Things I am Grateful for:
- My husband - my partner-in-crime, the one person who knows how I like things, the person from whom I can't hide my true feelings and who makes me laugh everyday - all while looking like James Bond his tuxedo. Rawr.
- Sebastian - my "big-boy" pint-sized ball of energy and wit.
- Benjamin - the baby who will soon take over the world. He is charisma personified.
- My family - you're all awesome and you know it.
- My friends - for everything.
- That dark chocolate and red wine are actually good for you. Thank you Jebus!
- How Clean is Your House - for making me feel like a domestic goddess while I watch daytime television instead of dusting or whatever it is you're supposed to be doing.
- All-Wheel-Drive
- That my cousin the Marine survived a bomb attack and got back from Iraq in one piece.
- Totally related to the above bullet point - that election day is less than a year away and people are (finally!) waking up to Bush's fundamentalist hypocrisy. Amen!
- Luxe environmentalism. God, I hate patchouli.
- Jeans that hide a multitude of sins
- That I actually enjoy yoga and pilates. Because I also love brownies.
- Boxer dogs
- Size 7 diapers.
- Courtesy pre-boarding for families traveling with children.
- Pumpkin pie, pumpkin soup, pumpkin ravioli. You get the picture.
- Figs
- Fall foliage
- That ballerina flats are trendy now, so I can add to my collection with abandon
And you! Thank you for reading and for your comments and emails. Have a Happy Thanksgiving!
