| Me and Baby Jack at 31 weeks. |
It's Thanksgiving and I love lists. So here 'goes ... in no particular order ... what I'm thankful for on Thanksgiving 2010:
- A life brimming with family and friends. A brimming life. A life that feels full. And the fact that full feels as good as I imagined.
- Fresh Market ("Freshy Market" in Nickyspeak) and Harris Teeter's online shopping. Convenience. Food. The marriage of the two.
- My son's awesome relationships with his grandparents
- The holidays
- Blessings in disguise
- January 26th getting closer and closer
- My loving, thoughtful husband
- My awesome son
- The caring, patient teachers who make my son run down the hall to his classroom every morning and deliver to me a happy, proud little camper every afternoon
- The whole "fishy kissy ... hug" scenario with Nicky
- Tea at bedtime
- Metallics and holiday decorating. Metallic holiday decorating. Holiday decorating with metallics. I'm so excited.
- Beautiful Virginia and beautiful Virginia weather
- Nice sheets and pajamas
- The novels of Oscar Hijuelos and short stories of David Sedaris
- Merry Maids
- Parsnips, beets, and all the other rooties
- Anything with a dumpling/biscuit crust
- Talenti Meditterean Mint gelato
- Not wanting anything for Christmas
- Having at least a couple good ideas for my husband's gifts
- Thirty-one happy, healthy years
- A daily routine that I miss when I'm gone
- A job I can do in my dogwalking clothes and with my dog snoring beside me
- Benefit Skinny Dip lipstick
- Maturity, patience, self acceptance, confidence, humility
- My son's manners, which he uses 30 percent of the time
