Re: Graditude

Wine. Specifically Casillero del Diablo Carmenere 2007 from Chile. Cheap red that doesn't cause instantaneous headaches and tastes good to boot! It's our new house red.

Yum. I'm going to ask DH to find some for me. I had my first post-pregnancy margarita (shared w DH) a couple days ago, and, oh, it tasted so good.

I'm grateful for my mom, who made the last three weeks bearable with three kids under age two. I'm grateful it will only be a few weeks until she's back here for Christmas.
I'm grateful for incredible new friends we've made here, only a few months after we moved.
I'm grateful for cell phones and for DH's willingness to chat with me about anything and nothing in particular while he's driving.
I'm grateful for my camera. aparazzi:
I'm grateful for wood-burning stoves and the smell of freshly-cut pine logs.
I'm grateful for tile floors.

Re: Graditude

The puppet I just bought for my 3yo nephew. It's a dog that actually barks when you work its mouth. . . and it was only $5! I brought it to the office and cracked up my co-workers. "Talk to the Dog" has become the quote of the day around here.


P.S. 3yo nephew got the puppet for Chirstmas and he loves it.

Re: Graditude

The "get well" necklace my 11 year old son made me as a surprise...it makes me giggle every time I look at it! I am a cross between a pimp and a hippie and a nun

I am grateful that 24 hours from now my work week will be over and I will be having dinner with friends.

I am grateful that 48 hours from now I will be with DrK and that he has taken very good care of my dog in my absence.

I am grateful that my collegue gave me a hug instead of a lecture when I messed up today.

I am grateful that my MIL is excited about spending thanksgiving with us.

I am grateful that DrK calls to check in on me when I'm having a bad day even if he is very busy.

I am grateful that my 9 month old nephew is healthy and he is learning how to walk.

I am grateful for DrK.

I am grateful that I had a good hair day.

Re: Graditude

Today, I'm grateful that my coworker got back from her week in Hawaii and solved a couple problems I needed her help with.

And, I'm grateful for the trashy fantasy romance novel series I'm reading.

Re: Graditude

I am grateful for having two warm kitties in my lap. Our heater is broken and it's cold!!! :brrr:

ETA: Okay, that gratitude was almost a complaint, so I'll throw in - I'm grateful that we have a warranty on our home, and someone is coming to fix the heater tomorrow!

Re: Graditude

I'm grateful that

1. (and this is the biggest one) that DS is doing so well and that he can function at near normal levels.
2. Baby #2 is wriggly all the time so I know she is doing well in there.
3. DH is not traveling this week and we get to spend the holiday together without traveling to MIL's.
4. my fall craft show is done and I only have a few special orders to finish up before I can start knitting for the babe.

There are more, but those are the biggies. I really need to keep my focus on these things as I get overwhelmed with all of the interview travels, the SI joint pain and swollen feet.

Those goofy Jimmy Dean ads with the guys dressed as the sun, moon, and clouds.

Re: Graditude

I am grateful for the opportunity and ability to play sports because my game last night saved the day!

I am also grateful for our big warm bed, even though the Mr. isn't in it right now, because it is keeping me warm and comfy during an incredibly lazy day.
