Today I'm grateful to D for finally getting the switch hooked up so that we can go between the dvd player and the Wii as desired. Our old yet sturdy and working tv just doesn't have enough inputs for all the accessories available nowadays.

Today I am grateful for my crock pot, and the ease of cooking ahead, especially large batches of food to freeze in single serve portions.

Tonight I am grateful for nonstick cookware and the ease it brings to cooking up large batches of foods like chili mac or beans and rice.

Tonight I am grateful for dollar stores, especially for the cookies to be found there.

Today I'm grateful for cool water, to quench my thirst and to splash on my face whenever I get overheated.

Today I am grateful for low humidity and clear skies and a reasonably good chance that I'll get to watch the Perseids meteor shower tonight, even if it is a day or two past peak.
