Thankful

 

This could be a post about how much I love my family and friends and how thankful I am for all of them……..but you already know that. Right?

So, my top ten things I am thankful for lately:

1. Peppermint Mocha coffee creamer. Mike does the majority of the grocery shopping in our house. This is an example of what typically happens when I request a specific item, I asked him to get me some peppermint creamer and instead got me peppermint MOCHA creamer (very close to my request, but not quite). Well, his mistake is my fortune because I love it! If I roll over slightly and just start thinking about this yummy goodness, it makes me get out of bed. Even when it’s a sleep-in day.

2. Rimmel Lasting Finish Pro fingernail polish. I bought this for my nieces wedding that was Labor Day weekend. I just removed it and repainted my toes for the Black Dress event and there was not ONE chip in it. I know toenails last a lot longer than fingernails, but seriously? 3 months? Of course the paint needed to be redone due to regrowth, but there wasn’t a single chip. Pretty amazing. Burgundy Flirt is my color of choice.

3. Having four whole days off in a row. Going to shop, hang with family, possibly getting a movie night with my husband, and see some friends. Perfect.

4. Banana nut Cheerios. I know it’s artificial banana, but I love it.

5. Diet Coke from McDonalds. My co-workers and I make a trip for lunch once a week and I make that pop last all afternoon.

 

6. The TV show Parenthood. After Brothers and Sisters this show is my favorite. The fact that the Thanksgiving show ended with them dancing to the song, You Down with OPP had me smiling all week. (And texting it to my friend that loves the show too, only she didn’t get it……)

 

7. Pear Tree Greetings. I used them this year for my Christmas cards instead of Shutterfly and I saved over $30. They had just as many choices as Shutterfly and the process was just as easy. They came this week and they are every bit as nice. Awesome find.

8. Heated seats and automatic start. I forget about these two features all summer. I think I would give up automatic windows and locks to have these two features in my vehicle.

9. Online shopping. I have found amazing deals lately. It takes time to go from site to site looking for the best deal, but I saved over $100 on a certain gift for someone this year doing it. TOTALLY worth it. I like to go shopping, but we just have not had time to get out of town. I love knowing I am getting some gifts crossed off my list all from the comfort of my recliner.

10. Slippers. I wear them all the time. I even bring them to people’s houses when we go. I love them.

Happy Thanksgiving everyone!
