Gratitude

After being in such a crabby mood all weekend, sulking around for two days over a stupid boy, I decided tonight that I should try to remember all of the things that I am grateful for. Thank you, Oprah!

I am grateful for the fact that even though Earl is not a lap kitty, when he's sleeping close to me he still has to be touching me somehow, someway, usually with his paws. It is truly one of the sweetest things ever. He is so crazy (and somewhat bratty) most of the day, but when he slows down he is just a big baby who loves his mama.

As for Meredith, I'm grateful for how she eagerly takes her place either snuggled up right next to me, or balancing on my hip, as soon as I lie down to go to sleep at night. (Can you tell I took a nap with my kitties today?)

Gratitude does not even begin to describe how I feel about the Weight Watchers Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Sundae. Those things are like a little plastic cup full of heaven all for only 3 points!

I'm grateful to have a best friend like N, who has known me since I was a little kid. She has seen me in all of my glory and at my very worst. I love that we can sit around and talk for hours, sometimes talking about how amazing it is that we can talk about nothing at all. She is Laverne to my Shirley; Karen to my Grace; and I love her! Of course, I'm grateful for all of my friends and family, but you know, I had to show my girl N some love.

Today, especially, I'm grateful for mimosas. Mimosas could be one of the most perfect drinks ever. Champagne and orange juice, you just can't go wrong. And apparently on Sunday's at Mo's you can get bottomless mimosas for $9.50! Who knew? My headache is not so grateful for the mimosas, but I remain thankful anyway.

Lastly, I'm grateful for C & S with whom I lost touch for too long, but luckily through the wonders of technology we've reconnected. Sorry that this turned all "Oscar acceptance speech", but at least I'm not thanking the little people. Oh! I think I hear the orchestra playing me off....
