It's my anniversary!

Today Nathan and I celebrate 3 years of married bliss and we are still doing strong! Thanks everyone for your nice messages!

Need a good breakfast for the day after Thanksgiving?

The Recipe Girl just posted a recipe for Amish Pumpkin Cinnamon Rolls with Caramel Icing.

Um, yum.

It's me, Roxie!

Hello blog readers!!! It's me, Roxie! Mom is finally letting me post something. Perhaps she felt guilty that so many requested more about me in this post or she is just to lazy to come up with a post that isn't related to work stress/and or cheese. Either way...I am taking over!

Speaking of mom, she had a few dogs come to visit me this weekend. Even though a lot of them were little guys, I still had a blast. The only one that wasn't little, was this really cute guy....he kept crawling onto my back for some reason. I am not really sure what he was doing, but I kept telling him I already have a boyfriend, because I am pretty sure whatever he was trying to do, my man wouldn't like. Mom didn't do much to stop the whole thing though....she always says that mixed breed is her favorite. Thanks Mom, way to make me feel like a bastard child.

I was so exhausted from all the hanging out with friends, I pretty much spent all of Sunday like this....

And even though I love to get my picture taken, Sunday I just wanted to freaking sleep. I kept turning away, and it only took Dad about 30 seconds to take the hint. It took Mom about 5 minutes and 4 failed pictures before she just gave up. Not to mention the fact that the crappy cell phone camera doesn't do my cuteness much justice.

Well, so long for now. But before I leave you here are some great pics of me!

The PERFECT work day

I guess that is kind of an oxymoron, but I seriously had a nearly perfect work day today. No, I didn't get a raise or even a nice email from a boss telling me I was a great employee.

Today I sat at my desk and did nearly 8 hours of mindless data entry breaking only to check email, GR, and help Boss #1 pick out a GORGEOUS gift for his girlfriend. And it was FABULOUS. After doing so much running around last week, it was so great just plug away at some applications that needed to be updated before the end of the month.

I can only hope that my short day tomorrow will be so sweet, and my long day Wednesday will go smooth as well.

Oh thank god

I spent about an hour yesterday reading the nearly 120 blogs on GR. Some of them I speed read, none of them I commented on (bad Teresa!) but it was drastic measure time....GR was totally out of control.

Other random stuff....

*Work was SO stressful last week. I can't believe I made it through without having a huge breakdown. If I can just get through this big event today I should be able to coast through Tuesday and Wednesday. Thank God for Thanksgiving.

*Nathan put up our new Christmas tree yesterday. We didn't put any ornaments on it yet, but Nathan just couldn't wait to put together the tree. I didn't point it out to him, but he seriously the most giddy I had ever seen him. It was too freaking cute.

*Nathan's parents called him last night to talk about my Christmas gift. Usually they buy Nathan one big gift and a couple smaller ones and a couple medium sized gifts for me. However, apparently this year they are switching things up and giving me the big gift. If I had to guess I would say it is a digital camera. And OMG I would love that. Before blogging I probably wouldn't have cared as much, but I really want to start adding more pics to my blog and my cell phone camera totally doesn't cut it.

I hope everyone has a great Monday! Hopefully for everyone it is a short work week!

Yay, I am a Kreativ Blogger!

Many thanks to Jenn from Living Life for my Kretiv Blogger award! I have never received a blog award, and I feel very blessed to receive this one. Thanks, Jenn, you are awesome and I am not worthy!

According to the rules, I am supposed to put 6 things I am thankful for and 6 blogs that are stalkworthy.

The awesome stuff I am thankful for:
(Please excuse the incomplete sentences, I didn't want to start all 6 out with "I'm thankful for blah, blah, blah.)

1. My family. Not just my husband, but my parents, sisters, and of course, Roxie. I am so lucky to have an incredibly supportive family that would seriously do anything for me.
2. My friends, especially the new ones that I have met via the Internet. I am reminded almost daily what an amazing group of women I have in my life. When I am down, they do everything they possibly can to bring me back up. I know that some of them are just using me for my cooking...but that's ok.
3. My job. That is a REALLY difficult thing to say this week, because I am officially having the worst week since I started with the company. But I am very thankful for having a steady paycheck, a great boss, and dedicated team members that bend over backwards for me daily.
4. The gym. As silly as it sounds, the gym has helped me through some stressful shit lately.
5. Talent. I don't want to sound full of myself, but I am so thankful for my talents because they tend to bring a smile to other's faces.
6. My space heater. If I had it in my office now I wouldn't be so damn cold. But, I am thankful it will keep me warm tonight at home.

The 6 blogs that are stalk worthy:

1. conversations with myself I love this blog. I am pretty sure Kritta and I have the exact same sense of humor. If not, she probably makes fun of me for saying lame stuff on her blog.
2. I paid less than you That a blog that updates frequently, but for those of you that love deals (especially from Target) you need to read this blog.
3. Little Homestead in the City One of my two new favorite sustainability blogs. If you are at all interested in the subject, run, don't walk to this blog.
4. Tiny Farm Blog The second favorite. Again, run, don't walk.
5. Smallnotebook.org I have posted about Rachel's blog before. She really does some amazing stuff with budgets in a realistic way.
6. Write in my Journal I can't even describe the amazing stuff in this blog.

Just to show you how behind I am.....

I have 111 blogs to read on Google Reader. Seriously, 111 and I don't even subscribe to blogs that make more than one or two posts a day.

I am very behind, but I am going to try and do my kreativ blogger awards today or tomrorrow.
