On short weekends and being grateful

Wow, this week has been a whirlwind of one thing after another! Is it Monday already? I had to work all day Saturday, and while I’ll appreciate it when my next paycheck gets deposited, I’m really missing my weekend this morning.

For instance, today’s post was supposed to be all about this month’s TriStyle & Co. challenge: vests. In case you were curious, no, there will be no vests in today’s post. And why? Because life happened. Work life, married life, House of Cards life (because we still haven’t finished season three!) But it’s not the biggest deal in the world, and I’m excited to see what next month will bring for that little community.

Instead of worrying about everything that I didn’t get to do over the weekend, I’ve decided to jump start the day with a little positivity. So here are three things that I am grateful for today:

• the gorgeous ebook reader case that’s on its way from Kancha, thanks to a giveaway that I won over at Beth’s blog
• a thoughtful husband who jumped out of his car at a stop sign to give me the sunglasses that I’d left there yesterday
• a really, really exciting, huge development for our household that I’m not going to share on here just yet for fear of jinxing it!

I hope you all have a great Monday full of little surprises and the best kind of people. (And to make up for the lack of a post today, here’s a cute cat photo… because we all know that’s why you really read my blog!)

What are you grateful for on this lovely Monday morning?
