Thankful Thursday May 1, 2014

Hello Friends and Happy Thankful Thursday!

This week started off great, on Monday hubby received the best news since his cancer diagnosis and surgery – NO CHEMO!!! I am thankful that he doesn’t have to go through that procedure although he will need to be monitored and tested every 3-4 months. I am also thankful to all of you for your thoughts and prayers during this time!

I am thankful to have had another DIY article published in the Parade Magazine, the first one was the “Storm Survival Kit“. If you haven’t had a chance to read it click here and I would appreciate it if you made a comment on their website as well.

I am also thankful for winning a Giveaway sponsored by Me and My Mini Me, a JunoPower External Battery and this little guy is awesome! A few weeks ago I attended an event after work and about an hour into the program the battery on my Samsung G4 mobile phone died!

Don’t you feel disconnected from the rest of the world when that happens? I wish I had had the JunoPower at the time because it would have charged my phone in less than an hour allowing me to post more pics on my Instagram page (aah the life of a blogger)!

The Juno Power Battery has two USB ports so that it can charge two devices at the same time, and it can be either an Apple or Android product.

The best thing about the Juno Power is that it holds a charge so you don’t need to keep it plugged in when not in use, and if you forget to turn it off it will go into a sleep mode and power down. It comes with a USB cord which you can plug into a charger/outlet for recharging and the LCD screen shows the percentage of battery life remaining.

The Juno Power Hue Battery comes in an assortment of metallic colors, I chose pink (I wonder why), and it will stay in my purse away from my son Malik the electronics guru!

Okay, it’s your turn, what are you thankful for this week?

Stay Blessed – No Stress in 2014!

My Birthday Day in Review September 27, 2013

Hello Friends and Happy Fri-Yay!

Last Friday I was blessed to have celebrated my 52nd birthday. I want to thank each and everyone of you for your birthday wishes, greetings and blog shout-outs, it touched my heart and I truly appreciated it.

It wasn’t too long ago that I would start my birthday day with a scheduled appointment for a mani/pedi, a spa treatment, out for a nice lunch then ending it with a shopping spree at the Mall. This year I started my birthday day with a scheduled doctor appointments/medical tests, a bagel and latte at a local cafe, a sidewalk sale then a meeting with my son’s case manager. It’s amazing how my priorities changed as I got older.

One thing that never changes is the excitement of getting Birthday cards sent via USPS – I still love getting cards in the mail. I received a few from family and friends…

…but this was my favorite one from #1 son…definitely a keeper!

I went to Whereabouts Cafe for breakfast and ordered an Oregon Chai Latte with an Egg Bagel and a Lox Spread.

Rugged Wearhouse was having their annual Sidewalk Sale and everything on the outside tables was $1.00. I couldn’t resist picking up a few pieces of costume jewelry, spending a whooping $7.00, how my priorities have changed!

When son #2 arrived home from school he and I went in town to Verizon Wireless where he helped me choose a new Smartphone. No, it wasn’t the Apple iPhone 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 a b c or d, instead I upgraded to the Samsung Galaxy S4 which I love – older eyes need bigger phones!

Before heading home, I stopped in at Cochran Liquors where they were hosting a taste testing for Bacardi’s new Light Strawberry Daiquiris. With the first sip my mind was immediately transported back to an island in the Caribbean, it was a wonderful mini mental vacation. (BTW my son was driving). I decided to purchase a bottle of Bacardi Light Pina Colada to toast my 52nd birthday.

Later that evening hubby came home with a beautiful white floral arrangement containing Roses, Carnations, Lilys, Daisys and Baby Breaths. This made for a perfect ending to perfectly blessed birthday day.
