ten reasons why i liked today.

by Janetha on May 31, 2011

in eating out,meals,random rambles

1. it felt like monday at work, but it was really tuesday.. so tomorrow is already wednesday!

friday will be here before we know it.

2. we went somewhere different than the original pancake house for our sales meeting breakfast.

that “somewhere different” happened to be one of my favorite breakfast spots.

i got an egg white omelet with spinach, mushrooms and cheese, a side of wheat toast and some fruit.

IMG_8524

different is good.

3. i used my new owl lunch pail for the first time!

so cute. thanks, jessica.

4. i ate a bagel sandwich for lunch.

here’s a fact:

days with bagel sandwiches consumed > days without bagel sandwiches consumed.

also had some cottage cheese and a side of cucumbers.

5. i got my hair done. and my eyebrows waxed.

9. momma b had her heart fixed!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

IMG_8540

the procedure went well today, they patched up the ASD (aka big hole) in her heart. she is staying the night in the hospital and is in good hands. THANK YOU for all the thoughts, messages and prayers. i couldn’t be happier that the surgery went well and she will just get better and better from here.

10. tomorrow is my birthday.

yay for june 1! i have to work, but will be going out to a new greek restaurant to celebrate later on. i will try to check in.. but chances are i won’t be posting again until thursday.

so on that note.. see you when i am a year older!

Katie May 31, 2011 at 9:39 pm

Yessss! So many good things! First of all, Momma B looks FANTASTIC for being in the hospital, and I’m so grateful her heart is fixed! Second of all, your lunch pail is so YOU, I love that. Finally, that stripped/flowered shirt you are wearing is the best, I want it.

emily May 31, 2011 at 9:43 pm

My day was good because I saw two adorable puppies during a long walk. And also #1 on your list for me too!

Go Momma B! From what I can tell reading Janetha’s blog, you have such a big heart. <3 take care, and glad you all get to celebrate tomorrow, for so many reasons!

tea-bag May 31, 2011 at 9:47 pm

happy (early) birthday! and i’m so glad your mom’s surgery went well!
today was good because i’ve been reconnecting with an old friend. putting the time and effort into relationships is something that is so important and something i tend to neglect. sometimes it takes a kick in the ass to remind us what’s important!
btw – your bangs are awesome!

Avery May 31, 2011 at 9:59 pm

Wow! Looks like I stopped by just in time! 11:59… Happy Birthday!!

Allison @ Food For Healing May 31, 2011 at 10:03 pm

Oo greek! i have only been to a greek restaurant once, and it is no longer here.

I hope you have the best birthday ever!
