could get some vanilla tea. I was pleasantly surprised and had some nice hot tea and a roast beef sandwich. It was served with mesquite BBQ potato chips, some red grapes, a few cheese cubes, a cucumber slice, and a few grape tomatoes on some lettuce. There was also a rasberry scone with lemon curd before the entree arrived. It was a relaxing and pleasant lunch with my wife.

Seven Things About Me Meme

Here are the rules: Each player starts with seven random facts or habits above themselves. People who are tagged need to write on their own blog about their seven things, as well as these rules. You need to choose seven people to get tagged and list their names. Don’t forget to leave them a comment telling them they have been tagged and to read your blog.

My seven things:

1) Sometimes I enjoy washing dishes by hand.

2) I tend to buy cookbooks for one or two recipes. I enjoy the internet for finding recipes now.

3) The first time I make a recipe I prefer to make the recipe exactly as listed.

4) I think a “good” CD should be listened to in its entirety so it can be appreciated as a
complete work.

5)Blues music speaks to my soul but I do not know why it does.

6)I have a habit of wearing my shoes until it is time for bed. My wife does not like this habit.

7)I feel uneasy if I have to drive a different route to work.

Bonus item: I have a bad habit of reading blogs and not commenting.

I thought “meme” was pronounced me-me not meem. I do not know 7 bloggers to tag. The rules do not address this situation.
