My mini vacation puts me a bit behind in my GP again, but it did give me a lot to be grateful for :)

1)  I am grateful for cool, clean island air.  It makes an amazing difference in my asthma, skin and hair.  Yay for a decent level of humidity!

2)  I am grateful for my beautious laptop.  Movies, music and wireless internet connection no matter where you are ... well, almost anywhere (the middle of the ocean does not have a very strong wireless signal ;)

3)  I am grateful for pink hair!  Got a lot of weird looks on the island (I guess not a lot of people have brightly coloured hair there), but I love my hair too much care what folks think!

4)  I am grateful for WD, who took me to all of the places we went when we were first dating.  Lots of gorgeous pictures, and lots of beautiful memories. 

5)  I am grateful that the truck decided to wait until we got back before the engine exploded.  We are very sad at having lost our new truck after only a month (and $1500), but it could have been a lot worse.  Still a little dazed and unsure of what we are going to do for transportation.  I need to find my St Christopher's medal and find a recipe for a good vehicle protection spell.

6)  I am grateful that it is still warm and sunny and we have some beautiful fall weather while we figure out what we are going to do for the winter.

Today I am grateful for serendipity.  It loves me.  Yesterday, I lost my hoody on the way to work.  This kind of sucked, but it wasn't expensive and I wasn't in love with it, so I didn't really mind.  I can pick up a new one on my days off.

The seredipitous part?  Yesterday when I got to work, I won honourable mention in our 'Employee of the Month' contest, which nets me a trip to the swag room to pick out my choice to cool trinkets and stuff.  First on the list of things I can pick?  A hoody.  Yay!

This weekend has been busy ... and expensive.  We went to a wedding on Saturday, and while I am several hundred dollars poorer, WD has a GORGEOUS black microfibre jacket (pics to follow).  I also got my hair cut and a couple of pairs of new shoes (can't blame all the spending on WD ... though, I try!).  lol

My gratitude for Saturday is that I can spend that much money on getting ready to go to a friend's wedding, and not be having to tighten the belt for months afterwards.  I have to stretch a bit until Friday, but it really just means not going out for lunch everyday next week (which I shouldn't do anyway).  Yay for my vacation pay from the old job!

For Sunday, I am grateful for WD's new truck.  Being mobile again is magnificent!  I love being able to go to the mall and then out to the movies and it DOESN'T take several hours just in transit time.  I have missed a having a vehicle more than I thought I had (it's easy to forget when you spend so long not leaving the town you live in).

Today, I am grateful for not having to take the stupid pills anymore!  Yay!  I officially proclaim myself cured!  *doeshappydance*

I will post pictures (before and after for the hair) ... but I have to eat lunch and format them fist ;)
