Brownies anf other stuff...

It's been some time since I've posted here. The theme of this blog is only the good stuff. Sometimes you have to spend some time finding the good stuff so you can set the other stuff aside. Tonight I'm doing a little of that and a little catching up because there really is a lot of good stuff and it piles up just like the other stuff, tonight I remember, I reflect and I smile and thank the Lord above for letting the good stuff shine.

• My Mondays at work are sometimes challenging, this one had a few more challenges than I expected. But that's how some days go! For awhile my Monday night escape has been the TV show, Cake Boss! This is a little bit funny if you know I really don't care much about cake! But this show is about family, about creativity, about life values, kind of one of those "only the good stuff matters" and you can always find the good stuff if you keep looking.
• Right now my favorite recorded go to movie is Hallmark's adaptation of Karen Kingsbury's book The Bridge. The other night Doug came in the living room and took a look at the TV then looked at me and asked how many movies the actress Katie Findlay had made, I gave him an odd look, then I laughed & had to confess I've watched this movie a bunch of times over the past several months! that movie is playing as I type.
• OH! back to the brownies! On Cake Boss tonight part of the episode featured Brownies in the bakery that weren't very good. Well goodness sakes! Brownies need to be moist. & fudgy, so sugar, oil and eggs can't be skimped on! Read a box of Betty Crocker and you'll learn that!
• I was just reading my business notes from last year and realized I did a good job meeting most of my goals except for updating my blogs so I am changing that right now! Writing on this blog makes me feel better about me and I enjoy this so let's see how I act on that after tonight.
• Actions... my 4th grade teacher Miss Gleason was the one how taught me the concept "actions speak louder than words". Miss Gleason was right and I am grateful to her.
• I'm typing tonight on my laptop. My husband has been insisting for a couple years I needed a laptop. So a few months ago I agreed to let him buy me this one. I find myself using it more all the time and liking the convenience and portability.

Bedtime is approaching. I have a plan for tomorrow and the realization that I need to remember I can't always be prepared for all the surprises that may unfold each day but with guidance from above things will turn out ok. Time to wake up my sweet Annie so we can go to bed, we are so blessed to have such a happy dog in our home.

Goodnight Everyone, Hugs to all & may God Bless you always,

Patty
