Buprenorphine and A Scent with My Boyfriend's Name

By
This week, I am grateful for many things. First and foremost, my family.

My sister: Saturday afternoon she spent 5 hours of her free time (which she never gets) back that the hospital helping my poor Ollie cat when she was sick. Throughout this week, even after her 13 hour days that begin at 5 a.m. and don't end until 7 or 8 p.m. that night, she has helped me feed and fluid and poke and scoop and everything else so that I might save some money and time with Ollie being sick.

Her husband, my brother-in-law, Will: He has helped me in so many ways, namely by keeping Lindsay sane, but also through coming to my work or going by and checking on Ollie. I'm so grateful that my big sister decided to take his name and be with him. He's such a great person.

My aunts and grandparents: For letting me bring Ollie with me to Mama Liz and Papa Joe's house last weekend while she was sick. Even though Cricket, the dachshund was not happy about that.

Grateful, also, to have a job that brings me to happy, heartfelt tears all of the time. 

Here are a few photos from this week that I snapped.

W# -- Ollie is feeling well enough to plop her butt on my computer keyboard :)

Lastly, I am grateful that I have a wonderful sense of smell and can fully appreciate the scent of "Noel" made my Crabtree and Evelyn. Smells like DECEMBER!

I've fallen in love with fall

By
Realizing that I had been taking all of these great photos of the fun things I have gotten to do lately, and that I haven't stopped in too long to discuss how grateful I am for my life, I decided to do a quick update. Today, I am grateful for fall weather, seeing Noel's eyes light up when he watches glass blowing, and good friends who are always willing to be the "third wheel." Yesterday, Noel, Jade and I went to the Renaissance Festival outside of Annapolis, MD. I have not seen Noel so excited to be in company of so many (strange) people! So, we nerded out and walked around, drinking beer out of our handmade mugs and eating (them) turkey legs and (me) fried bread. It was a healthy sort of day. I think the best part of the day was watching Noel watch the glass blowing from the artisans at Art of Fire . Jade , being the awesome person she is, couldn't resist buying up BOTH of the pieces that we watched being made. Which brings me to Jade. I'm not sure I...

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

Risotto and Sonny Perdue

By
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...
