Hey everyone – HAPPY THURSDAY! I don’t think I’ve ever been more excited for a Thursday! Haha – I can finally watch the Bachelor tonight! And relax… Anyway, on to this week’s Thursday Thoughts!
1. So last night was the New Balance Fresh Foam launch party, and I was pleasantly surprised! There was a HUGE turnout, great stuff, and everyone there seemed to be having a great time. I’ll definitely blog more about it, along with my final review of their shoes, next week.
2. I was contacted by a rep with Fifth Third Bank and wanted to pass along their message since it sounded like a good cause:
With the just-launched “Pay to the Order of” campaign, Fifth Third Bank gives $150 to new customers who open a new checking account and donates $150 to Stand Up To Cancer (SU2C).
Anyone can help spread awareness of the campaign by uploading a photo using #PayToTheOrderOf. In addition, Fifth Third will donate $1 to Stand Up To Cancer for each eligible use of the hashtag #PayToTheOrderOf on Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, or Vine. Click here for full terms and conditions.
3. I found this article yesterday: What Your Online Dating Service Says About Your Real-Life Style and thought it was hilarious and pretty accurate. Yes, I’ve had my share of online dating sites, so this was pretty funny.
4. Monday before Bible Study I headed over to visit with Miss Molly. My brother was out of town and my sister in law had to work late that night, so I went over to give her dinner and take her outside. Shockingly (sarcasm) she smothered me right at the front door and we ended up on the floor like this:
5. So on Monday evening I accidentally left my phone at someone’s house while I was there for Bible Study… I couldn’t pick it up again until after 9pm Tuesday night because my day was so packed. I never realized how much I depended on my phone! My biggest dilemma? Having an alarm to wake me up!
6. So yesterday I mentioned that I have a temp job, and well, I cannot get over the view from my desk. The only word for it is “baller,” and that’s not a word I typically use in my daily life. But I just had to. I can’t stop staring out the window.
7. Question for you all: is it harder to comment on my blog for some reason? Or am I doing something wrong? Because this week I’ve gotten considerably fewer comments than normal on all my posts and it just seemed weird?..
8. I saw this pin when I was putting together this post last night and I thought it was so perfect. It’s easy for us to complain about what we don’t have, but we would be so much happier remembering to be thankful for all the blessings we do have!
What do you see when you look out from your desk?
Who gives you the best greeting when you see them?
How would you deal with not having your phone for 24 hours?
Hm I don’t comment on your blog nearly enough (I read it pretty much every day lol), but it seems fine 🙂
I was working in downtown Pittsburgh in the fall & the view from my floor was one of my favorite things.
Haha okay, I was worried something was wrong with the commenting box! And I bet Pittsburgh is gorgeous in the Fall!
now that is what we call an office with a view!! super jealous 😉
love it!
I still comment, but honestly, I do eventually stop commenting on the bloggers who don’t respond back to anyone. I feel like I am bothering them or that they don’t really want to hear what I have to say or want to help with questions or that they are tired of me. I love your blog, though. And read it everyday!
Thanks, Beth, that’s sweet! And it’s always my goal to respond to every single comment by the weekend!
Beautiful view!! I don’t know if I would get much work done if I had a view like that.
Haha I do a lot of staring into the distance
Don’t see anything wrong with the comments.
Hunter gives me the best greeting when I see him! I always get a HUGE smile – it’s the best. 🙂
Awww I bet he’s fantastic to come home to!
I’ve been reading your blog in Bloglovin’ on my iPad, and it’s a pain to comment because I have to open a new window, and then I have to use the touch screen to type. So, I’m still here reading, just being lazy about the commenting :)!
lol I read on my phone on bloglovin, I know what you mean!
SWEEET view!!!! That is killer awesome.
Foam pit?!? Yes. please.
haha the foam pit was great!
That’s am amazing view to have at work. Unfortunately I’m not sure how much work I would get done.
I haven’t had any problems posting comments on your blog.
Haha I only stare off into space every once in a while!
Wow! Your view is amazing, mine’s a concrete building across the way. There used to be a tree, but it was cut down because the roots were too shallow to be safe. Sad face. The foam party looks fun! Also, I’ve had no trouble commenting, yours is one of the few blogs I comment on regularly, because it’s one of the first ones I check and I sometimes run out of commenting steam.
Awww poor tree!
I left my phone at church on Sunday and had the same thought as you – how am I going to set an alarm to wake up in the morning? lol, that was my biggest concern. Thankfully, I was able to pick it up at night and set my alarm for Monday 🙂
Oh good, I’m glad you got it back in time!
Wow, you’re right, you do have a baller view from your desk! I bet it makes work so much more enjoyable.
It does! Although I wish I had more people around me – I sit alone in my section of cubes!
