Post of Gratefulness
It's been a while since I did a gratitude post. Let's see what I'm thankful for right now. Hmmm. ::ponders::
Spring Weather. Even though this week it's all 40s and drizzle, last week it was 60s and sunshine. I opened my windows. I was spurred into some housecleaning that was way overdue. More importantly, I have hope for more sunny, warm days in the near future. Plus? The peepers are peeping! Life is good.
My Awesome Son. Not just because he made the Principal's List again this quarter (smarty pants), but because when I least expect him to be chill, that's totally what he is. His dad came over on Saturday so we could bring him up to speed on J's living situation (he's living with his girlfriend and her three kids). My boy's concern? Is there wifi. ::rolls eyes:: He did tell J that he felt bad for him, having to live with three kids now. LOL!
My Muse. Which, while not gifting me with the words I need for my Reverse Bang, has finally given me a chance to write the birthday fic for my friend Sharon that I've been trying to write the last two years. So...this might finally be the year! Maybe!
My Not-Quite-Ex Husband. Because he remembered my birthday and gave me a card. You know who didn't send me a card? My mom, my dad, and my MIL. They all need to hang their heads in shame, because the person they mostly dump on is the one who came through. Now he just needs to come through with the child support payments, which are supposed to start up the end of this week now that he finally has a paying job. Show me the money!! Hee!
Everyone Who Remembered My Birthday. My flisties, my Shoobies, both internet wives, my grandparents, my work friends, and my aunt. My mom did end up sending an e-card and a gift, but she still has points deducted for not planning ahead. Extra points to Facebook, which helpfully notified people and filled my day with birthday greetings. ::grins::
80s Comfort Movies. I spent Saturday night watching such classics as Moonstruck, The Big Chill, Ghostbusters, and My Science Project. These are all movies I don't even really need to watch because I can recite them by heart. I spent a long, fruitless time searching for Peggy Sue Got Married, which I was sure I had on DVD but apparently do not. It is now in my Amazon cart, waiting for funding. ::grins:: IT WILL BE MINE!
