Random thing that I am thankful for ...


I was listening to The Catholic Guy on my radio this afternoon and nearly made a call when he did his little segment on what random thing are you thankful for. It was a little over a month ago that I made my very first call into Gus Lloyd's radio show, but I wasn't sure I could be witty enough for LINO.

Today was hot and keeping hydrated is so, SO important when you live in the humid South. Today we got to 97 and it was just so sticky. Yesterday I picked myself up a new water bottle. This water bottle is THE BEST ...
  • It fits neatly in my car's cup holder
  • It doesn't have a plastic or weird taste
  • There is no valve that I have to pull up (I don't like that)
  • I pop a little button and the cap opens and stays that way for me to POUR the water into my mouth.
  • It keeps my water ICE COLD ... yes, it actually does what it says. I kept it in my car that I KNOW went over the 100 degree mark. It also sat in the steamy SUN at the pool.

I am notorious for buying those big multi--packs of water and grabbing one for the car. The problem during this time of the year is that a cold water bottle can turn HOT in a matter of an hour. I can drink room temp water, but HOT water ... ick!

So for my $21.99 purchase at TARGET I will hopefully ...
  • not waste my $$$$ on water bottles that get thrown out
  • do a good thing for the environment by not creating WASTE
  • get to drink COLD water ... the thirst quenching kind ;)
TODAY on this very HOT (almost) SUMMER DAY, I am thankful to GOD for the people at the THERMOS company who created this oh so wonderful water (hydration) bottle (thermos). I got to drink COLD WATER and feel moments of happiness even when feeling icky and sweaty.

I think I may just get the hubby one for FATHER's DAY ;)

What a cute little thermos! You are so lucky that the weather has been warm there. It has been raining for 2 weeks straight here. I have enjoyed seeing your dog's pictures on FB - he is so cute!

And I love your new header!

XOXO

Ooooo, thanks for the recommendation. One big summer bummer for me is the glass of ice water I bring in the car everytime I leave the house doesn't stay cold for very long. I'll have to look for that one!

Yes, we have many things to be thankful for...big and small!

Momto5minnies meets the Pioneer Woman!

I read her blog and knew that she was coming into town for her book signing and I thought about going, but I also knew it was the day that I was getting my braces off (MONDAY 11/9). On Sunday night before, my husband made a quick trip to Walmart and brought home a flyer saying how Ree Drummond (The Pioneer Woman) was coming the next day. I'm not sure if my husband was more excited about me getting my braces off the next day or having me MEET THE PIONEER WOMAN. I guess I really did want to go, but now I HAD TO GO! Monday was a crazy day ... jitters in the am 4.6 mile run to make me feel relaxed (it was also my longest run yet) drop the 12 year old at her homeschool art class quick trip to Walmart (to see if there were Pioneer Woman cookbooks ... no luck, but my husband picked me up a few ... I'm gifting some for Christmas). home to throw a pot roast in the crockpot braces removal at 11:30am dentist visit at 1pm usual afterschool chaos of swim team home for a 30 minute rest wa...

A scattered post ...

I throw myself into stuff all the time.  It can be anything from the start of a swim season, a new school year, the election, a vacation, an exercise routine etc.  I'm kind of in a phase where I really don't know what my focus should be.  I turned on the television and honestly, I have no idea what is on this fall season ... NO IDEA AT ALL .  If I watched television in the past few months, it was something kid related or Fox News. I NEED A NEW FOCUS. My current thoughts  ... reading a fictional, just for fun book stepping up my exercise routine thinking about our Christmas wish lists and shopping baking more ... I really am slacking in this area ways to save money so that we can get a new (second) washer and dryer for the upstairs (not a fancy kind because this would mostly be used by my oldest two children)... I actually have hookups. I wonder if a lot of people go through a sort of "lull" period this time of the year.  Surely it doesn't last long with the start ...

Not a lot has changed ...

As a puppy he always liked a warm spot. We call Comet our "close talker" (from Seinfeld) because he is in your face and always a little too close for our comfort level. The girls don't seem to mind, but it can be a little annoying for my husband and I. Really, he is a fabulous dog. He listens well and is so gentle with everyone. *We don't let Comet on furniture ... except for the playroom/schoolroom couch. There he enjoys relaxing and being read to by one of the girls. SPOILED POOCH!
