Three Things...Gratitude Thread

[WDWEPCOT]

Coke - has to Coke only not any other brand

Coffee - it’s like air I have to have it every day and you can say well you don’t have to I’m gonna sit there and say you don’t wanna deal with me if I don’t trust me when I say this I actually have an auto immune disease I’m not supposed to be drinking coffee in upon occasion I have to stop drinking it because it bothers my autoimmune disease and I’m telling you now you don’t wanna be around me for about seven days I can’t drink coffee I have to take Excedrin so I can get my caffeine fixed but I’m telling you now you do not want to be around me you’ve never seen somebody more crabby than me when I can’t have my coffee because remember I took the Excedrin to get the caffeine I’m just mad I can’t have the coffee I love the taste of coffee

Grapefruit Juice - if you don’t have it and I’m really desperate for it I will drink an offbrand but not not too often I really like the ruby red grapefruit juice it’s just so refreshing it’s about one of the only juices I truly enjoy again refer back to that auto immune disease I’m not supposed to be drinking juice either this one doesn’t bother me too much so I do drink it and it pairs really well tequila it happens to make one of my most favorite alcoholic drink drinks so it’s a win-win

TGIF Friends

I have very little beverages in my everyday life, so this is easy…..

#1 - COFFEE - I’m grateful to have this be my first beverage every day. I set the coffee pot every night to brew at 4:30am, so it’s ready when my feet hit the floor.

#2 - WATER - I’m grateful for plain ol boring tap water. Luckily, we have Lake Michigan water, so it tastes better than other tap waters. I do have bottled water here, but I only use that when I want to throw a bottle in my purse to take with me somewhere.

#3 - MILK - I’m grateful for this every time I pour it into my bowl of cereal, make my protein drink with it after I workout or just pour a glass to drink with lunch or dinner.

#4 - BONUS - ROOTBEER - I’m grateful for this on Sundays, when I drink it with my pizza. Sometimes in the summer I will also make a brown cow with it.

Water, the best hydration there is

Tea, especially Harney and Sons Hot Cinnamon Sunset tea

Orange juice, a special treat due to sugar content and high prices

 

[TiggerTrigger]

Carbonated flavored water- Hydration, a hint of flavor and carbonation to help me feel full.

Diet Dr Pepper- My soda and caffeine of choice.

Water additives- It’s rare for me to drink straight water, but I often add Crystal Light (caffeinated lemonade my #1), store brand versions of Mio (guava with vitamins or berry blast caffeinated), and liquid IV if I need some hydration boosts.

Honorable mention- pickle juice! This is my long distance and race go to if I need an electrolyte shot around 8-10 miles.

[WLWildlife]

Another vote for plain water- straight from the well. Love the flavor.

Sun tea and hot tea. Citrus Sunrise is my favorite.

Fresh pressed homemade Apple Cider! We made it every year when I was a kid from a press that my dad made. Delicious!

Fresh brewed coffee. I can't stand coffee, it is so bitter, but I love the smell of it! It reminds me of both of my Grandmas. I miss them.

Happy Saturday

Ugghhh….I just booked my LLs for our trip. It’s like playing the game of Perfection because you have only 5 minutes to make your selections. I’ve been collecting my LL data for the last 3 days and I’m feeling pretty good about my selections. I’m glad that’s done and over with. We decided on no MPLL for EPCOT because the ride times aren’t that bad right now - I hope this decision doesn’t bite us in the butt.

On to the topic……

I’m grateful for our Lightning
L - Love - I’m grateful for the love I give others and the love i receive from others.
A - ATTITUDE - I’m very grateful that 95% of the time I have a positive attitude
N - NAVIGATION APP - I’ll be highly grateful for this in 7 days when we get our rental car
E - ELLIPTICAL - Grateful for the awesome one in my basement that I’ll be using in 10 min
S - SAM’S CLUB - I’m grateful for the savings I get from there, which reminds me that I need to place an order soon.

Today has a lot of celebratory topics, so take your pick:





Today's Topics (Sun, 5/10) - Moms/mother-like figures, Washington state as a home or vacation spot, or shrimp/seafood

 

[flyingdumbo127]

My beloved late Grandma will always be Mom to me. She had a feisty, take charge spirit, and a fiercely loyal friend. How blessed I am God trusted me to love and be loved by her and my Grandpa who also meant the world to me.

Dad and I years ago enjoyed a trip to Washington State.

Memories God-willing of trips to come both simply to the mailbox and church to Disneyland and other places to come in all good health with normal walking mobility and my beloved Dad.
