And so what about today....
Tis Wednesday and it has been a good day around here. It is feeling more like Christmas to me. So, today, what is it that I am thankful for??
1) The cold...I am loving it. I just wish that it would rain or snow. We are in the middle of a drought. The weatherman says that it is too dry to snow. ~blech~
2) Christmas lights.
3) My daughter who calls me so excited to tell me what she won on the radio. Like mother like daughter.
4) My son who has started saying at the oddest times in a french accent *Ha ha ha...you silly little pickle* CRACKS ME UP EVERY TIME HE DOES IT!! (it is a line from one of the Veggie Tales videos).
5) My new sewing machine! I am teaching myself to sew. Anyone want to see my first apron?
6) A car with a heater.
7) Hot peppermint tea.
8) Clean panties. Ya'll laugh at me every time that is on my list but I am really thankful for them. That is one of the weird thoughts that has gone through my head so many times since the hurricanes....how awful it must be to not even have one pair of clean undies. We take very simple things for granted.
9) Electric blankets.
10) Mail.
11) Caller ID
12) Salvation army bell ringers...that just SOUNDS like Christmas to me.
13) Rach's Christmas cards.
Okay, so tell me one little thing that you are thankful for today!!

Snow Days! We didn't have to go to school today, so we put up the Christmas tree!
ReplyDeleteWe're having a snow half-day today, in Denton, Texas! :) An ice day, really. That's thankful. And I'm thankful for Mindy.
ReplyDeleteI'll give ya two:
ReplyDelete1. You, Mindy.
2. It's too ficken'fracken' cold to snow here. (Oh, that didn't sound like thankfulness, did it?) How can I be glad about -2 degrees? At least it ain't snowing.
This is a great post, and I never got around to saying how much I liked your Walmart post too. (I read blogs via bloglines now and I don't always make it over to comment).
ReplyDeleteI want to see the apron!
ReplyDeleteNow, sewing is an art that escapes me. I'd love to see the apron. Here's a thought--you can sew underwear so you never run out.
ReplyDeleteAnd I wanted to tell you, I got David's magnet!! WOO HOO!!
you :)

Hmm...
ReplyDeleteI'm thankful for the weekend. And fireplaces. And nifty, warm, guy's jammy pants. (The girls versions aren't long enough. Plus they're sorta girlie. My favorite guy's pair has spark plugs on 'em. ((Nothing Fruedian there??))
Ooh. Yes. Clean knickers. Definately great. I hate it when you've run out & are really desparate, and have to wear yesterday's ones. Yuck.
ReplyDeleteOne irreplaceable wife.
ReplyDeleteTwo splendid sons.
Threescore years of life (well, nearly).
I'm thankful for a warm home, hot running water and a comfortable bed with soft pillows.
