Oh heeeeey there, Thursday. You’re looking swell. Oh, what’s that Thursday? You say you’re less than a month away from my birthday? So glad you remembered! How about I repay you with a list of gratitude?

THINGS THAT MADE ME SMILE THIS WEEK:

• HEAT and HOT WATER because so many people are without right now. 😦
• Dax’s “Trick or Treat” jammies.
• All of Dax’s jammies, actually. Footies for the win!
• Barbecue chicken pizza. “Vegan” style.
• Brainstorming and song writing.
• Playing Libby’s REAL piano! I want one of my own so badly, but this will do! (Weighted keys, where have you been all my life?!)
• People who have asked, “How can I pray for you?” and meant it.
• AMBIEN.
• Lazy Saturdays with college football and my boys.
• Playing music with my friends.
• Staying at church until almost 10PM because a certain baby boy was passed out on my chest.
• Being productive.
• Seeing my friends start dating each other!
• Snuggling on the couch watching The Daily Show with Hamlet and Romeo. (Poor attention-starved kitties.)
• Getting ADORABLE pictures sent to me by the girl who watches Dax on Tuesday. (See above. Is he not a lady killer? A chunky one at that!)
• Election night drinking games.
• And, of course, BARACK OBAMA!
• Also: White People Mourning Romney. Because duh.
• The Internet, for that matter.
• Leftovers.
• Jeopardy!
• gChat/IM at work.
• Coffee.
• The sweet card my hubs got for me completely unprovoked.
• “Small is beautiful.”
• My friends. Period.

What do you love this week? It’s okay if you say Mitt Romney. We’re all friends here.
