- that I came hoem safely from my trip
- that my parents took good care of DS and DD while I was gone
- that the kids are OK and very glad to have me back
- that I had a great trip
- that spring is coming!

Today I am grateful:

• that it isn't snowing - much
• for Precor ellipticals
• for To Do lists
• for four kitty friends
• for the rumor that spring IS coming!

1) I can see almost all of the sidewalks
2) DH took one for the team and cleaned up all of the dog's poop that was revealed by the melting snow
3) DH microwaves my oatmeal while I'm in the shower so it will be ready when I get downstairs
4) Last night Carter (the dog) fell asleep on the couch with his head on my feet, and I could feel the snores vibrating!
5) DVR

1) sunshine outside my window again instead of snow
2) worked out with DH last night - a win/win!
3) after above workout my shoulder feels fine
4) Braves look good in pre-season, even though they didn't win the first game
5) my MIL feeling human again after this long bout with pneumonia

1. Exercise TV, for giving me a yoga routine this morning
2. My heated mattress pad - how I missed it after 2 weeks sleeping in the guest room!
3. My crockpot, so that after the roofing people leave at 8:00, dinner will be waiting for me.
4. Trader Joes Cracked Wheat Sourdough Bread
5. That I get to have filet mignon and asparagus and spring onion risotto for dinner tomorrow, and it will be on plan!

~The trailer FINALLY made it to the jobsite (albeit 3 days late AND with damage, but at least our guys can EARN the money we've been paying them!)
~coffee!!!
~the start of a good day (after yesterday's bad day)
~a clean car
~looking forward to a fun weekend

- for the opportunity for my next trip

4) it might be warm enough (and clear enough) for a bike ride this weekend
5) I get to eat yummy food this weekend

:coffee:

-coffee
-that DSS wanted to invite me to the birthday party at his mom's (still not invited, but at least now I know that he notices I'm not there)
-sunshine and should be 50 for my run this afternoon
-the good kind of sore after my workout yesterday
-3FC where I can talk about diet, exercise and my frustration over the above referenced birthday party drama :dizzy:

:coffee:
That I feel 95% better than I did yesterday
That my workout went really well
That I'm having dinner with friends from all over the state tonight

Not so grateful that it's snowing. :(

~ sunny outside
~ found a kale salad at Whole Foods that is amazing
~ my favorite trashy reality shows that I so enjoy (I will not be ashamed!)
~ that I just moved back home and my favorite exercise studio is 15 minutes away!
~ planning a delicious lunch for today: lightly battered cod and kale salad
~ tried out figure skating this week for the first time in years and I *love* it!!

1) That I finally figured out how to get my 10 free downloads from Napster (which I earned from Coke codes) onto my laptop & into my iTunes list.
2) That Tom the trainer at the gym said I did really well in his circuit training class today. (I had been too intimidated to try it for many, many weeks -- this was my second class, and I enjoyed myself!)
3) That the air has softened & it nearly reached 50 degrees today, and there was a cardinal singing for nearly a half-hour this morning in the courtyard of my apartment building.
4) Celestial Seasonings Caffeine-Free Bengal Spice tea was on sale. And I had a coupon, too.
5) That I may actually finish reading the weekend NY Times over the weekend instead of keeping half of it on my kitchen table as the week rolls on.

- for myself being like I am and somehow landing where I am now
- for my amazing DS and DD
- for my job and the great opportunities it offers
- for my sisters & parents
- sundaymorning, sunny outside :coffee: in bed (and a field hockeyteam sleeping in my livingroom)
