Forty More Things I am Thankful For...
1) Salty air breezes
2) Guacamole
3) The feeling you get the moment that someone really annoying leaves your presence....leading me to #4
4) My new "Bite Me" shirt I'm currently wearing. Harmless, as its just a tank top with a half bitten strawberry on it, yet so fun to wear around certain individuals and secretely mean it.
5) Sangria slurpees (proof God loves me and wants me to be happy)
6) Grilled cheese (thanks Jedi for reminding me that God loves me so much that He provided His only begotten heavenly sandwich, Grilled Cheezus)
7) I survived the great Hot Tamale debacle....hooooly crap.
8) Coworkers who I can laugh with about the Hot Tamale debacle...woo hoo death row! (seriously girls, I would kill myself if I worked in a department where the topic of conversation went "ohhh my god, you got your wrap without tomatoes too! Sooooo funny." No , Im sorry, that is not funny. I can't even force a LOL in my mouth about wraps with or without tomatoes. Cucumbers aren't funny either.
.....there was a 3 hour hiatus between #8 and #9 becaaaaaause....
9) random wine drinking sessions on the back porch with my 86 year old landlord where she feeds me and trys to get me drunk, and talks to me about life
10) those times where I am clearly speeding and drive by a cop...and obviously should get pulled over but instead give a little "what up"wave and look in the rearview mirror to discover NO blue flashing lights... word to ya mother
11) bubble baths
12) Chronicles of Narnia (+10 nerd points, but its a good series)
13)Discovering that things I previously couldn't stand actually really don't suck....I just ate a quiche and liked it. what the...I literally puked off a quiche in 2nd grade because it tasted like ass and catfood...it's like I don't even know me anymore!
14) My recent discovery of the legging...am I commando? am I thong? am I just granny panty covered by an oversized shirt? the world may never know...but shiiiiiiit... im comfortable
15) The song Amazing Grace....there's just something about it
16) My sexy hunk of metal Ravvy....10 years and 145, 500 miles later and we're still in love with very few problems (knock on wood)
17) The feeling of making it to the gas station after the gas light has been on a wee bit too long
18) a good chai latte
19) unexpected funny moments from normally quiet people (tomato comments in #8 definitely don't count)
20) My special needs neighbor Ellen...gosh some good stories comes out of this commune because of her presence in my life. She's 80 something and wears a bathing suit 365 days of the year. And, when she can't find her bathingsuit, she goes naked (sitting in her chair by the Vinoy golf course...classic)
21) Unexpected good life lessons from unexpected sources (often stemming from #9)
22) My grandpa's olives
23) Unexpected cards in mail
24) My broken brain/mouth censor...both a blessing and a curse. But I'm having fun
25) Live music
26) Friendly people who have no problem being "real" no matter their status in the world (neurosurgeon, garbage man...whatever, we're all friends here)
27) Late night Target runs status post World of Beer
28) tortellini soup
29) potentially socially awkward situations that end up being kinda fun
30) drinking anything out of a wine glass, it makes me feel so sophisticated
31) Sushi
32) the color green
33) the smell of orange blossoms in the air
34) the serenity of the highway 70 drive home...it lets me lose my mind in a good way
35)orchids
36) being warm
37)those days when it rains all day but manages not to really rain on my way in or out of work ...for I usually forget my umbrella and refuse to take the shuttle bus with wet-smelling people
38) automatic faucets that actually work so I dont feel like the dumbass who can't wash her hands
39) peace signs....its the hippie in me
40) I am still thankful for you Mr//Ms I Care Enough to Read All the way to #40
Damn, that felt good. Try it sometime....betcha you'll feel just a little bit sunshiney afterwards! This little light of mine, I'm gonna let it shine, aint gonna let nobody poop it out
