for getting to spend time with my grandkids.
that DS is finally doing what I said in chit chat.
for all my blessings, large and small.

1. DH not having to work so much overtime anymore, for now anyway. Of course we will miss the extra moola but he needs a break.

2. DS#1 finally getting a day off. First day off in two weeks.

3. Having my house (the inside) decorated finally. Now I can sit back and enjoy.

4. My Christmas shopping almost being done. Just have a few (about 4) more things to get and that's it.

5. All the Christmas cartoons, movies and music. It is kind of a tradition now watching the same ones over every year since I was young, Charlie Brown, Rudolph, Frosty the Snowman-just wouldn't be Christmas without them.

For Today:

1. It's Friday and I get to go home earlier, although I have to go to work earlier but that's ok!

2. International coffee's! I feel like it's a treat when I have a cup.

3. There wasn't as much fog last night as I had expected so driving home was perfect.

4. My great friends here at Jaded Ladies......(do any of us really feel Jaded?) You are all such wonderful women!

5. My computer. If I didn't have it, I wouldn't have ever "met" any of you lovely ladies!

I do

1.The beautiful weather.
2. DH being home this weekend.
3. DS having only 26 (is it 26 or 27, hmmmm, don't know what the date is today) days left at that horrible job.
4. My loving family and puppy dog.
5. Having a relatively lazy day today. Maybe I should say easy instead of lazy.

Today:

1. Saw my family and no overbearing aunt there to make us feel bad!

2. Getting grandpa's house all in the spirit of Christmas.

3. Jhanai being such a good girl by helping watch the baby.

4. A much needed break from a busy day.

5. No rain so we can get a dry tree!

1) that, like me, Ellen too feels jaded, lol.
2) that I have mini-meatloaves already made up, ready for the oven afterwhile.
3) for the Sunday paper.
4) for a good (and OP) evening with my family last night.
5) that Neal and his brother are speaking again, after a year of holding a grudge.

Today:

1. James & Jhanai picked out a PERFECT tree! It's beautiful and smells good too.

2. That James didn't get buried underneath the tree while we were putting it up....we had some difficulties.

3. Jhanai & James both ate my cookies even though they look more like muffins or cake!! (they've been calling them Cake-ies')

4. Started drinking Green Tea, hear it's suppose to help cleanse you out....I think they're right!

5. Bathroom necessities.....for after I drink Green Tea, I really need it!
