Thankful Thursday:o)

I am thankful I found my Bob Marley, Legend cd this morning. We had a dusting of snow on the ground outside and lately, I've just been wishing that summer was just around the corner. At any given point of the year, if I pop my Bob Marley cd in, I feel like the sun is on my face and I start singing "no worries, about a 'ting, every little thing, is gonna be alright"

I am thankful my friend Caitlin moved home this week after living in Western PA for almost a year. She landed a new job that she loves and is back home with the girls:o)

(this picture of us was taken about 3 years ago--I decided to dye my hair at home, thus the nasty, brassy color!! hahaha no comments please! lol)

I am thankful for Obama's State of the Union address from last night. I am a registered Republican, and I did indeed vote for McCain. I do not always agree with Obama's viewpoints (99% of the time) but after watching his speech to the American people last night, I thought he did very well. I'm not so sure I like that he is a very "suave" speaker, he was a little more relaxed than I would have liked him to be but who am I to judge the President of the United States on his public speaking skills? The bottom line is, from what I heard him say, it seemed to me that he gave Americans a bit of hope, optimism and unity. I hope he truly does execute his goals that he has planned out for 2010.

I am thankful for 10 calorie Vitamin Water drinks. I used to love Vitamin Water when it first came out (I still drink Smart Water religiously) but when I noticed how many calories it had and the amount of sugar that was in it, I was turned off. Thankfully, Glaceau paid someone to come up with a 10 calorie version of these delicious drinks so that we don't have to worry about jogging for 20 minutes just to burn off one of them!

I am thankful for the news that I recently received that my cousin Dawn is pregnant and due in September. That means that within the past 6 months, FIVE of my friends/family members are pregnant!! This is VERY exciting to me (especially because four of them are having girls!!)

I am thankful for Chelsea Handler's book, "Are You There Vodka? It's Me, Chelsea". She is absolutely hilarious and I absolutely adore her sense of humor. A friend of mine gave me this book for Christmas (gee, my friends don't think I'm an alcoholic do they!? yikes!) and everytime I read a little bit from it, I literally end up laughing out loud. Read it, you'll LOVE it!

And finally, because today is Thursday, I am OH-so-thankful that the weekend is quickly approaching and I will have a little bit of down time to relax and catch up on things I missed during the week. Tonight I'll be taking my Mom-Mom out to dinner for her birthday (thank you Williams Sonoma for gift wrapping in your wonderful store-you save me so much time!).

Happy Thursday friends! What are you thankful for?
