Things I'm Thankful For:

This week has been tough.. it's funny how preparing for relaxation (next week is vacation!) can be so overwhelmingly stressful! I read somewhere that to keep a positive outlook (PMA!), you should write down five things that you are thankful for everyday. Instead of five, I'm just going to make a big ol' list today, because I have tons to be thankful for!

In no particular order:

• This weather! Love the heat, heat, heat! Thank the LAWD for no more cold!
• Caramel vanilla cream k-cups.
• Having Fridays off at work.
• Our special boat trip on the Hiawatha tonight--excited! Hope May loves it! Also hoping that we don't get sea sick.
• The fact that Maylene got ready for school with no problems this morning,
• The fact that Jason did the laundry AND the dishes! And we're almost all caught up!
• My manicure and pedicure appointment for tomorrow. First time ever getting one, thanks to Jason's Mothers' Day gift! I can't wait to see my best friend Bethie! And to get a little pampered.
• Having my own desk at work.
• New tires on my car. It is no longer a death trap.
• Tumblr. It gets me through the slow work hours.
• A Series of Unfortunate Events. They also get me through the slow work hours.
• I lost 12 pounds!
• Coffee.
• Iced coffee.
• Water.
• Boom boom sauce.
• Jason, for being very good at pretending that I am not completely insane.
• Maylene, for literally being the funniest and most sarcastic 2 year old I have ever known.
• Garlic powder.
• My Mom.
• My Dad.
• My family.
• My working car.
• My job.
• The big tub of strawberries in our fridge.
• The Great Gatsby soundtrack.
• The fact that we're leaving for North Carolina in two days.
• My health.
• My family.
• My family.
• My friends who have always been there for me no matter what.
• Books.
