And YAY to having your hot water back - that's a big one and worth at least 10 thankfuls in itself. I agree with the others that this is a most excellent way to format your thankfuls and hope you have a great week this week (our last week was less than ideal as well).

I agree with all of the other commenters that you have way more than 10 (hot water alone is worth 10) and that this is an excellent choice for showcasing your thankful. Here's a a great week this week (ours was less than ideal last week as well).

This is the second replacement we have had in 9 years...the first was under warranty. The second one wasn't. But now this one is...but hoping we won't need to replace it for a LONG time. Fingers crossed for you!<br /><br />Yes, I would drive 30 minutes for an Aldi, now that I have embraced it.<br /><br />I would LOVE to have chickens, but our HOA has a rule against them. I've already checked and because I checked I am certain to be on their "radar". Plus we have a major coyote problem in our area so they would be toast without a coop...but that is a good idea otherwise!Mrs. Always Randomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05621796911952199649noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2382954206394623451.post-19925096303797847842014-01-27T09:28:25.591-06:002014-01-27T09:28:25.591-06:00Yes, there are many times I wish we had an apartme...Yes, there are many times I wish we had an apartment.

I think you've most definitely won the "turn a bummer into a blessing" award for this week with "a bonus work-out in for my arms due to the horrifically-windy conditions on the interstate." That one totally made me smile! So glad for you that the water heater wasn't a total catastrophe, I've had that happen before too. Especially loved everyone pitching in with housecleaning on Saturdays, that sure brought back memories of childhood, and I wish I still had my kids home to pitch in now! Finding time for more reading is something I'm still working on, good for you for doing it! I'm believing that next week we're all going to be ready with lots of great stuff to share, right?! :-)Josie Two Shoeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18388032819905416258noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2382954206394623451.post-68041845142974890672014-01-26T21:41:12.683-06:002014-01-26T21:41:12.683-06:00Very good that the water heater could be replaced ...Very good that the water heater could be replaced so quickly.

I was wondering why I haven't seen you at Meijer in a while. <br /><br />Glad you are getting your reading done (but that is most certainly not the book we are reading!) How's the writing going?

I don't know what the life span of one is, but ours is at least 16 years old and it's huge, because the previous owners installed it when they put in the big whirlpool tub in our bathroom. I'm glad your story had a few silver linings, the most important being you weren't without hot water for more than a day (what a first world problem, huh?). Well, and that the wood floor wasn't ruined. Your insurance company should be thanking you for that one.<br /><br />Aldi is the BEST. I buy everything I can there. Ours blew away in the tornado (and they had just moved into a new building not long before), and I drove 30 miles to go to Aldi in another town until ours was rebuilt.<br /><br />Maybe you should get some chickens, so you can feed them the by-product of your juicing experiment....Dyanne @ I Want Backsieshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04946323852124525597noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2382954206394623451.post-72526624666326345502014-01-26T20:38:55.590-06:002014-01-26T20:38:55.590-06:00Ugh - water heater!

Yahoo!<br /><br />I need an Aldi here. We believe in supporting our local stores (as much as we can) and they aren't always the best price. So..there's that. <br /><br />Also, way to power through even though you weren't feeling it. Sometimes I push through "not feeling it" and sometimes I choose not to.
