Today's List of Thankfulness

Today was a good day. There wasn't a lot happening at work, so I caught up on some odds and ends on my desk. Then I got to leave early since I didn't get to take a lunch break due to some outside meetings that took place today. Then I headed off to my IAAP meeting, which is always a good time. IAAP is a group that gave me a lot of scholarships during my time in college. It is a group for administrative assistants, since I am now one, I attend the meetings. It's cool because I see a lot of my old classmates, professors, and my best friend from college—Heather.

Tonight, the topic of the meeting was, "Laughter is the Best Medicine." The speaker was a man named Stoey. He is originally from the south and now a current Zanesville resident. He is really down to earth, but is actually quite successful. I would love to know more of his story. He speaks English, Arabic, French, and I believe he also said Spanish. He was an interrogator during the Desert Storm. He is a very interesting speaker. Anyway, I laughed a lot tonight.

Afterwards I made a trip to Wal-Mart, then I headed home. Dad and I worked on a new song for Sunday. It is by Shane & Shane called When I Think About the Lord. It is a great Thanksgiving song, and I love singing and playing it.

Speaking of Thanksgiving, here is tonights list—all part of my Wal-Mart experience:

1.) Bioré Deep Cleansing Pore Strips—lets face it, I am 23, and I still struggle with my skin. These things are great! They quickly remove dirt and grime from your pores. In fact, I am using them right now!

2.) Star Fruit—they are an unusual but delicious fruit, and they would make a great garnish for 4th of July dishes. Thanks to Misty who first got me hooked!

3.) Organizing—I bought some files and labels to start expanding my important papers collection.

4.) Campbell's Soup at Hand—During the winter, I love having soup at work that is so convenient. Just heat and sip! Today I was given a tip about soup...Look for low sodium versions. They taste just as great without the excess heart stopping sodium contents!

5.) Parking spots at the entrance—this almost never happens, but I am so happy when it does. Mom and I have a tradition that when this happens, we were meant to go to this particular store for some amazing bargain. We pull into the coveted spot and say, "We were supposed to come here!"
