I'm extremely thankful for all that I have. Some days, more thankful than others. So here's this moment's list of things I'm thankful for.
10. I'm thankful that The Good Lord has blessed me with 2 children. Not 8. And Not 8 children that I have to take to a really busy grocery store. Alone.
9. I'm really thankful I don't have an affinity for pork rinds. Ugh.
8. I'm thankful that I have a loving husband who is also a teacher. And not an OB/Gyn.
7. I'm really thankful that I have a sense of modesty and that I have a little voice in my head that says, you know, after 2 kids, is that little bitty teeny weeny barely there 2 piece swimsuit from Fredricks of Hollywood really a good idea?
6. I passed on the perm at the cosmetology school. Oh, wait, I didn't pass on that, nevermind.
5. Brownie batter. The only thing that is greater than my fear of contracting salmonella is my fervor for all things sugar + butter + eggs + flour + chocolate (actually my fear of contracting trichnosis is up there too, but that's for another day). I like to live on the edge, I scoff at the raw egg and say live! Eat batter!
5. Cake Batter. (see #5)
4. Cookie Dough (see...wait, this post is quickly taking a different direction, I'm off task, need to regroup).
3. I'm glad I skipped the whole role playing games phase.
2. I'm thankful my two beautiful children are healthy. And noisy. Really noisy, usually right around the time my new issue of Real Simple magazine arrives.
1. My blog. And the millions, well maybe not millions, hundreds? tens of people? I'm thankful for the handful (couple?) who enjoy my writing and can laugh with me.
Happy Trails!
