thankful.thursdays

I am thankful for my traditions with my dad. He has raised me to be an avid Philadelphia sports fan and tonight we are going to the Flyers game to see them take on the Senators. I am thankful that we have season tickets for each of the teams, it makes Philly feel like my second home<3

I am thankful for forgiveness. There has been a lot of that being spread around in our family lately, and sometimes you have to let your pride down and forgive the ones who love you the most, even if you think they hurt you the most. I am looking forward to Thanksgiving this year, its been awhile since my family has been able to have a giant family dinner together<3

I am thankful for Starbucks VIA instant coffee. I hate instant coffees but I tried the ones that they were giving me for free and I am now obsessed. I keep them in my purse, at work, in my bookbag, in my car, so that I always have a quick pick-me-up wherever I go.

I am thankful for Google. How many times a day do you Google? I just recently realized that it is basically my lifeline. I Google on my Blackberry, on my laptop, on my iPod touch...constantly. *If you're having a lucky kind of day, click on "I'm feeling lucky" and see what it brings you to*

I am thankful for the holidays. Its this time of year where I start to get very nostalgic. As much as I absolutely HATE the cold weather and everything that comes with the Winter season, I LOVE the holidays. It all starts with Christmas music (which I have officially loaded onto my iPod, I'm ready to start listening to it), decorating cookies, decorating the house, the mall is decorated, people are starting to shop, etc. I think it makes everyone just a little bit happier each day. Did you ever walk into a store and smell a Christmas tree? That's the best smell EVER! What is on everyones wish list this year?

I am thankful for Blu Ray. We just got one in March and my family is addicted to it. My favorite movies to watch with it right now are Finding Nemo and Mamma Mia. I think it's because the blue color of the ocean becomes so vivid that I feel like I'm standing right there looking at it. Mamma Mia was filmed in Greece and it reminds me of how beautiful the Mediterranean water is there. They did not enhance that movie one bit, that's actually how beautiful it is.

I am thankful for wellies. I get so excited when I wake up and see that its raining outside because that only means one thing...I get to wear my rainboots (I call them wellies)!!! My wellies are hot pink and hit just below the knee, you are guaranteed to never lose me in a crowd of people on a rainy day:o) I'm like a little kid, walking to class, splashing (not in an obnoxious way) in the puddles and singing "raindrops are falling on my head...". Then I go home and make myself a cup of hot chocolate, grab my snuggie and I'm ready for a movie night! How can you not be thankful for Thursdays!? Enjoy!
