Thankful Thursdays

I'm thankful for my new blog friends, its wonderful to learn so much about new people! I love to see how people design their blogs and use their creativity through their words:o)

I'm thankful for our Nespresso machine that my stepdad just bought for me and my family to use. It's similar to a Keurig single cup coffee machine but better...it not only makes a single cup o' joe but also makes an espresso, latte or cappuccino. The coffee pods are teeny tiny but DELICIOUS, I'm actually addicted to the decaf brew right now!

I'm thankful for my Kindle. I know I've said this time and time again but I love to read. I love that it fits perfectly in my purse and I can take it with me wherever I go. My dad gave my Kindle to me for Christmas and I've managed to read three books since then! Right now I'm reading "Dear John" by Nicholas Sparks and its WONDERFUL. I'm excited to see the movie when it comes out!

I'm thankful for all the babies being brought into this world. Three of my friends are pregnant and all three are having girls!!!!!! I can't wait to meet these little ones! I'm thankful that each of my friends are having a safe and enjoyable pregnancy, it must be an incredible feeling!

I'm thankful for stylish reusable shopping totes. I like to think that I make a pretty good effort to be "green" in my everyday life. I use "green" cleaning products, I reuse plastic bags, I recycle, I use a stainless steel "Sigg" bottle for taking water with me, and I really do try and remember to bring my reusable shopping bags into Target and the grocery stores with me. I just recently got my hands on a few new ones that are made of recycled plastic and are a lot more durable than the ones that feel like cloth. There's nothing better than being stylish while being green:o)

I'm thankful for those of you who have not made a New Year resolution to eat healthy and go on diets because it keeps my Dad's restaurant VERY busy:o) ( I say this in a very joking way of course, I do wish you all the best with your resolutions!!) We are a novelty in this area and we like to think that that's what makes us successful. I'm VERY thankful for this.

I'm thankful for my down-feather puffy jacket, wool hat, gloves, scarf, Uggs and ALL things that keep me warm when I'm outside in this cold wintry weather! I'm a sucker for marketing this time of year. I will invest in anything that is comfy and cozy so that I'm nice and warm on those windy, frigid days.

I'm thankful for Gmail. I love that my emails are so organized and I don't have to struggle to find ones that I might have saved or deleted. It's SO easy to use. If you aren't using Gmail, check it out, I KNOW you'll love it as much as I do!

Happy Thursday everyone!
