Thankful Thursday

This week I am thankful for so many thing.  This has been a hard week for me.  Lots of things going on and emotions running high.  But, even through all of that I have found things to be thankful for.


Today is my birthday and that is not the best day for me.  For some reason my birthday seems to always become one of the worst days of the year for me.  Everything seems to go wrong.  I have tried many times to skip this day in the year, but it never works.  I have never really had a great birthday that I can remember other than my birthdays as a kid.  I would have a normal kids birthday part.  As I got older It just went down hill somehow.


I am thankful though.  I am thankful that I have my family here with me.  Hubby may be working, but he is home every day.  I don't have to worry about him in another country fighting or over the road working.  I have Will with me, even though he thinks this is the day of the year to be as bad as he can possibly be.  My friends and my family call me to wish me a happy birthday every year, and so I never get forgotten.  My health is still good and my funds may be low, but I still have a house to live in and food on the table.  None of the bill collectors have turned anything off and I even got $20.00 from my father-in-law to go eat out.  (We went to McDonald's.  It was a treat for us. LOL)


I am also thankful for this blog.  It does keep me sane sometimes.  I have a place to go and share my feelings and show what I am doing in my life.  I have blogger friends that I keep up with who keep up with me.  I love giveaways and tend to win a few here and there.  I also love to check out other blogs and get new ideas.  So, thankful is a great feeling for today!  I hope everyone has a great day.


Hop on over to Grace Alone and link up with what you are thankful for.

Welcome The Beetle Bug

Have you seen those gas prices?  They are ridiculous!!!


I know they are higher in some areas than others.  Here they are currently about $3.41.  We are one of the places that has the lower gas prices.  In some states I have heard it is over $4.00 a gallon.  WOW!


We where struggling with gas prices.  Hubby figured he was paying $17.00 a day to go to work and come home.  That equalled to $400.00 a month in gas just for him.  That was not working for us at all.  So, Hubby decided it was time for a change.


He has all ways been a fan of the Volkswagen Beetles.  He like the old models and the new, but never thought he could fit in the new ones.  (He is over 6 feet tall and is just a big guy!)  He recently got to sit in one and found out he more than fit.  After that it was all he could think of.  He already liked them and the big bonus was that they can get 40+ miles to the gallon!


He was willing to trade in his truck (A Big Surprise!) for a beetle.  We started looking for one in our price range (used) right away.  Thursday afternoon we bought him his beetle.  It is an 05 with about 30,000 miles.  It is in perfect shape and looks brand spanking new!  It also has all those extras we didn't intend to get, but it came with the right price.  He has a convertible top, it's a turbo, it has a fancy sound system, leather seats that heat up,  mirrors that heat up, and so much more.  He is finding new things every time he gets in it (or reads the manual). LOL.

 So, we embraced the beetle and Hubby is loving every minute of it!  What are the gas prices where you live?  What do you think about getting a better fuel efficient car?

Meet Me On Monday!

Today's questions are:


1. Crunchy or soft tacos?  I like soft tacos, but when I make them at home (which is the majority of the time) I like to make myself a taco salad!

2. Do you scrapbook?  I have done a lot of scrapbooks, but at the moment the unfinished ones are on the back burner.  I just haven't had the time to get to them.  I do plan on doing those soon though!

3. Do you take any daily medications?  Not really.  I do take my daily vitamins and my allergy meds can sometimes feel like a daily medication.

4. What is your favorite sound?  I like a lot of different sounds.  I guess it depends on my mood.  Sometimes I like the sound of rain on the roof and sometimes I like the sound of my family having a good time.  Other times I just like the quite of a restful moment.  I am also a person who loves the sound of nature outside.

5. Where were you born?  I was born in a hospital.  My birth mother was in labor for 3 days before they realized she had broken her tail bone as a child and that's why I couldn't come out.  They had to re-break it for me to be born.

Meet Me On Monday is hosted by Java over at Never Growing Old.  Hop on over a join us!
