Thankful Thursday

Is it really Thursday again?  Wow, I have been in a haze to the tenth degree.  Good days and bad days intermingled with a lack of sleep and copious amounts of caffeine. 

This week, I'm thankful for:

good friends.  I love that there are people in my life that will talk with me and hang out with me even when I'm a real b*tch.  That makes things better and helps ease the paranoia of "nobody likes me"

leading Bible study. It's been a nice challenge to be in the teaching role with adults again.  But I can feel that I'm not as good as I once was.  I'm hoping that practice with help with this.  Luckily, I have a great group that's willing to slug through with me.

used books!  I went to a pretty big used book sale this week and found oh so many goodies for homeschooling, as well as a few books for personal reading. 

a loving husband.  He is so sweet and kind.  He even stays up late with me when I can't sleep.  He also has great taste in TV shows so we get to watch almost all of our TV time together.  LOVE HIM!

language.  I am finally getting to the point where I am actually enjoying Hannah's language development in a way that is not about correction.  On Tuesday, she told me the story of the good Samaritan and let us know he was attacked by robins that were waiting behind a rock for him.  Let me tell you, after that story, I'm a little bit scared of mascot from Red Robin.

Is it me, or does it appear that he's jackin' a car in this photo???

Red Robin mascot.

Tasty Tuesday: Roasted Broccoli

I ran across this recipe on Pinterest the other day that was labeled " The Best Broccoli Of Your Life. " I normally either steam our broccoli in the microwave or saute it with olive oil and red pepper flakes on the stove top. I decided this would be something to try. I did the salt, pepper and olive oil part of the recipe. I didn't have the majority of the other ingredients. In fact, all I had was a little bit of Parmesan  It was wonderful. Not the best broccoli of my life, but honestly, it was pretty close. And if I had the lemon juice and all that jazz, it may very well be the best. What have you been eating lately?

Together is a Beautiful Place by Bailey T. Hurley

  Have you ever wanted to be a better friend or been stumped by how to make your friendships more meaningful? If so, you might want to pick up a copy of Together is a Beautiful Place. Hurley does an excellent job of sharing ways to connect with people that you know and how to easily take your relationships from surface level to deep and meaningful parts of your life. One of my favorite parts of the book is when Hurley incorporates surveys and other data to give insight into relationship building. She shares that it takes 90 hours of social interaction to consider someone a friend. When you’re only seeing each other in passing, it will take much longer than when you carve out time to specifically be with people.  Overall, Together is a Beautiful Place is an encouraging and helpful read. Exactly what I needed as I continue to make friends in life.  I received a copy of this book through NetGalley for the purpose of review. I’m never required to say nice things about books but I’m always
