Thursday's List
I just finished my last set of discussion questions for my class. One more paper and I am DONE!!
This has been a busy week....
Lots to smile about and a lot to just roll my eyes at and try to move past.
The sun has finally come out- which is always exciting...we had a pretty good stretch of rain so it was nice to feel the sun....
My plants appreciated the sun....we have blossoms on the tomatoes (okay so one but it still counts right?)..the cucumbers are growing, the peppers have little itty bitty baby beginning peppers on them and my lettuce needs to be picked
The outside cat is much less matted and we don't have to worry about fleas at the moment which is good...she hasn't forgiven hubby for shaving her yet- but at least we don't have to deal with skin infections because of the mats
my kitchen floor was washed tonight (that's the positive side to the pipe coming loose and spilling the blocked water all over the place....made me clean up the mess and wash the floor...always a bright side )
I am almost done with my class...that is pretty cool....I think that hubby finally got how much this really means to me today....not that he wasn't supportive in the past but it was kinda just something that I was doing and he would roll his eyes at...tonight we had a really good conversation about the whole thing and I think he finally gets it..
He was tickled by all your comments on his love note but told me I had to tell you that he doesn't do it often (or this is the first time in five years he did it) and he was sure that he did something that negated how cute it was throughout the day....he did manage to remind me why I love him and why he infuriates me so much all in one day.....isn't that the basis of a good relationship though....change it up a bit!
My grandfather is at home and is actually taking it easy for the moment...his blood pressure is finally back down to normal levels
I am caught up at work and although I am not at my goal for the month yet I am very close and with any luck should be there by the end of next week
I had a pretty big deal come through at the beginning of the week that made it's way up the food chain....good exposure with people I will hopefully be interviewing with soon for this new job
I am going to buy myself a new camera....a really snazzy one as a graduation present. I want to go get it now..but I won't....once I find out my final grade...then I will go and buy it to celebrate my 4.0 haven't decided yet which one....I am in love with my Cannon Rebel film camera and they make one very similar to that in a digital but I am digging the new Nikon's too....
hubby still likes his not so new job and his stress level is lower..which is pretty awesome
I got my order in the mail this week of my new summer dresses that I bought for a steal....kinda excited about those...
Not a bad list for a busy stressful week....I have been thinking about my blog giveaway and still haven't decided what I am going to do for prizes...but at least I am thinking about it...hubby is too...he texted me today and said I think that xcxxx would be a good prize for your giveaway....I am not sure why I did the give away when I did knowing that I probably wasn't going to get to it immediately...but thanks for being patient with me....I can't wait to pull some stuff together...
I hope that this finds all of you well....I am having trouble commenting on some blogs and others have disappeared from my reader...but know that I am reading and that I am wishing all of you father's out there a wonderful father's day weekend.....I don't know if I will get back here before Sunday...I have to get a paper done.... hugs, love and lots of positive wishes to the universe for each of tonight!!

Relieved
Well- I don't know if it was all your good wishes or just the fact that my grandfather is a crotchety old man (said with much love and admiration) but he is home and doing fine.
The cauterization showed a partial blockage that they will be able to fix with medicine.
I talked to him tonight and he tells me I worry too much...
I know that death is a natural part of life...
I have seen it in many different ways...
However, I am a fortunate one- I knew all of my great grandparents-
My great grandmothers died when I was young (ish) around 12. I didn't lose my great grandfathers until I was a senior in high school. My other great grandmother died five years ago.
My other grandfather died when i was a senior in college- I can't believe that's been twelve years already. I still miss him every single day.
These grandparents- my dad's parents- have been there for me through everything.
They lived an hour away when i was in college- closer than any other member of my family-
So I visited them on the weekends
I brought my dirty laundry to their house
I had holiday dinners with them when I couldn't make it home
I cried on their shoulders when I had my heart broken
They were at the college for random day trips- because they thought I needed to get off campus
They came to see the shows I directed or stage managed
They saw me on stage the time or two people managed to get me there
They would rescue me when I needed a break.
My pops would put his hand on my shoulder and squeeze and tell me that he was proud of me...
and still is the first one to get a hug when I go to their house.
He will just look at me through my wild and crazy stories and just shake his head and say "Nic"
He checks my oil and my tire pressure every single time before I leave their house
He is one of my soul mate....he understands me without me having to say a word and knows just what I need to hear..
He's a crotchety old man who can be stubborn as a mule...
but he has a heart of gold.
I know death is a part of life.
Selfishly- I am not ready for that part yet...and thankfully today, I got to hear him say "I told you nothing bad's going to happen...love ya Nic" one more time....

not the best picture every- but my grandparents dancing at my aunt's fiftieth party.
So wrong....
That i am sitting here attempting to concentrate on work while my grandfather is in the hospital getting a cautherization right now.
I wish I could be there but he was pretty adamant that we not come.
Thoughts, prayers and wishes are asked for...whatever you believe...
This is the second one in less than a year....
He's a stubborn old man who I love to piece and hope taht he comes out of this okay..
My heart is breaking into a million pieces at the thought that he might not be okay...
not a good way to start a Monday...
Hugs and love to you all...

Random pictures
One of the fur babies favorite spots is in the sink in the new bathroom...apparently it's just the right size...
How does the garden grow?? I normally have a black thumb so the fact that the plants are growing is amazing to me....hopefully we will get some veggies..

Cucumbers
Lettuce....two different kinds
Several different varieties of peppers
I planted half a potato in a pot with some flowers....I think the flowers are getting eaten by the potato...which is kind of a bummer but will be interesting to see if the potato actually grows under the soil
several different kinds of tomato plants..
Zucchini plants, more cucumbers and red cabbage
A picture of my fabulous hubby at lunch today...isn't he a cutie!!
Happy Saturday...
