Just got on here and realized it has been a year and half since I posted a blog! I have been feeling like I have lost my writing mojo....nothing to write about, nothing funny to say. But.....I'm BAAACCCKKK!!
Let's start this off with a Thankful Thursday post. Here are some things I am thankful for:
1. My health. Even though I have Crohn's I feel like I am relatively healthy. Have been reading lots of blogs about people with Crohn's and it could be so much worse! I am actually very lucky, and am thankful for that. Also, have been reading lots of blogs of people with Crohn's who run marathons!! I didn't know this was possible. Maybe I should start making Crohn's my bitch and run at least a 5K or something.....Or, maybe I should walk it.....Maybe eating chips and watching the Kardashians would be enough to make Crohn's my bitch?
2. I don't really watch the Kardashians and am thankful I do not have a bubble butt and an amazon for a sister.
3. I am thankful for a very productive yard sale during the Threshermans. In particular for the carload of Mexicans that came, bought several large trash bags full of clothes and then asked if they could dig up some of my surprise lilies and pay me for them. Here's a shovel!! Dig away!! Also, lets turn on the AC in the restaurant, this is not Mexico land, we do not like to sweat waiting for our burritos, the box fan is not cuttin it.
4. Every few years or so, the planets line up and the gates to heaven open and the angels sing Hallelujah. Yes, yes, this is the year my birthday is on Mardi Gras. I guess sometimes God thinks I deserve a parade, what can I say? I am Joe Ferrero's girlfriend you know!
5. One last thankful and speaking of the Man, the Myth, the Legend, I will be very thankful when we are living in the same town. This shit is for the birds. Although I am enjoying visiting Colorado. If I ever live there, I am wearing cowboy boots everyday. I think this will help me attract those cowboy butts that drive me nuts. Just for looking! Let's not start a small town rumor here.
Happy Thursday everyone!!

Things I am thankful for
Ten things I am thankful for.......serious list
1. My family. I am very lucky to say I had an awesome childhood. I never wanted for anything except for a Snoopy Snowcone....have been waiting 29 years....and have you met my brother? Totally kick ass....
2. My house. Cause its cute. And because I get to mow grass....I love mowing grass.
3. Bo Didley. I have wanted a horse since I was 5 when I started my "horse fund"
4. Friends. I have some of the best in the world
5. Having a job. Those are becoming hard to come by. And I have super duper bosses
6. Being healthy.....I am so much better than I was three or four years ago....I have my life back....and I can eat hot wings again!!!!
7. Heat....it hits home when your furnace breaks
8. Having a college education...glad I got it out of the way
9.My religious upbringing.
10. Living in a free country. Go USA!!!
Not so serious list:
1. I am thankful for the Hall's new jukebox. I know...who doesn't love Lynyrd Skynyrd and Creedence Clearwater......its ok...they are still in there....and now we can skip songs if someone decides to play the whole meatloaf album...twice
2. My town's trash pickup persons.....I can't tell you why.....anyone else have Panther Hauling and is picking up what I am putting down?
3. Thank God for the leaf pickup in my town. I don't know what I would do without it. I don't even have any trees but I am so happy to pay $3 every month to help someone who does. And have you seen how speedy they are?
4. The Redhead's stuffed green peppers. The Redhead's black eyed peas. The Redhead's chicken and dumplings. Lets just say my boyfriend can cook anyone under a table....and then some.
5. My garage....cause scrapping windows just plain sucks.
6. Finger nail clippers. I would have died of a hang nail by now if not for that invention.
7. Snail mail. You just cant beat it. Getting a letter in the mail is ten times better than an email...especially if your not expecting it.
8. Sharp pencils, new calculators, purple highlighters, and crisp legal pads. Cause I'm a nerd and I know it....oh and fresh general ledgers.
9. Bingo dabbers. So many colors...and only $1

25 Random Facts
1. I love office supplies. A new red pen makes my day. A crisp new general ledger pad is heaven. And don't even get me started about a freshly sharpened pencil.
2. I love small town living. I like hearing the Threshermans from my window. I like how everybody knows you and who your parents are. I like being close to horses and cows and chickens. The only bad thing about small towns is the fine tuned "small town rumor mill"....man that thing works good!
3. The fiddle is my favorite instrument. I bought one off ebay. I haven't learned it yet.
4. When I was a kid at Easter time my Granny would make a cake in the shape of a lamb and cover it in light blue icing and coconut. I always asked for the face.
5. I love horses. I started my "horse fund" at age 6 in an empty margarine bowl. At age 28 I took my margarine bowl and bought Bo Didley. Bo Didley has a lower lip that hangs lower that his upper lip. It appears that he is chewing tobacco.
6. At the age of 3 I had heart surgery to repair a hole in my heart caused from a birth defect. They used a piece of plastic the size of a quarter to patch the hole. Also, years later, during a checkup echocardiogram, the nurse said the doctor didn't put my heart back in the right place. Holy crap! Put it back where you found it!
7. I have had one of my best friends since birth. We have pictures together in a playpen. I am pretty sure we will be friends forever...unless she tries to steal my kool aid stand secrets.
8. My "city cousin" used to spend a week with me every summer. She brought at least 10 different stuffed animals and convinced me to be not so nice to my brother and his cabbage patch doll....Boy.
9. My favorite alcoholic drink is red bull and vodka. It makes me very happy.
10. My favorite non alcoholic drink is fresh iced tea
11. Every year I have a "Guns and Wine" party at my parents house. The girls drink wine and the boys shoot guns. It is very sophisticated....you can't hang.
12. I play BINGO at least once a month or so. I sit by my friend Louise. She is 94 claims she NEVER wins...she just donates. I also have BINGO bullies. Sometimes they cuss me out for talking too loud.
13. I am an accountant but what I really want to do is manage a horse stable...there is kinda a shortage of those around here
14. Around January I am loving tax season...around March I am ready for the Red Lobster tax day celebration
15. I can't wait for the Polish Parade. How much fun is that!
16. I have toenails that curl up. They are quit small and funny looking. Its genetic...thanks Dad
17. My Crohn's disease has been in remission for 2.5 years!!! Kudos to my doctors for finally getting my drug cocktail right. Lets drink a red bull and vodka to that!
18. I have met Dierks Bentley. He gave me two hugs and knew how to spell my name without instruction.
19. My friend Sarah and I went through high school and college together...chose the same major....went to grad school together and now work together....she is such a copycat
20. I love to mow grass....but absolutely hate to use the weed eater
21. If it was socially acceptable...I would dress like a cowboy everyday...and would demand the same from my boyfriend.
22. I love to read. I read the first three Twilight books in a week. While reading the fourth...I got depressed cause it was almost over....so I stretched that one to two weeks.
23. I am the shortest person in my family. My dad is 6'4" my brother 6'5" and my mom beat me by 1/4 inch at 5'9"
24. I have a hard time trusting God and try to do things myself...which sometimes makes a big mess....He has really been working with me on that one
25. I really believe everything happens for a reason and sometimes only God knows what that reason is.
