Today I am reflecting on what I am grateful for because it is Thanksgiving here in Canada. I decided to do a top 10 list of the weird things I'm grateful for.
10. That my crazy neighbor announced she's planning on moving away in November. I know, I know. I'll miss the drumming circles (in a condo). Oh and the physical altercations with her 26 year old daughter that end with "Go ahead, hit me again" and me calling the police. I love those police. I'll miss the stoner friends showing up at all hours to "chill".....which I've learned means to get high. Can I pay half the realtor fees for you to list now?
9. That my dog didn't pee on anything inside my house for the last 4 months. Of course I have him gated on the main floor exclusively but he's really good at not peeing on the main floor. Now if I let him upstairs....well.
8. Diet Pepsi and chocolate pudding. Not together silly. That would be gross. I might be a little crazy but I'm not a freak. Well, okay maybe on Monday mornings I'm a little bit freakish like but...um....back to the list.
7. That I now know how to get poop out of almost any fabric. Don't ask.
6. Aluminum foil. Strange I know but we go through a lot of it. For cooking....saves me dishes on those crazy nights. Keeps our upstairs cool....I have foiled the bedroom window......like a hillbilly cause I'm too cheap and lazy to get a heavy drape instead. It's great for crafts (including tin foil hats). Heck, even the dog eats it......alright I wasn't too grateful for that one. But I think the vet appreciated the added income. I could start a telethon. Foil for Vets. What? You don't think that would fly?
5. That the gas company has stopped ringing my doorbell instead choosing to just leave the "Sorry we missed you today" card in my mailbox. The usually show up at dinner time. It's awesome. I'll just wait for the "It's been 6 months since we read your meter now let us in" card. Then maybe I'll answer the door. And no I don't care if you can see me inside Gas Guy. I think I've crushed his soul but hey...he's not bugging me anymore.
4. For Lulu Lemon pants made from Lycra-Spandex.....just in time for Thanksgiving Dinner. Pants I was probably never meant to wear. Suck it all you yoga people with flat tummys and perky bums. I'm soiling you're trendy image. Ha ha.
3. Push-up bras. I'm turning 37 in a few weeks. Need I say more? And while we're at it I'm grateful for Spanx too.
2. That Andrew hasn't discovered that lady bugs are beetles. Every spring and summer we start finding them inside our house. He is petrified of beetles. I'll never tell him.....
1. All of you out in the blogosphere. I am amazed that my little blog has grown so much in the last year. Okay, you aren't weird....or at least if you are that's none of my business. I'm just grateful for all of you. Group hug!! Too much? Sorry
