Today I'm thankful for...

Starting my last semester of grad school!

My last semester of grad school started tonight. At least I hope it's my last semester. Knowing me, I'll probably find some other grant or scholarship program and decide to go for another one. I just can't stay away from school, no matter how much I complain!

Today I'm thankful for...

Sacrifices!

On this Memorial Day, I am thankful for the sacrifices that all of the men and women who have served, are serving, and will serve our country have made. These brave, wonderful people are the reason that I can write these blog posts. I can't imagine going into a job and knowing that I could be killed at any moment. I'm so very thankful for all who have served and made sacrifices, including those who have sacrificed their lives. Thank you soldiers.

Today I'm thankful for...

Treadmills!

I'm planning to do the Women's Half Marathon again in September, so I started my training program this week. This weekend called for me to do 3 miles, and despite my good intentions to get up and do it at the park or somewhere before it got really hot, my body let me sleep pretty late. Thankfully, I was able to do it on the treadmill, which was only partially as hot as going outside! It does get a little boring, but it's a nice alternative to have on a 90+ degree day!

Today I'm thankful for...

The Bull & Whistle!

Or should I say, I was thankful for it? Unfortunately, according to various reports, they are no more, as of last Saturday. They were an affordable place with good food and good entertainment, like game night (where I got to show the world just how horrible I am at Mario Kart on the Wii). It was a good place to go for lunch, except for once when it was extremely slow, but I'll write that off as a fluke. I'm not sure what happened, but I will miss them.

Today I'm thankful for...

Towels!

Today was National Towel Day or something crazy like that. I love towels. They dry me and things that I spill, and all they ask for in return is a good washing and drying. Towels, I think we have a deal!
