Today I am grateful.

3-item minimum. I'll start.


Today I am grateful because:

1. I have a bed to sleep in and a roof to put it under.
2. I have food to eat and I will not starve.
3. I have friends to call and a phone to call them with.
4. I have shoes to wear and someplace to go (and people who will be happy to see me when I get there).
5. I have a computer and internet access and I can come to the Lounge and play and enjoy my SD family.


Who's next?

1) That Nanny, hubbys 90 yo grandmother, is still with us so we can visit with her again next week.
2) That hubby and I can afford to go.
3) That Uncle Julios opened this weekend here, just in time to top up on Mexican food before we leave the states. Yahoo!
4) That I wasn't forced to choke my psycotic co-worker this week. (that was a close one)

Today I am grateful because:

1. I have a job I really like and my boss tells me all the time that I'm doing very well;
2. A friend of mine got hired here (partially on my recommendation) and we will ride to work together after he's out of training (no more bus!) woot
3. A co-worker brought in some home-made banana pudding and shared it with me;


Now... I'd like to see the Mayor post something sincere in this thread. Think I should start holding my breath?

1. I am able to go to the dentist and get proper dental care.

2. My husband is making me tomato soup and grilled cheese for dinner.

3. My dog loves to curl up in my office with me while I am working (well, after he tires of running around all day laugh out loud)

4. I hate soap operas.

Anyone know orangutan CPR? Where's the doggy with the big red lips, he'd know for sure! Teehee

1. I'm thankful for Appleyum. He makes me laugh daily and is such a sweetheart of a husband.
2. My children. They give heartfelt hugs and thumps. Without them, I'd forget what life is truly about.
3. Our bird, Suriah. She's great entertainment and can provide a meal if things get really tough. Teehee

Today I am grateful because:

1. It's Casual Friday at my office. This is the first place I've worked with this sort of policy and for some reason wearing jeans to work has had me grinning since I put them on this morning.
2. I had a bagel with cream cheese and bacon for breakfast and it was yummy and way better than what I used to have every morning.
3. I moved into a single room last night! woot No more smelly roommates for me! Just 14 smelly housemates! [Chris Rock]You just look at your Censored and say "Scream if you want to, ain't nobody gonna hear ya!"[/Chris Rock]
4. I got some Cheesy Poofs and you can't have none! Unless you ask me nicely.

My only cheesy proof proves that 2 is the only even prime number.
