thursday five

You must have five things that have been...

Fun

Amazing

Relaxing

Fabulous

Interesting

1. In case you haven't noticed yet, I have a fun new blog template!  I'm still trying to work out all the bugs (um, why aren't my pages aren't coming in full?  and how do I get rid of the abbreviated posts with the Read More link??  Sorry about that!)  But isn't it cute?  Just wish that was a cat  drawing instead of a dog.  Well, it was free, so I'll take it!  If you have any advanced blogging advice, please share as I spent all of last night digging around the internet for answers.

2. The Blue Angels are consistently amazing.  This week has been the Centennial of Naval Aviation celebration here, and I went to watch them do an airshow over the water yesterday.  Even though I hear them over our house every week, it never gets old!  Also amazing is the package I got for winning Britt Dill's giveaway!  It was a lot of cool wooden Americana signs that will hang proudly in our apartment.  Thank you Britt!

3. Ever since my crazy 5k/concert weekend, I've been relaxing. I haven't worked out since Saturday, and I need to get on that!

4. I think this new-ish YouTuber is hilarious and fabulous!  Her name is Hannah, and I wanna be her friend.  Here is My Drunk Kitchen (profanity warning!!):




5. B's birthday is this weekend and he wants to go kayaking.  I'm excited because it's on my 101 List, but it will be my first time in a boat since the sailing incident.  I'm thinking this might get interesting in a bad way again.  But hopefully I won't freak out!

 

thursday 5

I don't usually participate in this one (have you noticed my lack of consistency in pretty much everything?), but I think it will help sum up my feelings today. So here are things that make me feel . . .

Giddy

Jubilant

Ecstatic

Thankful

Giggly

I'm Giddy because I emailed out ONE résumé this morning for a part-time but still career-ish position with the base newspaper, and I ALREADY got called back for an interview!  I felt very drawn to apply for this one, even though I thought I would never want to work at a desk job again.  It sounds like a win-win, but we shall see Monday morning at 10am.

I'm Jubilant that I found my keys after looking for them for an HOUR.

I'm Ecstatic that "The Big Bang Theory" is back on tonight.  And B is on a 'business' trip, so no one is gonna fight me for the remote!

I'm Thankful for all the people who have given me bloggy "awards."  I would hazard to say that I'm not playing very nicely along with other bloggers, since I never re-post and pass them on.  However, it's my blog, and I pick my own content, and it's usually not what I want to blog about.

What I WILL do today, though, is say thanks to these bloggy friends:

  Many Waters 

Tales From a Sailor's Soul Mate

Raising Roscoe

Flip Flops and Combat Boots

The Young Retiree

You should definitely go over to their pages and go check them out!

I'm Giggly because I got free museum tickets for Saturday!  And you should too!  Check out what's free in your area for Museum Day at http://microsite.smithsonianmag.com/museumday/  (Consider this my first giveaway!)  B doesn't know it yet, but we'll be spending Saturday at the Pensacola Historical Museum.  It's sure to be a hoot and a holler, all for less than a dollar!  (And if my ridiculously Southern turn of phrase didn't make you Giggly as well, you may need to re-evaluate your life.)
