Thankful Thursdays: February 9

Today, I am most thankful.

I'm thankful for a fabulous weekend with the Fives.
We went to the aquarium and to the World of Coke, but most importantly, we LAUGHED A LOT.  It was wonderful.
Cara- sorry your eyes are closed in this picture. But it was the
best of the fish. AND your hair looks beautiful!

I'm thankful I went swimming last night.
It was my first workout in 10 days.  Last week I had conflicting schedules and no energy. Then I was gone over the weekend and sick at the beginning of the week. I didn't exactly feel like driving back to the gym last night after work, but I'm so glad I did. And when I started and wasn't sure I was going to make it five whole minutes, I'm glad I just kept swimming and made it to 30 minutes. Ten minutes past my goal! I love swimming. That never happens when I'm running.
My beautiful pool. I shot it blurry so it would
look to you, like it does to me when I swim
fast.  Cause I'm that fast. Ha!

I'm thankful my swimsuit still fits.
Even though it is a little worse for wear, I'm glad I can still pull it on.  Spandex (isn't that what suits are made of?)  is an amazing fabric.

I'm thankful that I did my taxes this week.
And that means money is going to be magically bequeathed to me by the federal government in a few weeks.

I'm thankful for Nestle TollHouse cookies.
They've been my treat this week and a wonderful treat they have been. So easy and so good.

I'm thankful for sick days.
I came down with a bad cough this weekend, and I needed a few days on the couch. I'm glad I have more sick days stored up than one could ever use. Judging by the distance my coworkers kept from me and my hacking cough yesterday, I maybe should've spent one more day at home.

I'm thankful that this guy decided to put on a show for us at the aquarium last Saturday.
Seriously, watching this octopus move was mouth-gaping-open amazing. At first I thought he was just a rock in the corner of the tank, then, just as we were about to walk away, he started moving, dancing over to us, waving and dancing back.
Hello, Mr. Octopus!

What are YOU thankful for this week?
