Good grief, I seem to be seriously lagging on my Gratitude list for the past day or so. I'm behind a day, so tonight I will combine last night's list with the list for tonight. That way, come tomorrow night, I'll be back on track. Guess I've had a busy weekend. It happens.
Today has been a wonderfully relaxing Sunday for Jon and I. We spent some time this morning sitting at our respective computers reading and surfing. Me on Pinterest and Jon on...well, where ever it is he goes when he's online. More than likely, Reddit. Although, I have to admit, I do spend time there, too. They have knitting, crochet and sewing sub-reddits that are tons of fun. You get to see other peoples' projects and visit new and fun blogs. So...there's that.
We didn't actually leave the house until around noon. At that time, we met some friends for Pho in Santa Clara. I haven't had it in a long time, and it was YUMMY! I really need a recipe for it. I have heard it takes all day to make. Which is perfectly okay me. Because it's totally worth it for delicious soup.
After lunch, we headed out for a little shopping. We looked for a gift for Jon's brother and sister, then headed over to R.E.I. to look for some winter-type clothes for Jon and I. I came out with a pair of pants and a cute knit skirt. Jon found nothing. That's the problem with being 6'6". Things are either long enough in the arms and huge in the torso. Or they fit in the torso but they're super short in the arms. So, I think we're just going to need to start doing our shopping for him online. Does anyone have any suggestions of where to shop for super tall, slim men? Anyone? Please?
So, even though our shopping adventure didn't pan out completely, we still had a nice time. The day in total, was a huge success. We relaxed. It was needed. Now we feel ready to tackle this up-coming week. I have lots of presents to wrap, and a house to decorate -- not mine though, my mom's. And Jon will be busy at work, as always.
Now, on to my list:
* Having my mom over here for most of the day yesterday. It was nice spending the day with her. We even got into my sewing room for a while and did some crafting. Until I needed a nap, anyway!
* Actually being able to nap yesterday afternoon. Sleeping during the day has become nearly impossible for me lately. I'll doze, a tiny bit, but very rarely will I actually sleep. It can be quite frustrating.
* Dinner with my parents last night. It was fun. My mom and I had crab -- of course! -- and the men had steaks. Jon doesn't care for sea-food -- which is nearly a deal breaker -- and my dad is allergic to shellfish. So, all the more crab for mom and me! Yay!
* A wonderfully relaxing Sunday with my husband. We should make this a mandatory way of spending at least one day every weekend.
* A wonderfully patient brother-in-law. Thank you so much for understanding my silliness with the password! Totally figures I finally got it.
Alright...that's it 'til tomorrow night.
Happy, Relaxing Sunday,

Yum, I haven't had good Pho in a long time! There's only one good place here that I've found, and it's in Athens, and I never seem to be in the mood for soup when I'm at school. So it's my own fault, I guess?
