Thankful Thursday

I haven't done this in awhile, I think.

I'm thankful for

- wedding details miraculously falling fairly easily into place.  We finalized our invitation wording tonight and I love, love, love it.

- the opportunities in my near future.

- episodes of Heroes available to watch instantly on my computer via Netflix.

- the almost spring-like weather we've had for the past two days.  I know it's just a tease but it's still nice.

Thankful Thursday

I am thankful for plane flights that are sometimes canceled or missed.

Thankful Thursday

I am immensly thankful for the man I'll be bringing home with me late tomorrow afternoon. 

Ahem, that's Matt (who, by the way, might read this blog on occasion).  You know, in case it's not really as obvious as I think it is. 

Thankful Thursday

- "Thank you for booking your trip with Expedia.co.uk."

- Stump Jump - excellent $12 bottle of wine

- BBQ Chicken (well, Quorn anyway) Pizza - a little burnt.  Ahem, see above.

- Fourteen days

(A bit selfish Thankful Thursday but much needed)

Thankful Thursday

I'm thankful for

- my eyes.  I've had an issue with the right one for several months and I think my trip to the ophthalmologist this morning may have solved the problem. 

- my friends.  I know I've not been in contact as much as I should be or, more importantly, as I'd like to be but perhaps when the holidays are over I'll feel more...um, friendly.

- a few more precious shopping days until Christmas.  I've also not felt so in the Christmas spirit and gift ideas have been few and far between.  I always seem to find something I like, though....

- Hershey's Hot Cocoa Creme Kisses.  As is evidenced by the stash in my freezer.

- nightly love letters and the man who writes them.

Thankful Thursday (A Day Late)

I thought about this post all day yesterday but never actually sat down to write it for some reason.

I'm thankful for

- friends who don't mind picking me up when I'm feeling down.  I wasn't looking for compliments but I'm not going to turn them down - they really did help.  Thank you so much.

- flowers for no reason.  I know, I know, enough already - but you should see the arrangement Matt sent to my office yesterday.  Another reason why I should really stop worrying.   It's really unfortunate that he can't reap the benefits of sending his girlfriend flowers at work....

- electricity.  If I hadn't missed Thankful Thursday last week this would have been the very first thing on the list.  I was lucky and my power was only out for three days but it was a very long three days (although, I got a lot of knitting done on the wrap during that time).

- Season five of The Office.  And since I'm writing this a day late - yay for Pam and Jim!

Thankful Thursday

I should probably start this with being thankful for the ability to back date a post.  Not only am I currently without internet access at home but I've spent the last several nights packing like a madwoman.

So I am most definitely thankful for my mom who has spent the last two nights making sure all of my ducks are in a row.  She knows I'm usually the type to have a few stragglers. 

Nearly everything to do with this move has kind of fallen into place and I'm certainly very thankful for that.  It's amazing that, a month ago, I thought I'd be in this hell hole of a situation until the middle of November.  Now I'll be smack dab in the middle of the vacation of a lifetime instead - with no apartment worries what so ever. 

As always, I'm thankful for my friends and family...and my family's friends who are helping me move tonight.  :-)

And I'm also thankful for frozen pizza because that's what I've eaten for three of my last five meals. 

Thankful Thursday

I am thankful for

- the speed at which this week is flying by.  When I saw Ginny's thankful post I had to stop and think, "What?!  It's Thursday again?!  Already?!"

- Ginny for reminding me to be thankful two weeks in a row now - and for lots of other things, too. 

- two more sleeps until the Asshole is (hopefully) O-U-T. 

- my friends

- my family. I separated friends and family this week as a special shout out to my parents (who don't read this) who are not only helping me move next week but are providing me with their old couch and television as well as a new kitchen table for my birthday. 

- Matt - for lots of reasons.

Thankful Thursday

I am thankful for

- getting to spend time with my brother this past weekend.  We hadn't seen him since Christmas which is far too long.

- knitting with friends at coffee shops because girl time is really, really important

- the kindness of my friends and family

- along the same lines: uber sweet men with terribly sexy English accents

- Dexter Season Two for making a night of holing up in my bedroom for hours a really pleasant experience.  

- and, most importantly, SEVENTEEN MORE SLEEPS!!!

Thankful Thursday

A few hours late but with photos!

I am thankful for -

- friends (new and old) and family (I honestly think this will forever be on the list and that's okay)

- duck ponds

- crazy surprise packages* from crazy friends

-upcoming weekends packed with plans

I hope everyone has lots of things to be thankful for!

*I now realize that this needs a little clarification.  Alan Rickman fans are called Rickmaniacs.  It has ABSOLUTELY NOTHING TO DO with the Asshole.  Yuck.
