I am thankful / glad it is the weekend. never before have DH and I wanted a weekend sooooo badly! he is just plain exhausted, worn out, cranky. This week has been rough on him, with on-call, 2 dept dinners, a presentation, and trying to get in studying. We'll just be hanging out low-key this weekend. and we can't wait!
I am thankful that my general mood and sleeping "habits" have improved. I am enjoying life (again) and finding that I don't need naps and I am able to go to sleep easily at night! phew!
I am thankful the weather is going to be a bit warmer come next week, nothing like 60-70s in November!
I'm excited for my birthday, in exactly 13 days (hehe, if you need my address to send me greetings...you know how to contact me LOL)
so, there are some thoughts from today, what are you thinking??? hmmm...

angry?
Did I make my ohio blog readers angry after yesterdays Not Me post about the buckeye loss......and if you're one of them, please leave some love, leave some hate, just leave something in my comment section so I know you'll still be a reader!
I find fiendish glee in cheering the bucks to a loss.....but it's all in fun! Yes, the life of Ohio residents revolves around the highs (and lows) of this team, but give a girl a break! I'm not a true fan to any one team....I spread my love around (cheering for the gophers and badgers when they are up, and cheering for the bucks when it is a "big" game!) Plus, I do find amusement in the many, many excuses fans give when they lose and also nothing but satisfaction when they win. (except when it's close, then it's a mix of excuses and satisfaction [or maybe relief!])
So, nothing personal to my ohio buddies, I just don't have the passion for that one team like you all do. :)

Not me Monday!
I am not happy the OSU Buckeyes lost and the MN gophers won. I am not waiting [anxiously] for my co-worker to give me his 1,000th excuse for why they lost. I just love it when I get to hear all these reasons, even from many seasons past. I was not happy to hear that the bucks won't even make the championship game this year! Fans are still holding out for the rose bowl, and I am not, most certainly not, hoping that the buckeyes don't even make it to that!
I did not wake up with a cold this morning, a stuffed up, itchy cold. I did not want to stay in bed, roll over, and cuddle with my puppy. He was not the cutest sleepy puppy ever, this morning and every other morning too! He did not go right into his crate this morning after his walk and sulk in there because mommy was leaving....nope, he nevers behaves that well!
DH was not on call this weekend, he has not been at the hospital since 0600 Friday morning, and he will not still be doing hospital stuff til late this evening. He is never, ever gone from home that long! And he never goes without sleep for that long either! He also never gets annoyed at "dumb" consults and never complains about his "pager going off just as he's going to sleep." Never!
I did not get a pumpkin shake from McDonald's today and then I did not complain about it not being as good as DQ Pumpkin Blizzard. In fact, I don't even like pumpkin flavored things, and especially wouldn't like icecream with it! not!
Check out MCKMAMA's not me: 
What did you NOT do!?!

contradiction
I find this funny, well, funny may not be the right word, but that's what I'm going to call it.
So, Starbucks gives "fiber sleeves" to keep the hotness of your oh-so-delicious beverage away from your hands. It has a "caution:very hot" label, and boxes where they are *supposed to check off your drink choice (mine was the salted caramel hot chocolate. highly recommended! oh, and no boxes were marked, but they still got it right. remember: its delicious) (and by the way, what is the lady in the starbucks logo supposed to represent?)
Anyways back to the *funny, yet not sure if it is part, I was reading my sleeve, as I do with every hot beverage I drink (you just never know what will be on there, eh?) Well, starbucks certainly caught my attention with this:
"Starbucks is committed to reducing our environmental impact through increased use of post-consumer recycled materials. help us help the planet."
then the stats: "First-ever 10% (woah) post-consumer fiber cup. 60% (that's more like it) post-consumer fiber sleeve"
So, I'm thinking "that's cool, I'm all for the 3 Rs...reduce, reuse, recycle"
But in the smallest print of the whole sleeve it says.....
"intended for single use only"
Guess one can't have it the best of all ways: using a recycled product and reusing that product to reduce the future post-consumer efforts?
makes ya think. see, funny isn't the exact word I was going for, but it works.
ps: i am not starbucks bashing, as obviously I am a customer :)
pps: try. the. hot. chocolate.
ppps: this is the thankul banner created by me and members of the swap (I made the L)
