Decide to enjoy....

Another work week in the books and now I'm ready for the weekend. After Allen went to work, spent the evening cleaning house and watching silly chick flicks. I'm excited b/c my brothers and sisters in laws are coming to visit us this weekend. We have all been invited to our friends' annual Halloween party. Pictures to come...

I wanted to share this with everyone. One of the trainers at work sent this out in an email and I think it is a great little paragraph. Motivating...

"Decide to enjoy
Even the most difficult work feels easy when you let if flow from your heart. You can take on the most complicated and challenging tasks with the effortless ease when you let go of your resistance to them. Do you feel resentment about what you must do? If so, you're only making it more difficult and unpleasant. Can you choose instead to feel sincere gratitude for the opportunity to get it done? Of you course you can, and by so doing you dramatically improve your performance. If the effort feels disagreeable , that's only because you want it to feel disagreeable. And why exactly would you want that? Resentment and resistance will only bring you down, and cause you to work longer at doing what you don't want to do. yet it is always within your power to make a positive change. Decide to enjoy what you're doing, and just like magic you'll suddenly be doing what you enjoy. Not only that, you'll be doing a much better job of it.--Ralph Marston : source: http://greatday.com/motivate/101029.html.


Hope everyone had a great week and that everyone has an even better weekend. LOVE YOU ALL!

Suggestions?

Tonight we went grocery shopping and happened to leave our back "patio" light on. When we came back six jr high/high school aged boys are playing football in our backyard. Not our side yard, but OUR back yard. I didn't know what to do. I just stepped back there and stared at them for a minute. Allen was carrying groceries. We went inside and turned the light off. Of course they had to move because they couldn't see back there any more, but what do you think? Do you think that turning the light off was a neighborly way to say get the heck out of our yard? Was it enough? Should we have said something? What should we do the next time? Suggestions can be left in the chat box. Any and all will be appreciated.

P.S. I am certain some of the boys left with dog poop on their shoes, as they were playing in OUR backyard that Penny poops in....

Some Sunday stuff...

Short week, YAY!

This weekend was so wonderful. The weather was absolutely perfect and we loved spending time with everytone. Tomorrow is my Thursday, since Thursday is my Friday this week. I have taken a mini-vacation in honor of our two year anniversary. We don't have any major plans yet. Who knows, maybe we will laze around in our pajamas for three days...we will see.

Oh Friday...

...only one night of sleep away! I'm really excited for this weekend. Matt and Nicole are going to come into town. (I did get the junk moved off the floor in the guest bedroom finally. YAY!) The weather forecast so far looks amazing. Gorgeous for the day and just cool enough for the fire to be a comfort, but not cold enough to make anyone miserable. GOOD! :)

No dapples....

I forgot to give the update about our future puppy. She was born this weekend. Well, at least we think she's the one we want. The lady we are getting her from has another mini-dachshund who is supposed to deliver this weekend and she said the one delivering this weekend will probably have a few more puppies since she is a bigger mini. We would like to find one to come close to Penny's size....which is actually going to be very hard because Penny is one of the smallest mini-doxi's we've ever seen. So, we think we are going to take the black and tan little girl that was born to a smaller mini this past weekend. She said there weren't any silver dapples.

Reminder to self...

Although the scenery on the way to and from work is breathtaking, I must remind myself that I'm driving, to focus on the road. I passed a tree so beautiful today that I wanted to stop my car right in the middle of the highway to take a picture. I just LOVE this time of year. I hope everyone is having a good week, tomorrow is midweek already! The phones are VERY busy this week, and I don't see any relief in sight...good...that's what we want, JOB SECURITY! :)

Can this week hurry up?

I can't wait for the weekend! I hope the weather is nice because I am looking forward to some bonfire hotdogs and my dad's chili! MMmmmm! :)

Blogging from bed

This weekend we made the switch to Sprint. I can now blog from bed with my hubby right next to me. How sweet the switch is LOL. Goodnight all!

Ahh the joys of city life...

Listening to other people's children screaming at the top of their lungs, while they are throwing sticks into your yard. I cannot decide which is best, the screaming, or the insessant sound of one small child on a scooter, back and forth, back and forth.....

LOL!

But the day is gorgeous. So absolutely unbelievably beautiful, I'm so thankful to be living, and not just existing.

Date night tonight! YAY!

Allen and I are having a date night tonight. Just us. Something we haven't done in a while. I scored a coupon for buy one get one free meal at Ruby Tuesdays out of a magazine, which is a really good deal! He's sleeping now of course, but when he gets up I think we are going to go look for new cell phones! YAY! :)

YAY! A BLOG POST!

Well, I made it through another crazy week at work. Things are speeding up big time, we have alot of new groups and groups renewing which mean many people with many questions. Oh well, without the questions, my job wouldn't exist, so BRING IT ON! :)

Everyone always asks me how do I feel about having to drive 30 minutes to get to work and then 30 more minutes back home. I really don't mind it much at all. I really thought I would hate it because for almost two years I didn't have to drive farther than 10 minutes to get to work. The truth is I actually kind of enjoy the ride. In the morning it gives me time to prepare myself for the day, and in the evening it gives me the time to wind down from the work day. It also helps that the drive is a beautiful drive either way, whether I go the bottom road or the interstate. ( I usually take the interstate, it's faster. ) This week has been especially breath taking on the way to work. I leave just early enough for the sun to just start peaking over the trees, and the blankets of fog still hang in the fields. The wonderful colors of autumn set everything off in a perfect way, and it's truly breath taking. I had several days this week when I was almost moved to tears at the beauty of it. (Cheesy, I know, but true.)

I HATE THE ALLERGIES that come with fall, for me they are my worst allergies, but I think it's my favorite season. I'm so glad Allen and I were married in the fall.

Speaking of being married, getting ready to pass the 2 year mark! We are still just getting started with the rest of our lives. And I honestly think that I am even more in love with my wonderful husband than I was the day I married him, if that is even possible ! I don't know that it is necessarily, MORE in love with him, but I think my love is DEEPER.

SIGH...of complete contentment...:)

Blog picture of the day is what the Peter's Heating guy took out of our dryer and had to replace this morning at 7:45 a.m. YIKES!
