I'm grateful for the beautiful warmish weather we had yesterday, although we are expecting bad storms as the day progresses. It is comfortable . . . and I'm so happy and content right at this moment in time . . . for many reasons.
Willie the Wonder Cat is still around, although he hasn't taken to staying confined inside. The cat can scream!! I already know when he wants out . . . so he wins. All in all, he has been a blessing since it has been so long since I've had a pet and he's a very affectionate cat . . . and a talker :) I'm grateful to have a little furry creature to love!
This past weekend was a blast! The Captain and I went to the Sicilian Festival at the Sons of Italy with Diamond Lil and Bob. Although my knees are still giving me a fit, we were able to dance all night.
One of the cool things about going to these social events and living in the same place all my life is I get a chance to see people I haven't seen in years. It was really nice to run into cousins I haven't seen in a really long time. Good food, great music, awesome company . . . who could ask for more? I'm grateful that Diamond Lil, my mom, is also my best friend :)
I'm so grateful for being free from having to work a "real job" . . . although I do miss the awesome friends I made. It is awesome to leisurely work on getting the house organized, play with my blogs and website, experimenting with blog hops, discovering giveaways/contests and winning lots of random stuff. Today's mail brought the mineral makeup I won . . . I love it . . . this was expensive stuff that was totally free!!
Don't you know that there has to be something to irritate me . . . I'm still backing up files from my external drive. I lost most of my graphics, although I had backed up a couple of months ago. Still . . . the graphics were my creations that are gone forever. But . . . the good news is that I thought I had lost EVERYTHING on my external drive . . . I'm grateful that The Captain is more of a computer geek than I and got it working long enough to back up what is left on there. It is a very long process backing up my videos and music . . . I'm not even close to finished!
Life is awesome again . . . and I'm so grateful to be sharing my life with The Captain who has made my life complete.
