Think Thin and Positive!

My prize came today.  A few weeks ago we entered a contest on one of the blogs we read.  I'm thankful they picked my entry as a winner.  What a nice surprise for Linda to to come home to.  Yay!! for some new energy bars to try.  Since they are not dog friendly, Linda will have to review them. 

Tonight at church, Tierney told Linda to quit complaining about her kitchen.  She chided her for not being thankful for having a kitchen, and actually teased her for getting so upset about it.  Lots of their church family in Africa cook over an open fire outside. Even though all three people who have seen it said it looks bad and even said the counter looked bad (Which she kind of thought looked OK), she is starting over fresh.   Linda is not going to focus on any of those bad feelings anymore.  Thank you Tierney for setting her straight and telling it like it is.  If people don't like it, they don't have to come to our house, right?  So far, she loves the paint color on the walls, loves her wood floor, loves the new hanging ivy light and can't wait for the carpet to come.  ONLY LOVE from now on.  NO NEGATIVENESS. Tomorrow before Noah comes, she is going to try her hand at painting the bathroom.  Stay tuned for lots of photos.  They are going to be wonderful.  (And Linda is taking Noah to Chuckee Cheese for lunch.  You won't want to  miss those photos.)
