More Good Things

Again, these are random:

• I'm thankful that, after 15 years of varying degrees of pain, my wisdom teeth no longer hurt.
• I'm thankful I will never, ever, have to get my wisdom teeth extracted again.
• I'm thankful for my two cool kitties.
• Yesterday I wrote an entire chapter, so I'm thankful my muse has not abandoned me like I'd feared. (and because I'm still scared of messing it up, that is ALL I'm gonna say)
• To all my wonderful friends, I am grateful. They say love makes the world go round, but I think it's more likely friendship. :)
• Every day the sun is out in full force, I am thankful. Love that sunshine!
• I'm thankful I don't get ear- and nose-hair growing rampant like, erm... guys. Yikes. Seriously, as the population ages, it might be good to buy stock in tweezers and some painless hair removal apparati...
• I am eternally thankful for uplifting bras, comfy shoes, and stretchy jeans. Thanks, fashion fairy!
• I soooo totally thankful big earrings are back. Love them.
• Tomorrow I'll be thankful Cornfuscius is cooking the turkey outside in a fryer while I've got the oven crammed full of other goodies.
• Last but not least, I'm thankful for the XM/Syrius music stations on our DirecTV - especially The Blend.

Have a wonderful day tomorrow, everybody! Happy, happy turkey day.

Good Things

Before I get all caught up in this week's holiday riff-raff, thought I'd take a few minutes to think about what I'm thankful for. So here they are, some silly, some... not:

• First, a biggie -- I'm thankful my husband and I both still have jobs.
• I'm thankful for a woodburning stove and the big pile of firewood we gathered this year.
• I'm thankful for over-the-counter hair color.
• Almost daily, I'm thankful I have two healthy, well-behaved kids. (will have to tell them later)
• SO thankful women's eyebrows don't become what mens' do when we age. :)
• Superduper thankful today, because my pal just alerted me that Garfield County Library NOW HAS EBOOKS!!!!
• I'm thankful for marvelous book covers from my publisher and cover artist extraordinaire, Renee Rocco.
• Most days I'm pretty thankful for our DVR. I do still roll my eyes a bit when I see 75 episodes of Wizards of Waverly Place or Zach & Cody, or the ongoing hundreds of episodes of Modern Marvels and This Old House saved there, but hey: I'm totally OK with my son saving 25 Jay Leno Shows... perspective is important here.
• I'm thankful for every new episode of Bones, House, and Glee.
• I'm extra thankful nobody in my family has food allergies.
• Today I'm thankful the RE-2 School District decided to take a full week off for Thanksgiving this year.

That's enough for now. We'll take a short YouTube break tomorrow, and maybe I'll have some more for Wednesday. Hopefully by then I'll be thankful for all the stuff I've crossed off my Too Done list, and still think my kids are well behaved...
