Grateful Wednesday

Alright, I know I am super duper tardy on this one so I am just going to have to post as is. :) It has been a busy busy week - but on Wednesday I started my grateful list, I just didn't complete with all my unnecessary commentary. so here goes nothin...

one.

work

I know it's strange but just go with it - not everyday do you hear someone say they are grateful for their job! note this, flag it, write it down - something because I am sure when i'm complaining about it you can point this out and be like "ha" "grateful for your job" "ha" "ha" "ha"!

 

 

 

two.

friends

this weekend we are having a semi party (you know like the one I wanted to have at the beginning of the summer in this post and this one too?!) and I am excited just to hang out with our friends. every weekend has been filled with everyone else's friends (I know I sound like a selfish whiny 5 year old but oh well - I can complain every once in a while, right?) so I am excited to just have a good time with OUR friends.

 happy days

our little old house I assume this goes with my lower grateful item - but I love our little house, especially with all of these blogs that show you a million and one ways to decorate, design and fix it up! 

five.

when I read a blog and it hits home 

people out there are going through the same stuff that we are going through and its comforting and beautiful to see how different people handle things. Honestly I feel like it makes me a bit more sane. My three favorite posts this week include the following:

1. All of Erin's, from Elements of Style, posts re her new house purchase. I love it - sometimes I feel like the same exact words have come out of my mouth (of course a lot less witty"er" than hers but you know what I'm sayin!)

2. on a light hearted note Cupcakes and Cashmere's post about her closet makes me want to clean mine SO bad and organize and make it my own and so on and so forth blah blah - but no seriously I've always wanted to personalize my closet - and like wallpaper the inside - HOW COOL WOULD THAT BE? (so COOL I know!). I secretly love wallpaper but know that's the only place that it will be allowed to go. :)

3. finally a cup of jo's posts - so many of them hit home. Here are a few that I find so honest, inspiring, interesting and fun (my favorites are the comments on this post).

 

Alright, well, Happy Friday! Have a fabulous LONG weekend!
