Post-Thanksgiving Thankful List

I am thankful...

• For water that I dare to drink out of the faucet. (memories of this... shutter...)
• For a roof over my head (even if that roof happens to belong to my parents).
• For Cafe' Rio and my new found love of their salmon tacos... my heart belongs to you.
• For the heaven sent, super sponge, magic eraser that can take permanent marker off of walls, tables, and chairs. (It doesn't work so well on garage doors though).
• For hoodies and sweat pants that can double as casual wear and pajama's.
• For Wendy's dollar menu.
• For all the conveniences of life like washers & dryers, dishwashers, and clean mold-free bathrooms. Let's just say apartment living wasn't kind to us.
• For child lock doors that foil Macie's attempt to escape James Bond style on the freeway.
• For backyards and the hope that I will someday own one.
• For nap time. Actually, my sanity is thankful for nap time.
• For Diet Coke and the tingly feeling I get every time I take a sip. I wouldn't call it an addiction... more of an intense love.
• For Wendy's dollar menu.
• For Lysol disinfectant wipes and any other types of degermifiers that make me feel at peace knowing I can sit down on my own toilet seat.
• For divinely inspired epidurals, although I would be more grateful if they just knocked me out completely.
• For a husband that loves unconditionally despite the fact that I'm a deeply flawed individual.
• For three kids that love unconditionally despite the fact that I might very well raise them to be deeply flawed individuals as well.
• For Wendy's dollar menu.
• For lots of other things too many to name like the miracle bra, the flat iron, mascara, 2 cars, the ability to make an awkward situation more awkward, for friends who stroke the ego and tell me things like, "Ginnie, honestly. That spandex does not make you look fat" and "No worries Ginnie, bangs are coming back in"... I am thankful!

And look, I crossed stitched this just for you!
