Good things

If you’ve ever seen an episode of Martha Stewart Living (which sadly, I have), you know she likes to say “It’s a good thing.” Spurred on by Martha’s little saying and my Blog Friend Scott’s monthly lists of good things (which I can’t do because I’d never be able to remember what happened on what day), I offer you a list of “good things” from the weekend.

• sleeping in, even if it was only until 8:30 a.m. • triple chocolate chip muffins, amazing even if they are from a mix • lit candles in a clean house • clean sheets • New artwork for the living room, complete with a Nashville touch • singing “I Will Rise” in both services Sunday morning and loving every moment of it • Cheeseburgers • finding my slotted spoon 🙂 • Baja Burrito followed by Julie and Julia • A funny discussion of what would happen if I attempted to cook through Mastering the Art of French Cooking • Children’s musical at church with Tim as a mailman • homemade pot roast, mashed potatoes, green beans accompanied with good conversation • being told I looked “good” at church on Sunday morning and other sweet words from people • seeing a commercial for Obama shoes and laughing my head off at how we will try to make a buck on anything. Granted, I didn’t watch all of the commercial and the money may go to something worthwhile, but the shoes were just crazy. • a quiet night of relaxation on my couch • episodes of “I Didn’t Know I Was Pregnant” with commentary supplied by Mandy and Mindy • being able to wind down on Sunday night and mentally prepare for the week • a good laugh with my mom • great weather and cool nights, which also translate to lower electric bills

I’m hoping the good things continue today and all through the week. It’s time to get a lot of stuff done today. Let’s go!
