It's OK

Its Ok Thursdays

I absolutely love the two blogs mentioned above. They have a regular weekly blog post and I have decided to play along.  I encourage you to read theirs as well.  I have absolutely nothing in common with these women, but enjoy living vicariously through them.  Much like reality tv.....lol

It's OK....

That it is my 42nd  29th birthday today....yeah me!

That I have a weird fascination with my urban dictionary desk calendar and now the app. So does Katie. We love looking words up.  It keeps me young and hip to raise these gals :)  Warning, some of the words are not appropriate for any one's eyes.  Please do not judge, I just skip over those.

That every year I try to give something up for Lent and fail (I forgive myself since I am not Catholic and don't really have to practice this).  Every year it is my favorite beverage, Coca Cola.  I am addicted.  I have only cheated 4 times since Ash Wednesday and every time it has tasted AMAZING.......fountain coke is my very favorite version, so each time I at least make it worth it.  Thank you Jesus for grace and forgiveness :)  Today is a free day since it is my birthday (I always add that in from the beginning). 

That I am sad(but only for myself) that my coworker is staying home with her children after today.  She and her family will be greatly blessed for this decision. 

That I take my birthday off of work every year for an "All About Me Day".  I love feeling absolutely no pressure to do anything but what I want to.  Sometimes it's shopping, one year it was a pedicure, some days it is reading a good book and taking a nap.  Today it may be lunch with Hubby or  shopping, I just haven't decided yet :) 
 
We should always strive to reach our full potential, but remember we all need "just ok" moments !!!

    Have a good 'ME' day and enjoy your coke. Hope it quits snowing for just a bit and the sun shines for you.

Friday's Fav Five

Today I am joining it with a new link up for me.  It is hosted by  Living to Tell the Story .   My Friday Fav Five list goes something like this... 1. My three older girls were still up watching television together when I went to bed last night.  My room is right next to the living room so I could hear their conversations.  Although I wasn't ease dropping, I did start to listen.  They were talking about casual and personal things.  I realized that they are all growing up and their conversations with each other are growing as well.  It was like listening to a group of 3 women talking over coffee.  My heart wanted to burst and I may have teared up or actually cried..... maybe. I am so thankful for this wonderful bond they will have with each other for the rest of their lives. 2.  I am just thankful it is Friday.... we have had snow and strep throat at our house this week.  I am ready to shut the books on this we...

On the Books for January 5, 2015

Today I am joining up with The Simple Woman to give you a peek into my daybook for this week...   Outside my window.... There is a light dusting of snow.  Nothing too intimidating...yet.   I am thinking... That a salad for lunch sounds good today.  I do not usually like salad so this is a little  weird. I am thankful... That I was able to spend quality time with my people the past week and a half.  I am wearing.... Work attire :( no more sweats until whenever I have to leave the house.   I am creating... I just purchased some new yarn over the weekend.  So I am getting ready to start a new scarf and some boot cuffs.   I am going... To Walmart on lunch.  Yep, back to normal this week.  I am wondering.... How many days until the next holiday :)  I am reading.... Just my devotional this week.  I am doing Jesus Calling again this year and maybe the Women of the Bible devotional as ...
