Favorite Things Thursday

I didn't get to post yesterday. Honestly? Because I was just frustrated with so many things - most of them having to do with the computer. It's hard to write about your favorite things when you are frustrated. BUT today is a new day and aside from my broken tooth throbbing in my head, I'm ok today! So, here is my favorite thing for yesterday!

I have made a new discovery this past week - with the help of one of my coolest friends, Maleah! :) I decided on Friday to gather up all the change in my desk drawer. Now, I have a place in my desk where I just throw change for drinks or whatever, just for me. Then I also have zip-loc bags of change where the kids have purchased drinks from me on Friday. I then use that change to go buy more drinks for the next week - well, I'm supposed to. It was always just a hassle to get all that change together so I usually just paid for the drinks myself and let the change wallow around in the bottom of my drawer. Well, I got tired of looking at it so, on our way to Mars Hill for game night last Friday, Maleah and I stopped at the Credit Union and used the fun new Fat Cat Coin Counter. You'll never believe how much money I had in my DESK DRAWERS! $73.00!!!! Can you believe it?!!! This inspired me, so I went home and threw the money from my change jar into a bag. On Monday, I went back to the change machine. I really thought I didn't have as much change this time because instead of all the quarters from my desk drawer, I also had TONS of pennies and nickels. But Surprise, Surprise!! $158.00 later I was a very happy person!!! WoooooHoooo. I can't decide if I just like having a little extra money or if using the machine is just fun! Either way, it was a good time.

You know what else is a good time? Blogging with your best friends. I tell ya, this is what keeps me going, girls. I love learning more about you and exchanging comments. I spend too much time checking for comments on my blog and on yours!! But if you have to have an addiction, this is a relatively healthy one! It makes me laugh that I can see Sabrina everyday and still learn stuff by reading her blog. It also makes me laugh that we are sitting 3 feet from each other when we comment on each other's blog! Sarai and I can talk ALMOST everyday and still leave messages for each other! Too funny! Brooke and I are AIM sisters. We can be chatting WHILE we are posting a new entry and still learn something! I see Maleah at least once a week, usually twice or more, and still have a blast reading and posting comments on her blog, or seeing what she posts on mine. So, aside from blogging, I guess another of my favorite things is having you 4 girls as my closest friends - friends that I can depend on, laugh with, grow with! I love you guys!
