19th birthdays and strawberries

Today I am grateful for good surgeons and fresh strawberries.

Dad went into and came out of surgery yesterday. It's scary to me and I think everyone to see him in the hospital. I'm just so thankful that everything went okay. I'll be seeing him tonight and I can't wait. He called Lindsay yesterday and said drunkenly, 'it's yor birfday. Allllll day.'

I meant to get up and cook Lindsay breakfast yesterday on her birthday, but i woke up feeling terrible so I shifted it to today.

Got over there around five and made her some delicious pancakes, eggs, and strawberries with hand whipped (by yours truly) cream:


The shapes on top are supposed to be the numbers 1 & 9. She said yesterday that this would be her last birthday. So I accidentally took ten years off of her life so that I could continue celebrating it with her. For at least another ten years. We'll see how she feels at 39.

Athens and artichokes

Today I am grateful to live in Athens. ITs a small community but a great one. One where little ol me can get into the newspaper twice in one year. I'm not too excited about the photo they chose of me but there was no caption so hopefully the banner herald readers will not know it was me. http://onlineathens.com/stories/080210/liv_689380630.shtml Tonight Lindsay Will and I made paneer spinach and artichokes that we dipped in butter and bernaise. So delicious. And very round: Toby was quite jealous. He had a few leftovers, though. - Posted using BlogPress from my iPhone Location: Normal Ave,Athens-Clarke County,United States

Risotto and Sonny Perdue

Today I am grateful that I woke up to Noel kissing me on the cheek as he was leaving. Today Sarah, Cheryl and I went to the ribbon cutting of the MCG/UGA Medical School Partnership. It was not as much hot as it was extremely humid...and I immediately drenched the dress that Julie gave me. I have never gotten so many comments about a dress before. I am grateful to Julie for giving me some great new clothes. My whole outfit today cost about 5 dollars. That doesn't count the underwear...but you can't count that because underwear is expensive. I love this great dress that Julie gave me, bottom line. This is a photo of Cheryl and I fake cutting the ribbon before the actual ribbon cutting.  I know my posts always involve food...but I love to cook. I found this recipe in a magazine and it was all about green food. Recipes for zucchini, pea soup and then this one were in the article.  Who can resist a big helping of spinach and goat cheese risotto made with vegetable stock and...

Despite that...there's still this.

These past few weeks I have definitely had my fare share of things to focus on. And most of them were negative. But, in the spirit of a gratefulness blog...I will only focus on the positive here in this post. First and foremost...my Ollie cat is feeling better. I woke up to her throwing everything around her kennel...which normally wouldve upset me. But I am so grateful she is feeling back to her normal self. The rest of the things I am grateful for off the top of my head: -I found a dime on the ground today. That's 10 cents less that I have to come up with for the 2500 in vet bills. - I have amazing coworkers who tell me things like, "you're everyone's favorite." - the top button on my iPhone started miraculously working again. - Stephanie made me chocolate covered pretzels. Possible the best treat for a person who really doesn't like sweets. - I have a warm bed and two sweet girls to share it with. Goodnight all. - Posted using BlogPress from my iPhone
