Thankful Thursday

Ah, beloved Thankful Thursday. You have been missing for quite some time as I was basking in my lame-o-ness. Welcome back.

This week I am thankful:

That I finally have a ring on my finger! (WOO WOO!!!) I thought we were basically engaged before and if someone asked me about my plans or whatever, we weren't so secretive that we wouldn't say that we already had a date and stuff. But I always felt a little weird saying that we were engaged with my bare finger, and I was totally dying to make the formal announcement. And now I have a ring, I have a ring, I have a ring, hey hey hey hey! (Thank you, Little Rascals.)

That I'm finally losing this weight I've put on, and am thisclose to my Pre-Josh weight. Just in time for wedding dress shopping (WOO WOO!!). My body is kind of weird when it comes to losing weight. Usually I have to be diligent in working out and eating right for 3 or 4 months, seeing virtually no results, then out of nowhere it's like the weight just falls off. I'm all for the falling off, but sometimes it's hard to remain motivated and diligent when it seems to be doing no good. I am also grateful to have recognized this pattern so it helps make it a little easier. I'm one of those who gains weight if I think about food, but at least I can usually get it off.

That I have been in such a good mood lately and it's really really hard to upset or annoy me. (Josh is really grateful for this, too.) It's so weird and I can't figure out why in the heck I am in such a good mood. (Sarcasm, obviously.) I don't really feel like I'm giddy, but I suppose that I sort of am. Yesterday I was trying to talk to a co-worker who is relatively new in the office, and I kept getting distracted, pausing mid-sentence and losing my train of thought (because Josh and I were discussing honeymoon options on gchat) (WOO WOO!!). I finally was just like, "Argh, I'm sorry. I'm really distracted," then to make fun of myself I stopped, stared at my ring and said, "Ooo, pretty!" My co-worker said, "I've never seen you so giddy!" and apparently I've been a delight (seriously, Heather. Stop using that word) to be around. Woo woo for being pleasant!


Wow. This is getting a little out of hand. I think I'm almost annoyed with me and, like I said before, it's basically impossible to annoy me right now so that's saying something.

Will you guys still be my friends when I chill out? Kthanksomuch.

somehow I was just made more cheerful by reading this :) So THANK YOU this thursday. Except that I am sure it will fade when my kids wake up from their naps and I will once again be easily annoyed ;)

So I am so happy and excited for you about the official engagement and the GINORMOUS ring! I am almost in tears. Let's blame that on the pregnancy hormones. I love ALL the details form your story. It's fun and not annoying. Congratulations!!! My husband and I were married in December too :) almost 8 years ago.

You are definitely giddy, but that's a good thing!

I'm glad I'm not the only one who did it out of order. Boots and I are planning out wedding for this September but no ring yet!
