31 Days of Gratefulness: Day 2

 
If there is one thing I can't stand it's when I create a nice organized schedule for the week and then something disrupts the schedule.  I plan out what meals we are having on what days, what kinds of exercise I'm going to do each day and any other plans we may have.  It takes time to do this.  So when my schedule does not go as planned, I get angry.
 
Well, it doesn't always work out the way I want it to.  My husband owns his own landscaping business so plans change all of the time.  Surprise meetings pop up.  Projects have to be completed on time.  Employees don't show up making my husband's day that much longer.  I feel like I am getting better at accepting the randomness of it all. 
 
Tonight was one of those nights when my plans were interrupted by my husband's business.  He had to schedule a dinner meeting with a designer so our dinner plans were out the window.  With my recent diet, it is hard for me to eat at a restaurant and stay on track.
 
So, today I am grateful for
 

Salad Bars

Yes, salad bars are awesome.  I am very picky about my salads.  I only like a specific kind of lettuce.  It can't be too dark and it can't be too light.  Yes I will pick through the lettuce until I fill my plate with the right kind of lettuce.  I only like ham cubes, cheese and a few croutons with my salad.  And I only like French or Catalina dressing.
 
Yes I'm that picky.  I can't help it.  So it's hard to find a salad bar that has everything I need.  So when my husband springs it on me that we are going out to dinner instead of eating the nice healthy  meal I had planned, I am extremely grateful for salad bars. 
It's simple but it works.

Blog Commenting Challenge!

Linking up with Jenna's Journey  for the 3rd Annual Blog Commenting Challenge! Hi! I'm Vanessa! I live with my husband Bryan and my amazing 6 month old Ashlyn in Pennsylvania. I was born and raised here and love it very much! We have 2 pugs, Katie and Utley, one black lab, Camo and one cat, Joey. Our second cat, Kitty, is sadly recently deceased (on Father's Day). I work full time as a Marketing Analyst for a supply chain consulting firm. I don't even know what that means really! I have been here for 3 years and am thinking about a career change. SAHM is looking better and better. My husband owns his own landscaping business which has been both wonderful and horrible at the same time! My husband and I know each other for about 17 years now and we have been together for 12. We got married in September of 2010, just 2 weeks shy of our 10th anniversary! We got pregnant after only 2 months of trying and last December we were greeted by Ashlyn Marie Miller,

I'm Not Gonna Lie

Anyone who knows me know that I LOVE Christmas.  I love the decorations.  I love to decorate my own house and see all of the other cool decorations other people have.  There is a house down the street from us that always has more lights and decorations than I have ever seen in one yard.  It's a bit much but it's an attention grabber. I love the Christmas tree.  I love to get the tree out each year (yes we have a fake because I can't stand the needles) and I love to decorate it.  Growing up, our family would decorate the tree together with all kinds of ornaments that we had collected over the years.  I like to do themes for my trees.  Last year I did pink and silver in honor of the newest member of our family.  I'm really hoping to instill the tradition of decorating the tree with my kids. I love finding the perfect gifts for people and I love to watch their reactions when they open those gifts.  I generally wait until I have purchased ALL of my gifts, I sort them

A Few New Things...

First off, I have 15 followers!  I am so grateful to have more followers.  I can't even tell you how great it makes me feel to know that people want to read my blog.  Through all of the linking up I have been doing, I have 15 followers and I have found a TON of new blogs to read.  I am really enjoying reading them all every day!! In case you don't believe me.......................... I know 15 doesn't seem like a lot but it's a lot to me.  It means the world to me to have people interested in my life.  The second change is that I added a new page.  It's my Summer Bucket List .  I posted this list a little while ago but I know that I will forget about it so I added it as a page.  Now I can actually cross things off as I do them.  I have already crossed one thing off the list and I hope to cross them all off by the end of the Summer!  I guess the end of the Summer would be September 21st so I have until then.  And if I don't get them all crosse
