Treat

Last week, we got a new front door. It was an exciting day because we've really needed a new front door for a long time. Our house is over 100 years old and sometimes it felt like our door was as old as the house. It really is a neat door, but it let in a lot of air and the insulation was horrible. We've already felt a huge difference in how warm our house is so hooray for that! 

One of the best parts of our old door was that we had a mail slot. Griffin loved poking his hand through it and watching things happen outside. It also was a race to the slot everyday when we would hear our mail carrier drop the mail through. Griffin liked to go and pick up the mail and I liked to see what was waiting for me. Nine out of ten times, it's always boring stuff like bills or advertisements. It was so much worse during political season-- for months, we would get anywhere from 8-12 mailers PER DAY. It seemed like such a waste of paper to me, but I called them Griffin's mail and he would play with them. Free toys, thank you very much.

We have a really cute new mailbox to go along with our door, but I've already been missing that telltale clank of the slot that alerted me that our mail was being delivered each day (even though it scared the heck out of me most days and usually made me think someone was breaking into our house). Checking the mail always is like looking for a little surprise. The art of sending mail isn't as common as it once was, but I love getting a little happy in the mail whether it's a note, thank you card, catalog, or letter. 

Treat is Shutterfly's new greeting card brand that makes it easy for people to create and send unique greeting cards. Who wouldn't love getting a beautiful card in the mail for any occasion? Treat cards are perfect for holidays, birthdays, congrats, thank yous and every occasion in between. It's so easy to make your own card for someone you love!

Today and tomorrow (November 19 and 20), you can create and send a Treat greeting card for free! Whether it's a thank you note for Thanksgiving or sharing holiday cheer with a "just because" card, Treat will let you create a one-of-a-kind card.

After you make your card, just enter the code TREATBLOGR to get it for free. I'm excited to send my card! Who knows, it could be coming to your mailbox soon! 

Happy Thanksgiving, friends! 

Although I was compensated for this post, the opinions are 100% my own. 

It all started with a tube of toothpaste

Before I was a mom, even before I got pregnant, I had an exhaustive list of things that I said I would never, ever do as a mother. I should share that list sometime just so we can all have a good laugh. One of those things was that I would NEVER give my baby the POISON that was formula. That's supposed to be sarcastic, if you can't tell. We all know how that turned out.

What I'm saying is that I was a self-righteous fool and I've learned to never say never. God will usually snap those opportunities up and use them to humble me something fierce. And those humbling seasons, although helpful and refining, aren't the most fun.

In case you're wondering, what I'm about to share with you is not one of those humbling seasons, but rather a humbling moment. I am going to stop rambling and get to the point.

Before I was pregnant, during my pregnancy, and even after Griffin was born, I was adamant that I would never allow him to wear any clothing with characters. I'm talking Winnie the Pooh, Disney animals, Mickey, etc. I don't know why I got this in my head, but I did and I was sticking to my guns, dang it. It was a pride issue. I have lots of those, apparently.

One day, the time came for me to buy Griffin a toothbrush and toothpaste. I bought the baby kind at Target that came with a tiny toothbrush and small tube of toothpaste that had Elmo on the front. It sits in a little basket on Griffin's dresser.

Shortly after buying the teeth accessories, Griffin decided that he hated having his diaper changed. In order to avoid having a WWE sized wrestling match during every change, I would ask him, "Do you want to hold Elmo?" which was my peace offering of his toothbrush and toothpaste. It always pacified him long enough to do a quick change that didn't end with me sweating like a man.

One day, he randomly started crying for EMMO, EMMO. It took me awhile to realize that he was crying for the furry red monster on his toothpaste. It took me awhile to figure it out because he had never seen anything with Elmo on TV. I wish my child was crying because he wanted his teeth to be clean all the time, but he was just crying for Elmo, not his actual toothpaste. I could've had a future dentist on my hands!

Toothpaste Elmo became an obsession. He wanted his toothpaste (and toothbrush) ALL THE TIME. We would be in stores and he would find every tiny thing with Elmo on it and cry for it until I let him hold it. Once, he carried a box of frozen waffles with Elmo's picture on it around Kroger because he would scream when I took it away. That box of waffles came home with us.

I stuck to my guns and although he still loved Elmo, I wouldn't buy him any clothes with Elmo. Then one day, I pulled down some hand-me-downs from a friend's little boy. Lo and behold, there was a pair of Elmo pajamas in the bin. I showed them to G and he actually squealed. He hugged and kissed them-- jammies! It was so sweet.

Then I realized something. I was letting my pride get in the way of something that brought my child joy. It wasn't something that would hurt him or affect him negatively. He loves Elmo and Elmo is a pretty sweet little monster. I felt pretty ashamed when I realized what I'd been doing. I washed those jammies and he wore them that night. When we put the shirt on him, his face just lit up and he rubbed his belly saying, "Emmo! Emmo!"

Since then, we've added some more Elmo things to our collection of toys. We've rented some Elmo DVD's from the library and they've given this momma a few minutes of peace. I've gotten over my Elmo road block for the most part. He outgrew the jammies a few weeks ago, but we've been able to get by with our books and toothpaste since then.

That is, until yesterday. We were at the store and he started yelling for EMMO, EMMO. I saw what he was looking at and I couldn't resist...

Never say never, my friends. Unless it comes to Sponge Bob. Then I can actually say never. I despise that disrespectful little sponge.

And yes... that is the toothpaste and toothbrush that started it all. God bless dental hygiene and Elmo.

 

The Proof is in the Pin

One of my favorite friends, Sarah, has been hosting a blog linkup called "The Proof is in the Pin". Basically, it's a way to be accountable for trying your pins! This is something I really need. I love me some Pinterest and always have every intention of doing my pins, but life gets in the way. I have three pins today that I completed and SURPRISE OF ALL SUPRISES, they are food pins. Try to pick your jaw up off the floor.

Pin #1-- Feta Dip

This dip is insanely good. It couldn't be easier to throw together before a party and it's always a crowd pleaser. I made it several times last winter for different parties, but forgot about it until a few days ago. We were visiting my family this weekend, and I made it for a football gathering on Saturday night and a mini-Thanksgiving meal on Sunday night. It was a huge hit both nights! I think we're going to grill some Greek marinated chicken breasts and serve this on top of them for supper soon-- kind of a Greek bruschetta chicken. The only thing I do differently is I don't crumble the entire block of feta into the dip-- only about 3/4 of the block. Yum!

Pin #2-- Buffalo Chicken Meatball Sandwiches

image via

These sandwiches are from my very favorite food blog. I really like Crist and Tina as people and dang, can they cook and bake. When I'm meal planning, I usually check their blog archives first. This recipe was no exception. These meatballs are easy and perfect! I used mild buffalo sauce and left the sauce out of the meatball mixture so Griffin could have some before I tossed them in the hot sauce. He liked them a lot! We ate them on a bake yourself Kroger multigrain baguette (per Tina's instructions) and we couldn't get enough of them. I usually hate leftovers, but I devoured these the next day. Make the blue cheese dressing yourself-- it's easy and delicious. I served these with sweet potato fries. Well done, ladies!

Pin #3-- Oven Baked Hardboiled Eggs

image via

I make these exactly how she suggests and I don't think I'll ever boil eggs on my stove again (unless I'm in a pinch). Sure, baking them takes a little longer, but I've found it's much more foolproof. I've never had an egg crack in my oven and I do this a lot. Watch, I'll have one break today. We really love hardboiled eggs here as snacks, in egg salad, on our green salads, etc., so this is an easy way to have a bunch on hand at once! Eggs are a great source of protein and I usually will eat one in some form before I go exercise!

Thanks for the fun linkup, Sarah! Happy Tuesday, friends!

 

Veteran's Day

It's no surprise to anyone that we just finished an election where emotions ran high. I watched social media over the last few months and was both encouraged and astonished to see both facts and rumors swirl as people defended their candidate. It was disheartening to see people lose friendships over their political differences. It was a highly charged time in our country.

I, for one, am glad that it's over. Even though there are still plenty of angry people, I think there are a lot of proud people, too. I'm one of them, even though the candidate I prefer didn't win. I'm proud to live in a country where we can vote on a President every four years. I'm especially proud to live in a country where men and women have fought to defend my freedom over hundreds of years. Two of my best friends have had loved ones serve overseas in Afghanistan and Iraq, and I was able to see firsthand some of the sacrifices these brave men and women make for our country.

Tomorrow, Sunday, November 11, is Veteran's Day. Shutterfly is running a great campaign on Facebook to send a card to the troops to thank them. When you click here, you can choose from one of four great cards to send to one of our soldiers. It literally took me two minutes and I'm thankful I could do something small and simple to thank one of them.

If you can, take a few minutes today to say thank you. I promise that it will be worth your time! If you have a family member in the service, please know how grateful my family is to your soldier and your family. We do not take them or their great service for granted!

Chicken Pot Pie & Warm Cinnamon Apples

Well, it shouldn't be much of a surprise that I fell off the 31 Days bandwagon. I did try, but we are in an interesting season of life right now that doesn't always leave a lot of room for a blog post at the end of the day. Since this blog is for me and my family, I don't want to feel pressure to post everyday if I can't make it happen. But I really do love blogging and am glad that I was able to complete some of the 31 days because it made me remember how much I do enjoy chronicling our day to day life.

We've also been throwing around the possibility of taking my blog private, which would mean that you would have to sign in with your email address to read. Again, I blog for our family and it makes me feel a little unsettled that anyone with Internet access can read and see pictures of our life. Nothing happened to make me feel this way, but it's something we've been throwing around.

Now, onto the real reason for this post-- food! Was there ever any doubt? On Monday, I made one of our very favorite winter meals-- chicken pot pie and warm cinnamon apples. This meal is comfort food at it's finest! The winter I was pregnant, my friend Emily gave me this recipe for pot pie and it's been a staple in our winter menus ever since. It's so easy and we usually eat the leftovers in a day or so. I hope you enjoy it as much as we do!

Chicken Pot Pie

serves 6-8

12 oz bag frozen mixed veggies

1/3 cup butter

1/3 cup flour

1/3 cup chopped onion

1/2 tsp. salt

1/4 tsp. pepper

14 oz. can chicken broth

2/3 cup milk

3 cups cooked and shredded chicken (I always use a rotisserie chicken for flavor)

2 pie crusts

Preheat oven to 425 degrees.

Melt the butter in a large saucepan on medium high heat and saute onion for 2-3 minutes. Stir in flour, salt, and pepper until bubbly. That will happen quickly. Whisk in the milk, then the broth until smooth. Bring to a boil and let it boil untouched for 1 minute. Stir in the cooked chicken and veggies. 

Put one crust on the bottom of your pie plate. Pour filling into the pie plate and put second crust on top. Cut to vent. Cover edges with foil so the crust won't burn. Bake for 35 minutes or until the crust is golden.

**I have never actually made this pot pie in a standard glass pie plate. This makes a lot of filling, so before I made it for the first time, I went to Target and bought a deep dish pie plate. This pie plate has straight sides, so it's deeper than your average pie plate. I'm pretty sure that mine is the same one in the link and I've gotten my money's worth! I would recommend it for this pot pie. If you don't have one, then I would suggest using a 9x9 square glass baking dish before using a regular pie plate. 

Warm Cinnamon Apples 

via My Recipes

serves 6

4 McIntosh apples (I used Gala because that's what I had-- they were great)

1/4 cup firmly packed brown sugar

1 tsp ground cinnamon

1/4 tsp ground nutmeg

2 tbsp water

1 tbsp butter 

Toss together first four ingredients in a Ziploc bag. Toss to coat the apples well.

Cook apple mixture, water, and butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Cover, but stir occasionally for 8-10 minutes or until the apples are soft.

Bon appetit, friends! 

You Better Watch Out!

The giveaway is now closed. Congratulations to Karen Bosch, my third grade teacher!! It's weird for me type her first name; I think I will stick to Ms. Bosch! ;) One of my very favorite elementary school memories is Friday afternoons in third grade when Ms. Bosch would play her guitar and our class would sing songs together. She's a great teacher and I'm thankful for her influence in my life! Congratulations on winning! Shutterfly will be contacting you with your code. :)

Christmas is, hands down, my favorite time of year. I know there are a lot of people who share that opinion with me! There's something about the weather, the food, the family and friends, and just the ambiance of the season that makes me so nostalgic and happy. I think Christmas will just keep getting better and better as Griffin gets older. I'm so excited to be able to start experiencing it through the eyes of a child! This will be our second Christmas with him; hopefully he likes Santa a little better this year...

2011 was not a great year for Griffin and Santa. Hopefully 2012 will be better, although somehow I doubt it. And yes, that Santa on the left is pretty creepy. We won't be going back there this year.

I have loved sending out Christmas cards over the past few years. We didn't send any the first year we were married, but we have every year since. I was so excited to have Griffin on our card last year! He was the star of the show.

In my mind, it's never too early to start thinking about your Christmas card and Shutterfly has some amazing photo Christmas card options this year! I've used Shutterfly for our Christmas cards before, as well as using them for some other photo projects, and I've never been disappointed! They have so many different options and their prices are always so reasonable. They've gotten my products shipped quickly and are always running some sort of special offer! Here are a few cards that I've got my eye on this year.

I can't wait to pick out our card this year! I love saving our cards from years past, framing them, and displaying them during the Christmas season. I know I'll find something I love this year thanks to Shutterfly!

What's even better is that Shutterfly is offering one of my blog readers a $50 credit off your total order this season (does not include shipping & cannot be combined with any other promos)! All you have to do is leave a comment with your email address on this blog post by 12:00 PM Eastern Standard Time on Wednesday, October 24 to enter! That's it! Best of luck friends and Merry Christmas!

**I was compensated with a discount code from Shutterfly for this post, but the opinions were 100% mine. I have always been more than impressed with Shutterfly's product quality and customer service.

 

A Day of Silence

My blog will be silent today in honor of a great man, Matt Turner.

Matt's funeral is today. Please pray for his precious wife, Julee, and his beautiful baby, Preslee.

Julee is a strong woman of God with a deep faith. Never have I seen God so glorified in one person. I know God will continue to use her in mighty ways.

Please pray for the Turner and Bell families today and in the coming weeks and months.

For the Lord will not cast off forever, but, though he cause grief, he will have compassion according to the abundance of his steadfast love.

Lamentations 3:31-32

 

31 Days of Haney Life :: Day 9

If you're unfamiliar with my 31 Days topic, please take a moment and visit this post.

Today is October 9, 2012 and Griffin is 19 months old.

As I've been writing out our days, I'm realizing that they probably sound very boring to most people. But to me, they're anything but boring. Some days are long, especially days where Tyler is out of town, but I wouldn't change this season of my life for anything.

This morning, Griffin and I headed out for our stroller exercise class at a local park. When I signed up for this, I seriously thought it would be pretty easy. NOT THE CASE. I almost died the first time we did it, but I really enjoy it now. It's an hour of intense cardio, weights, and stretching and we are moving the entire time. The babies just come along in the strollers and when we do stairs and things that won't allow you to bring your stroller, the instructor stays with them. When we do our mat work at the end, they all get out of the strollers and play together. I always look forward to it! I was pretty proud of myself today because after I loaded Griffin in the car, I went to walk around to my side and stepped in a hole in the grass. I rolled my ankle pretty badly; it still hurts a lot. I sat there for awhile and Tyler came out to help me walk around and I decided to go anyway. I was a little late and had to modify a few things, but I was so glad I went. I felt like a beast! But I'm not. After class, Griffin and I played at the park for awhile. We have some really gorgeous parks here! I love this first picture of Griffin on the swings! He is such a funny little boy; he cracks me up every single day!

He was showing me his sweet Baby Legs leg warmers in this last picture. They were perfect on a really cold morning! After class, we were both a little chilled, so we ended up meeting Tyler for a lunch date at Panera. It was a fun little mid-day pick-me-up. This was the best picture I could get and it's pretty accurate of picture taking with Griffin these days. Haha!

Griffin took a great nap today. He's been doing well at naps lately, which naturally means that since I've now blogged about it, he will go back to taking horrible naps. Maybe we've turned a 19 month corner? I love this picture below. We had a man come out and measure for a new front door today and Griffin just wanted to be one of the guys. He stood there and just watched and listened for as long as the door man was discussing it with Tyler. Such a little buddy man!

Tyler is downtown tonight watching the Reds game and I'm about to finish up some chores that I slacked on today in favor of a relaxing nap time. I'm enjoying documenting our days so much. It's definitely getting me back into the blogging groove.

However, tomorrow I will be silencing my blog with many others in remembrance of Matt Turner. Please pray for Julee as she attends the funeral of the love of her life tomorrow.

31 Days of Haney Life :: Day 8

If you're unfamiliar with my 31 Days topic, please take a moment and visit this post.

Today is October 8, 2012 and Griffin is 19 months old.

We had a normal, uneventful day. Griffin was in a great mood until about 5:00 pm. Maybe the witching hour is back? The highlight of our day was a long walk to the libarary and the grocery store. I had a book on hold that needed to be picked up and I needed a can of pumpkin for some bread I'm making this week. I'm thankful to live in an area where we can easily walk to places like these! Griffin and I love to go on walks together. I love everything about this picture-- the little hand grasping the snack trap, his buddy, Mickey, the striped pants, everything!

When we were leaving Kroger, we passed an elderly couple taking a walk together. They were each bundled up tight and holding hands. They gave us the sweetest hello as we passed with the biggest smiles and it made my heart so happy. I hope that's me and Tyler someday. I just loved that they were out for a walk together and still holding hands. You can barely see them in this picture that I took. Yes, I'm creepy.

When we got back from our walk, we spent some time playing with bubbles. Griffin loves bubbles but only if he's allowed to blow them. And by that, I mean play with the wand and act like he can actually blow bubbles. I love this video of him and how he tries to do it!

We ended the day with a pot roast from the crock pot. Again, it was just a normal day, but my heart did feel heavy from the moment I woke up. I just cannot get Julee and Preslee off my mind. Please, please continue to pray for them as you feel led. This blogging community is a tight one and I know so many of us are praying for them. Jennifer, Julee's best friend, tweeted this info earlier in case you would like to help the Turners. Any donations can be sent to Preslee Turner College Fund at Summit Bank, Box 965, Arkadelphia, AK 71923.

Have a lovely week, friends.

31 Days of Haney :: Days 5, 6, and 7

If you're unfamiliar with my 31 Days topic, please take a moment and visit this post.

It was October 5, 6, and 7, 2012 and Griffin is now 19 months old (as of October 6).

Well, here we are a few days in and I'm already behind. I'm not going to let it get me down because this is just a little family blog and I'm blogging for me. I'm getting back on the horse after a great weekend!

On Friday, we had a play date at a local park with a former teacher friend and her little girl. With two very active toddlers, this was the best picture I could get.

I enjoy Ashley's company so much and Griffin and Alyssa play very well together! It's so important to have friends who are in the same life stage as you. I'm looking forward to lots more years of friendship.

Griffin played in the driveway that afternoon while I cleaned out my car. When Daddy came home, he let Griffin "drive the car". This child thought he was BIG STUFF. I think we've discovered a new activity on really fussy days. On Friday night, I was able to go to a movie with a few of my girlfriends. We saw Won't Back Down and I would highly recommend it. It was a great story and there is a part with Viola Davis and her movie son that made me weep for a good ten minutes. If you see it, you'll know what I mean. I am looking forward to watching it again with Tyler when it comes out on DVD!

We woke up and headed out on Saturday morning. We headed to good old Marion, Indiana for our college's homecoming and a mini-reunion with some of my college girlfriends! I had the best time! It was so fun being back on campus and seeing some of my girls. My years at college were so wonderful and I always feel so nostalgic when we're on our way back to Marion.

Of course, the first thing we did was hit up Mi Pueblo for the best arroz con pollo in the WORLD. We would go there in college and eat ourselves sick on this stuff. There would be a huge group of us and we'd all order the same thing! We all said we haven't been able to find any Mexican restaurants that come close to Mi Pueblo since we graduated. I was in heaven with my food, friends, and baby. After we ate, we went to the soccer game. It was pretty cold, but still nice to be out there. We were able to meet up with my brother-in-law, future sister-in-law and Tyler's cousin! I loved seeing all of them.

I love this picture of me and my Stephy. She's my person

After the soccer game, Griffin and Tyler headed home. I was able to stay overnight with my girls and they had a little "guys night". Before they left, we took a few pictures in front of the dorm where we met. It's hard to believe I met Tyler almost 10 years ago! We've been together for 7.5, which is crazy. I'm so thankful for my time in Indiana for so many reasons, but mostly because it gave me my man

Us girls spent some more time on campus and I saw one of my sweet girls from the school where I taught. Before we left, Kristi and I took a great picture in front of the greatest freshman girls dorm of all time. It was there that we had a lot of fun and a lot of embarrassing moments. I love Shatford House and I'm a total dweeb with that thumbs up. At least I embrace it! But seriously, every girl in my wedding lived in Shatford except for my cousin. That should tell you something!

We headed down to Indy and had a great night together! We were able to meet up with our friend, Eric, and we had so much fun together! It also reminded me that I am kind of an old woman now, but it's still fun to pretend to be young every once in awhile. Ha! Check out our photo bombers in the pictures below. Seriously, people? We were annoyed about the girl photo bombers, but the guy in the last picture was a friend of Eric's, so it was cool.

When I woke up this morning, Tyler had sent me this picture of Griffin and typed, "Good Morning, Mommy!" It makes me laugh every time I look at it! He looks so pitiful, but in reality, he had the best time with Daddy! They are two peas in a pod. When I was driving home, Tyler told me that they had gone to Lowe's and then McDonald's. I got prematurely upset about McDonald's (stupid) until T told me that he'd gone through a drive-thru, parked, and that they had shared hot cakes, scrambled eggs, and sausage in the back seat. That absolutely MELTED MY HEART. I am beyond thankful for a wonderful husband who is an equally wonderful father.

It was great to get home to my boys. I'm looking forward to a fresh new week. On one last note, we were doing FaceTime with my dad this afternoon, and I took this screenshot. Every time Griffin talks to one of my parents on FaceTime, he always does three things: asks for whoever he's NOT talking to (if he's talking to Papa, he asks for Mimi, and vice versa), asks for the dog they babysat for a few weeks, and then asks for his beloved ball. They have this huge green ball in the garage that he loves to play with. Today, my dad indulged him and took the phone out into the garage to show him his BAHHHHHH. What a good Papa!

I hope you all have a great week and I'll be back tomorrow. As you start your week, please pray for sweet, precious Julee who lost her beloved husband suddenly this weekend. You won't waste a prayer on her and their baby, Preslee.

31 Days of Haney Life :: Day 4

If you're unfamiliar with my 31 Days topic, please take a moment and visit this post.

Today is October 4, 2012 and Griffin is 18 months old

We had a very average, normal day today. A lot of our days are like this, I'm finding, but I love the normalcy of life. The highlights of our day included a haircut for Griffin, a special lunch, and playing at the park.

Griffin typically HATES getting his haircut. He had haircut number 8 today-- yes, I said EIGHT-- and he's screamed bloody murder for the last five. It's never pleasant. Usually I take back up because he thrashes around so violently. I even take him to one of those fun children's haircut places even though it's 20 minutes away! I try to make EVERYTHING fun, you know? But he just really hates getting his hair cut.

Today, he really needed a trim before the weekend, and I knew there was no way that Ty could go with us, so I decided to buck up and take Screamer by myself. Imagine my shock when I gave him a lolly pop, stuck him in the "car" (a plastic seat shaped like a car), and put Super Why on the little television-- all things I have done before, mind you!-- and he sat there like a little angel the whole time. He didn't shed ONE TEAR! The sweet woman cutting his hair probably thought I was crazy because I took approximately one thousand pictures of him being cute and happy. I also kept squealing about how proud I was. I probably needed an intervention of sorts.

Oh, he was the SWEETEST. As a reward, we walked over to Panera where we picked up some lunch to go. The baby deserved a macaroni and cheese and boy, did he enjoy it! His mother also might have enjoyed a few bites in addition to her soup and panini. Maybe. Buddy man knows a good thing when he tastes it! What do they put in that macaroni anyway? SO GOOD and only about 1,324 calories per bite.

I was able to both relax and get some things done around the house during nap time. Those are my second favorite kinds of nap time. My first favorite is when I actually get to nap as well. There was no time for that today! After Griffin's nap, we went to a park a few blocks away that we've never actually been to. That's kind of shameful. It's not a huge park, but Griffin LOVED it. I loved it because he had so much fun. There were lots of places to play and lots of room to run. We will definitely be back soon! I just can't believe my baby is old enough to play (assisted) on playground equipment. SO SAD. But how funny is he on that dinosaur?? This picture makes me laugh!

Tonight was taco night and then my sweet husband sent me for a manicure since I was on sick Mom duty for three days this week. Good man. I now have a pretty fall color and I'm ready for the weekend! Oh, and since I know you're all wondering, my ear is feeling a little better today. Praise be to God. Maybe I'll wake up feeling 100% tomorrow!

Can't wait for Parks and Rec tonight! TREAT YOSELF. Best show on television. Happy Thursday!
