still proud, still grateful!

pardon the absence! i ended up staying home feeling ill on tuesday. in retrospect i think i needed a full day to myself after a crazy weekend with the family. so i wasn't feeling particularly grateful or proud for a few days. but it's friday, and i'm ALWAYS grateful for friday.

some other things for which i'm grateful:
1) i'm kitty sitting this weekend, so i got to spend 2.5 hours with an adorable 6 month old kitty named moo this evening. when i tried to take a picture of her with my phone, she attached the phone.

2) i bought a ticket to atlanta for july to see my sister and her family. she also arranged a meeting for me with her firm's interior designer (see www.carsonguest.com). it's EXACTLY the kind of design i want to do, so i'm hoping the designer with whom i'm meeting will have a lot of helpful insight for me! (please note - this is NOT an interview.)

3) a few years ago, my dad insisted on buying a few space heaters for my apartment because it was so incredibly cold in here even (especially!) during the summer. tonight, i'm very grateful that he insisted because it's freezing! my residents aren't allowed to have them, but i'm ok with being a hypocrite as long as i'm a warm hypocrite. :)

and i'm proud of a few things i accomplished this past week as well.
1) the kitchen sink is still clear of dirty dishes! this IS a major accomplishment.

2) i made an exercise chart with scrapbook paper and stickers. so every day that i exercise, i get to put a sticker on the calendar. it's funny how getting to put a tiny sticker on a piece of paper will actually motivate me to exercise. who knew?

night, kids!
