I love lists. What OCD-sufferin’ fool doesn’t?
I’m a little behind. Week 1, 2, 3, 4 were all good. And maybe I’ll get back to them as 2013 progresses. But since this is a random kind of blog, what does it hurt to start a few weeks late, right?
I found this project while poking around websites looking for Project Life ideas. (Project Life is a scrapbooking style I’m experimenting with for 2013 – stay tuned for more on that another day!) I was here:
And that led me here:

So, let’s see if we can pull this together here.
WEEK 5: Things I am Thankful For
Obviously, my husband – he’s wonderful even if we do drive each other crazy some days! 🙂
My two beautiful and strong willed children – where do they get that?
My dog and her amazing personality. Seriously, she’s hysterical, even when she’s not trying. Except when she’s puking. That is not cool.
My health (even as it tests me and tricks me occasionally)
My mom. My sisters. My brothers. My dad.
My seriously amazing and strong grandma who just survived her first heart attack at age 87. (She’s the middle wine drinker above. I’m on the right. Your right. Her left. My sister is on the left. But her right. And this is an old picture. 2009. Pre-bangs. And only 4 weeks post baby for me. But I’m posting it anyway because it illustrates several things I’m thankful for!)
My aunt. My cousins. My nieces and nephews. My in-laws.
Ok, let’s simplify and say I am thankful for family. {love them when you can}
My job. My husband’s job. Obvious ones, but truth.
Friends. I have great friends.
Laughter. Especially with friends.
Wine. And diet coke. And people who bring me either of these. {I especially like reislings, moscatos and cans of diet coke}
Black fine tip sharpies. {oh, you’re still reading?}
Bacon. Yep, I said it. I cannot get enough. Except for those two times in my life where I ate too much. But it’s back on.
Shelter. Another obvious one that cannot be understated. Subcategory here: two car garage and closets for each bedroom. Having gone without both, I am appreciative and very thankful for them. I will never take them for granted. Ever.
My mind. Sharp as a fuzzy slipper. Seriously – this is a side bar of health, but having my wits about me – I’m thankful I don’t have early onset dementia or similar. I think about these things when I look at the dishwasher and all I can think is “microwave”. But really…I’m thankful for my mind.
Likewise, I’m very thankful for my senses, and in particular for my vision and hearing. Lasik is in my very near future and I’m nervous but SO excited at some glasses freedom.
Oh, thankful for a flex account. And that I’m able to fund it.
I’m thankful for my bed, and I think I better head there.
Thank YOU for reading, and stay tuned to see if I come back for another list or make up the ones I missed. You never know. Still working on the whole blog conversion thing. {Okay, so by working on, I have the site and we just need to do something to move stuff but that part is really the operations (aka husband) side and not the style (aka Lisa) side. Maybe this weekend!}
