I will have a new position in the beginning of the year!! You may ask, what has changed and why do I feel this way. Well, I have faith in God and I have faith in...here it comes you guys...I have faith in myself and my abilities!! First and foremost, I was able to land this job without any problems. I landed this job because I prayed on it and I had faith in myself!! Anywayz, I will be sure to let you all know when I receive an email or when I receive a phone call informing me of my new placement!!!
Okay, well not a lot has been going on in my life. I have gained a few pounds since the Thanksgiving holiday and I am working hard to shed those pounds. I have no worry in regards to my weight because I am very active and somewhat vain...Therefore, I KNOW I will lose these unwanted 7 pounds. LOL!!! I have to lose these pounds. LOL!!!
Here's what contributed to the weight gain...Every holiday, I prepare several desserts. This year was no different and I prepared a sweet potato cheesecake and 2 sweet potato pies. Both recipes were found online and were a hit with the family, although the sweet potato pies were not quite as solid due to a weee bit too much milk and heavy cream. I had every intention of taking pictures of my holiday creations and posting them on my blog. However once I got into the swing of things, I didn't have time to stop and take pics. I tend to get a bit too involved and don't want to stop with my creations.
But my creations were not the only contributing factor to these unwanted 7 pounds. My sis did it up big time and cooked the entire Thanksgiving meal herself. We had a huge (albeit a bit dry) turkey, stuffing, greens, potato salad (I don't eat), deviled eggs (I don't eat), corn bread, twice baked stuffed potatoes, mac&cheese, numerous other desserts, and I know I am missing other sides. The food was gooood y'all. I ate. Then I ate more. Then I ate some more. I appeared at her house the following day so I could fix a plate and eat. I had a ball and the food was great.
I was in the company of family and friends and was very thankful to share that day with them. I understand this post is many, many days late, but I would like to share with everyone what I am thankful for. I am am thankful for:
- my family
- my friends
- my health
- my sane mind
- my furbaby Houston
- my functioning 5 senses
- my many possessions (lets me know I am blessed)
- my financial savvy
- the great people I meet on a daily basis
I have soooo much to be thankful for. To list them all would take forever, and quite frankly, it's almost quitting time for me LOL!!!!! To those of you out there, I say take a little bit of time EVERY day to appreciate and be grateful for the people, things, and experiences you have. That's it for now. I am back and I am on the move to bigger and better things....will post about that later. Smooches and love to you all!!!
