Productive Monday and a "Retro Lunch"

Today has gotten off to a pretty good start (mostly because I vowed to myself that I was going to change my outlook today!!)

Although it took me about 45 minutes to get to work this morning because of the light snow/icy roads (my usual commute is only 15 minutes) I made it to work safe and sound and not a scratch on me! (I said a prayer as I got on the freeway)

As time got closer to lunch, I decided that I was going to procrastinate no longer and FINALLY return my seriously-past-due library books (my online account says "Patron has outstanding fines block" - uh oh!!) AND mail the DVD for my www.swapadvd.com account. (which was late too!)

I'm feeling energized today, it's a new week, a new beginning... no one can stop me but me!

with that said, I'd like to make sure to get a load of laundry in tonight, tidy up the apartment, make something good for dinner (other than the usual fried-egg-bologna-and-cheese sandwiches, :) I'm thinking maybe spaghetti & garlic toast (easy and quick to make) Then make sure to spend lots of quality time with Andy, instead of being completely stressed out....

Oh, and about the "Retro Lunch"... at lunch time today before I stopped at the post office and the library, I stopped home real quick to check the mail and ran upstairs to make myself a lunch to bring back to work- a classic bologna & cheese samich on white bread with yellow mustard, a little bag of lay's potato chips, and a homemade (by me, this weekend!) chocolate chip cookie. Yum!! I ate my retro lunch (retro to me, because this was a typical lunch I would have as a kid in elementary school) when I got back to my desk at work and washed it down with a Faygo Rock & Rye. (it's a Detroit, MI thing!! yum!)

Ok back to work... I'm plugged into a conference call right now on my headset (I feel like Debbie-the-friendly-Time-Life-operator!) and I'm only paying half-attention right now!

I'm thankful that the Lord is working in my heart to make me joyful and appreciative of the big and small wonderful things in life... thank God, because I have felt like I've been laying in the gutter for the past month...
