Three Things...Gratitude Thread

[WDWEPCOT]

My boss provides lunch daily - free lunch every work day is nice !!! Granted it’s like ordering pizza with 10 people every day picking a place and obtaining the food but it’s still free lunch every work day !!! Plus you can eat or drink ( non alcoholic) anything in the house and he’s got everything like way too much stuff to snack on

Previous jobs I enjoyed our Friday long lunches - they were so much fun often lasting several hours !!

Sunday Brunches - nothing better than a great brunch on the weekends !!! Best one so far I found was at Disney of course !!! But a local restaurant used to offer a nice brunch on the weekends it was a nice treat!!!

Good Sunday Morning!

Yesterday I did R items instead of T - I don’t know how I read R. I guess my coffee didn’t kick in yet - LOL!

#1 - Wraps - I enjoy making myself a wrap with either tuna or turkey. I don’t do this every day, but when I do, i thoroughly enjoy it

#2 - No Sugar Added Applesauce - This is my sweet treat after my sandwich or wrap. I miss it very much when I run out before grocery day.

#3 - Peanut Butter - One of my most favorite foods on the planet. When I’m in a hurry, I spread it on a piece of bread and sometimes I may slice a banana and put it on top. Sometimes, if I’m in a BIG hurry I’ll just scoop some out of the jar and eat it to tide me over. I can’t express how much I love peanut butter.

Who hasn’t done that ? I know I have

So how do you do with the trivia and what do you consider the number 1 Disney trivia question

I do terrible at the trivia, lol, I just enjoy playing it anyway. The favorite one I did this past trip was actually the 90s music trivia, not anything to do with Disney. I also did Disney tunes trivia, and Disney sidekicks trivia.

Dad and I are so very blessed to join together with God daily for lunch and a visit. God willing within the next few weeks we will dine together at home.

Dad and I enjoy sharing at lunchtime at home Campbell's Chicken broth. A simple, warm, and tasty way to have an extra time of Communion with God and each other.

On Friday night, I surprised two special friends with insulated lunch bags. God has graced my life with both of these kind ladies.

Weekday lunch menus- Kudos to all of the restaurants that offer a lunch menu. It usually means lower prices. The portions may be a bit smaller but still generous enough to satisfy.

First meal of the day- I know experts say skipping breakfast is unwise but it’s just never worked for me. Even when I am good about what I eat, breakfast makes me feel sluggish and can derail the rest of my day. So lunch is usually my first meal. I’m still very mindful about what I consume these days but I’ve had much better success and results going this route.

Tuna sub- back in grade school in my home town, there was usually one day each week where cold subs were on the menu. I don’t know what they put in it, but the tuna salad sub was ridiculously delicious. I have never been able to duplicate it.

I’m with you - I rarely eat breakfast I have to be up for several hours before I can eat any food and if I do eat a breakfast it’s a brunch which is usually around noon so you might as well call a lunch now I do like breakfast foods don’t get me wrong I just can’t eat them in the morning the best I can do and again I have to be up for a while as a danish or a doughnut some toast maybe dry cereal pie cake cookies those are OK but again I gotta be up a while and I can’t smell somebody else eating breakfast it doesn’t work well for me either been that way my whole life it was brutal when the kids were young having to feed them first thing in the morning I still don’t know how people do that all I want is my coffee and lots of it

Today's Topic (Mon, 4/14) - 3 blue things you're grateful for

 

[WDWEPCOT]

Oceans - so we can slap a cruise ship on it so I can go to a beach so I can sit on the beach and look at the beautiful ocean
So I can drive a chair down to the ocean and sit there and dig in the sand and look for seashells I can’t swim so I’m not gonna be swimming in it but I can at least go sit in it and then I look for the tiniest seashells I can find while enjoying a beverage of the alcoholic nature

Mountains - I really enjoyed seeing the mountains in Alaska I thought they were the most beautiful things I have ever seen I would like to go to Europe and see their mountains hopefully someday I’ll be able to do that but until then I’m sticking with Alaska granted I have seen the mountains in Norway and I’m sorry to say Norway you lose Alaska wins ymmv

Blue Jeans I don’t know what it is about these things but my mother hated them and then we were only allowed to wear them after school to play really up until middle school and then I got a babysitting job and then I could buy my own blue jeans no more Kmart blue jeans for me I bought Levi’s and that’s pretty much been the only brand I’ve ever bought since and she still had strict rules on wearing blue jeans woman just hated the things I think finally by high school for the most part I think she gave up on all those rules except for church you could not wear those to church which I kinda agree with that but I really love blue jeans I wear them all winter once it’s too cold to wear leggings now if I ever get some of those fleece lined leggings I may wear those instead of blue jeans

Lapis - One of the prettiest blue stones there is.

Headphones - About 9 years ago, DH bought me a nice pair of metallic blue noise canceling headphones. They are pretty beat up at this point, so I don't wear them out of the house, but they are perfect for home gym workouts and their sound is still better than anything newer and more presentable that I own.

Current phone - The one I have right now is blue. I got it back in June and have been pretty happy with it so far. Hopefully, I haven't jinxed it!

God's blue skies and oceans are so vast and majestic as is our blue planet, Earth.

Blue jeans for sure dear WDWEPCOT. They are a normal life "bottom" for me and dad also to wear.

Dad isn't all that thrilled by the Dodgers--Boys in Blue--right now but he does enjoy watching a part of each game for which I'm grateful.

Lunches:
Love my monthly lunches with my old school’s retired group. (I always order a caprese salad)
I have added a small piece of dark chocolate to my lunches for dessert. I love looking forward to that.
When my DD was in elementary school, I really loved winter and spring breaks when I didn’t have to make her lunch every day!

Blue:
I think I’ve said this before, but Joni Mitchell’s album, Blue
Blue skies
All the varieties of blue, navy, powder blue, royal blue, etc. That’s why it’s my favorite color!
My favorite is the dark blue on the castle, which is the reason for my screen name.

Well.... it's Monday... time to water the forest and wouldn't you know...the metal handle is BLUE and the large zucchini water filter attachment to the faucet is BLUE and. our water is the far extreme of the Colorado River... left overs from gouging the North and though treated it is undrinkable .....so BLUE are the commercial rooftop structure of s the gas station like pure water dispenser

 

[Grand Koalafornian]

Blue (my favorite color!):

1. Azurite, it's just pretty
2. the ocean, especially the really blue and/or really warm water
3. I'm gonna be weird and say that gross blue color of mold on spoiled food that tells you "do not eat!" and keeps people from getting sick.

Today's Topic (Tues, 4/15) - 3 pink things you're grateful for

 

[WDWEPCOT]

Pink Roses so pretty
Truthfully the first thing I thought of was Pepto-Bismol when you’re sick you’re really grateful for that stuff and you can give it to your pet because I used to have to give it to one of my dogs
And then I thought of penicillin I am not grateful for that in a liquid form so I’m not gonna say I’m grateful for that because that stuff tastes nasty but I thought of it I’m grateful for medication just not for in a liquid form
But I do like the color of soft pink like soft pink fluffy clouds I think they look really cool
And I needed a soft pink sweater last year I was very grateful when I found one!! It matches several summer dresses I have that I wear on a cruise to dinner in the dining room is always a bit chilly for me and I needed a soft pink sweater !!
