Thursday's Child...

"Thursday's child has far to go."

Instead of looking at how far I still have to go, this typical Thursday's Child is using Thursdays to stop and appreciate where I've been....and where 

I am at the moment.

I learned that I am a moron sometimes (actually, not a totally new lesson!).  A case in point where I need to slow down and take my own advice.  How fortuitous this happened today...on a Thursday so I could blog about my stupidity!  Never let it be said I don't recognize my flaws, or use them for a photo op.

Yesterday was a pretty bad day all around for me.  Lucky for me I have a pretty thoughtful Better Half who knew I'd be needing some spoiling when I got home at the end of the day.  Yep, I sure know how to pick 'em. Not sure my Better Half can claim the same thing!  Waiting for me upon my arrival was a home cooked meal of parmesan crusted porkchops and risotto (one of his specialties), a bottle of my favorite Cakebread chardonnay, a pint of my favorite Ben & Jerry's Chunky Monkey, and a hug.

What did "I" do?  I plopped on the couch and drank my wine.  I had no appetite and it wasn't until after 11 pm that I remembered the ice cream was in the freezer. Soooo, what the heck...I had a pretty nice mid-night snack.  The Better Half said he completely understood my lack of appetite, but will he understand my expanding hips?

I woke up this morning...Thursday...meandered downstairs and out to my sunroom and what to my wondering eyes should appear?  The most gorgeous bouquet of orange roses!  Geesh! I didn't even make it off the couch last night so I never even saw my Better Half's gift to me.  And he was considerate enough to not bring my faux pas to my attention.

Yep...today is Thursday and I appreciate where I am at the moment. And whom I'm with. So to my Better Half, thank you so much for just letting me be a lump last night. I know that is probably what first attracted you to me, haha!  If I haven't conveyed how much I appreciated it, will a public THANK YOU make up for it??? The roses were lovely and I had your dinner for a leftover lunch today....yum! But DANG!!!  My dessert is all gone.

Happy Thursday!
