Today, my "30 Days of Thankful" item is, my crazy luck. This year has bee AMAZING in terms of luck. On one side, I discovered a whole bunch of facebook pages that post links to freebies, free samples and giveaways. I have a basket full of shampoo, lotion and beauty samples. I've gotten pens, journals, reusable bags, tide stain release tablets, coupons for free shampoo, styling products, hair dye, chips, frozen dinners. Seriously, anything you can think of. I always say, I may suck at couponing, but I rock at free. On the other side, my winning streak this year has bee amazing, and I could not be more grateful and thankful for it. The Taylor Swift concert, the Andy Grammar/Colbie Caillat concert, Sever's Corn Maze tickets, movie screenings...an array of amazing events. Things we would never have the chance to do, if it weren't for a little luck. Today, that continued. I received notice this morning that I had won passes to the midnight opening of "Twilight: Breaking Dawn, Part 1" on Thursday. I immediately sent a note to Kari, my BFF and twilight fanatic, and asked her to be my date. Following that, I made date night plans with Christian for Saturday. We have to use a free game of mini-golf voucher he won last time we went out, then we're going to dinner, using a gift card I won a couple months ago, and, of course, my mom is watching the girls for us. Yes, I am one lucky girl. I SO many ways.
So, of course with all of that excitement and plan making, it was a pretty great day. Work has been flying by as I play catch up on some not-so-fun tasks I've been putting off. I realized this morning that Thanksgiving is next week. NEXT week! Can you believe it? It is truly amazing how fast time goes. I swear, I was just making grocery lists and mapping out my cooking plan. I am very happy that Thanksgiving doesn't require a lot of thought, because I would probably go crazy. I'm having a hard enough time planning Christmas gifts and Olivia's birthday! Such madness!
So, outside of the catching up, the luck and the planning, we didn't do a ton. Just another rather typical evening in our house. Here are the girls - popsicles make everybody chill out!
