Came up with this idea to recap my weeks with what I was grateful for. Thought it may be a fast easy way to look back at the end of the year and remember some of the things that may have otherwise gone by the wayside and been forgotten. So I am getting a late start for the year but better late than never. Here we go: January 23 through 29, 2011:* Three hour phone call with my friend Jim Allen. It was so great hearing a voice that I hadn't heard since high school and catching up on all sorts of things!
* Shoveling snow again. Yep I am grateful that I am still healthy and able enough to take an 11" snow and get it cleared off my sidewalks and driveway by myself. Don't get me wrong, I took a midway break but one must be careful not to overdo it.
* New books! That speaks for itself!
* Getting teeth polished. Had my 6-month check up this past week and am pretty thankful that I have had no cavities for 33 years and really no other problems either. Yay!
* Having a work lunch with my office friends at my favorite restaurant 'House of India'. Mmmmm, Chicken curry, basmati rice, na'an, potatoes in chick pea batter, tandoori chicken...Yum Yum Yum!
* Getting a call from an old neighbor's girlfriend (Maggie) thanking me for sending her photos of her cat Sinatra.
* Another great lunch at 'JJ Twigs' with my administrative team. This time yum consisted of a Buffalo Chicken Sandwich and fries. Spicy delicious.
* Having a great day at work Thursday. It was short lived but nonetheless, Thursday was good.
* Watching my daughter hold her cell phone up to my car heater vents as she is using her Shazam phone application to find the name of an artist singing a song. Upon watching her do this for the 2nd time in a month my simple comment was... "You realize you are holding your phone up to the heat vent don't you?" Well, quick story, no she didn't realize it! At 20 years old she thought it was the car speaker! Why am I grateful for this? Without Victoria, where else would I get a story as funny as this?
* Excedrin Migraine. So thankful that most of my migraine pain can be controlled with Excedrin Migraine and coffee! Wish it would help with the flashing lights they cross my field of vision because it makes it very hard to drive when I can't see, but at least the pain is addressed enough to function.
* Antique Malls. My trip to the local antique mall found me bringing home a new bedside table and angel for my bedroom. I just love finding old items that fit my space and needs for a heck of a lot less than retail and with so much more personality.
