This week, Tuesday felt like Friday, then Thursday felt like Tuesday, so today when I woke up and it felt like Friday, I was doing well. Confusing, I know. This is my life.
To celebrate the week, here are a few things I was reminded that I love through the week:
1) Cooking. I have come to love cooking. I like throwing things together and seeing how my thoughts play out in a pan. I haven't had too many horrible failures, but a few things were a bit questionable. Poor Jon is the guinea pig most of the time, but he is a trooper. This week's adventure was a beef stew made with top sirloin, fingerling potatoes, carrots, onions, tomato paste, red wine (yes, I cooked with wine. FANCY!), and stock. It was YUMMY, if i do say so myself. And I do.
2) Progressive insurance. I've said it before, and I'll say it again - I LOVE my insurance company. Love and insurance are two words that are rarely in the same sentence, but this is the exception. My rates have dropped every year since I've been with them. Every time I call for a question or issue, I get to speak with someone in the US who speaks very clear, understandable English. They are extremely helpful every time I call. They never try to trick me or overcharge me for something, not even when I had a claim. Repairing hail damage was leaps and bounds easier than I expected. I could make my own commercial for them. Oh! Idea :)
3) 70 degree weather in January. Another rarity. Unless you're in North Texas - gorgeous weather today. You know what that means, folks - sunroof open, windows down, and music up. The only downfall, it'll be 20 degrees in a few days. For now, I'm enjoying the break from the cold. Bring on the spring-time weather!
4) Last, but certainly not least, writing. Little blog, meet the world. World, meet my little blog. This week, I introduced this blog to the world. Up until now, this has been entertainment only for me. It's been my way to begin writing again. I've always loved writing, but had no reason to do it since college. This week, I was ecstatic that people would even read this if not forced, let alone that they would enjoy it. So, thank you, to all of you for reading and letting me know that this whole project has been worthwhile :) You've all made my week!
Happy Friday, all! Enjoy the weekend!
I have progressive too!!!! and i absolutely lovve them :) Yes I can see you now as flo. haha.. I just started reading your blog.. kodos love it~~ keep up the great work!!
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed being your cooking guinea pig too while I was there and I will tell all that those impromptu cooking ideas you come up with taste wonderful! Maybe you need to consider writing a cookbook between working and blogging (which I am very much enjoying btw) and spoiling your dog (yes, she does spoil Beaux)!!
