Monday's Top 10 Happy List

Things that have made me happy this past week:

1.  Fresh paint on my Adirondacks.
2.  The blue clematis blooming in the garden that was a gift from my friend Glenda.
3.  Mike's Hard Cranberry Lemonade.
4.  My cat curled up on my lap.
5.  Going to Camp Happy even if it was just for a work day!  The river is fully up!
6.  The color turquoise.  I could write songs about how much I love it!
7.  My dad finally scheduling knee surgery.  He's so stubburn.

8.  Three days off this past week!  Thanks Judge Jeanne!
9.  The best of Janis Joplin on my ipod.  Even inspired me to create some Janis art. 
10. My son making the 1,000 lb Club!  His power clean was 235 lb, bench 320 lb and squat 450 lb.  I have to brag that only 7 football players for the coming year are in this club and Warren is the only sophomore to make it!  Congrats to the other players!

My Gifts

I have many talents.  Not bragging really.  Everyone has their gifts.   

I make cool things out of upcycled metal.  I am able to treat even the biggest A-holes with kindess.  (Thanks to years of kill 'em with kindness training by my mom).  I'm an expert in decoupage.  Tim tells me I'm a great kisser.  I make awesome guacamole.  I run a household that includes one lawman, one 255 lb. football player, three dogs, one cat and lots of teenage guests with ease.  Maybe I don't run it flawlessly but no one starves and the Health Department has not closed us down yet!

Of course there are things I can not do well.  Many actually.

I'm a terrible singer.  I can barely ride a bike.  I let clutter build up.  I can't knit.  I can't crochet.  I can't sew.  My omelets never turn out right.  I'm pitiful at math. 

And of course blogging.  I suck at blogging.

But I want to be great so here I am again.  Give me another chance okay?

My cat Square promises he will help me just as he is doing right now.  I'm so blessed.  :)
