Thanksgiving...or just being thankful.


It's time for the first-ever THANKFUL THURSDAY! :)

I've done posts on gratitude, but I don't think I've ever dubbed them "Thankful Thursdays" before. So, here goes (hopefully this can be a somewhat-weekly thing). Also, I know I was doing NaBloPoMo, but...it seems I've failed this year; however, I'm not terribly upset because it means I've been too busy living to sit around and blog! :)

That being said, here are a few things I'm thankful for today:
  • Domino's pizza + a walk with my new roommate Lyndi to pick it up + a coupon from another roommate to pay for the pizza.
  • Sitting and talking/laughing/eating pizza with Lyndi outside Domino's while being approached by some young guy who asked us to pay $25 for a suncatcher to support his supposed fundrasier. No thanks.
  • Getting my Spanish test out of the way. One down, one to go.
  • Studying for the Spanish test with a friend who makes up little clues to help me remember things and somewhat distracts me with no smiling contests (even if the game was my idea).
  • Looking forward to "Free Dinner Thursday" even if I'm still feeling a little full from the pizza.
  • Knowing Thanksgiving Break is just around the corner: family, food, friends, and home.
  • Friends who believe in me and encourage me to take risks, stretch myself, and try new things! (thanks Kelly, Lyndi, and Sam!).
  • The warm weather! I love snow, but I haven't minded the extended fall season this year.
  • Talking to my sisters on the phone multiple times each week.
  • Having a mom who will make any food I want when I come home. Looking forward to homemade cinnamon rolls.
  • Being able to finally watch movies at our home here! Yay!

Ok, those are a few things. What are you thankful for?
