30 Days of Thanks – Day #30

November 30, 2012

I might as well jump on the bandwagon for the last day of 30 Days of Thanks. Like Nick and BRK, I am thankful for Curtis.

First and foremost, he has a holey shirt.

Second, we have a newly formed sense of camaraderie now that our spouses are both CrossFitters. In fact, this post may have been written on Wednesday, but I have a feeling by the time it goes live, we will have already exchanged a few eyerolly glances due to the amount of times CrossFit has been mentioned.


This has been a fun 30 days. Thanks to everyone who humored me by participating! Start saving up your ideas for next year. ♥

30 Days of Thanks – Day #29

November 29, 2012

Vacations! I am thankful for them. Today I am experiencing the second crappiest part of vacation: plane hopping to arrive at my destination. What’s the crappiest part you ask? Plane hopping to arrive home.

It’s all worth it though.

30 Days of Thanks – Day #28

November 28, 2012

Although I’ve OD’d on Jimmy Johns more times than I care to admit, I will forever be thankful for their freaky fast deliveries.

I forgot my lunch today because all my head can seem to think about is my upcoming vacation. I was busy at work and didn’t want to take the time to pick up lunch. That and it was cold outside! I can’t be going out in this inclement weather. My delivery options were limited: pizza, pizza, more pizza, Chinese, pizza, or Jimmy Johns.

I think you can figure out why I OD on it.

Now, I don’t know if you have ever ordered Jimmy Johns online, but there’s a place where you can add a name to your sandwich. I’m sure it comes in handy when you’re placing an order for multiple people. Sometimes I like to put random things in this box. Once I entered “I’m starving.” What came written on the sandwich was “not anymore.” See? These JJ peeps get my sense of humor!

Today I named my sandwich “omnomnom.”

30 Days of Thanks – Day #27

November 27, 2012

So he doesn’t think I put him off until the last minute, I’m thankful for Nick. There are many reasons, but I’ll just touch on a few.

Nick does nice stuff for me (most of the time with minimal bitching) like rub my feet. He also does the pain in the ass stuff I don’t want to do, like clean the gutters. I try not to ask him to do too much, but when I do, he usually says yes.

I remember one time when he said no, and it changed my life forever.

Once upon a time we I had a short-lived wedding website. It was my first taste of WordPress. It was foreign and confusing and Nick was like DON’T MESS IT UP! About a year or so later, Jillapalooza was born. I remember wanting to change something on the site, though I don’t recall what it was. I asked Nick to change it. He basically said, do it yourself, Google html, and DON’T MESS IT UP!

I did what he said and never looked back.

Though I’m no web designer by any means, I learned a lot over the course of the following 5 1/2 years. I’ve helped numerous friends set up and customize their own self-hosted WordPress blogs (including Nick).

So thank you, Nick. I’m grateful for that one time you said no (none of the others though). Whether you did it for my own good or because you didn’t know the answer, I’ll never know. ♥ ♥ ♥

30 Days of Thanks – Day #26

November 26, 2012

There have been a lot of technological advances in audio over my short period of existence. Cassettes, CDs, MiniDiscs (omg what a joke those turned out to be), and MP3s. I can’t imagine where we go from here as far as music formats, but I can say that whoever came up with Bluetooth audio is pure genius.

I have a fancy pants radio in my car. At first I didn’t care about Bluetooth technology. I thought it was just for hands free talking, and anyone who knows me at all knows I despise talking on the phone. But then I discovered that I can listen to whatever’s on my phone through the speakers of my car.

BAM.

My life was changed forever.

Now audiobooks and podcasts are a staple of my vehicle listening entertainment without having to remember to take my iPod out of the car so I can hook it up to my computer and transfer new content. Likewise, I can be lazy loading recently purchased music onto my iPod because it’s automatically on my phone. And it works great for those times I forget to put my iPod back in my car.

Now if they could just make an iPhone with the GB capacity of my iPod Classic, the world would be grand.
