Things I am Thankful for Thursday #39

1) I am thankful for my pets! I know I have said that before, and I know I say it often. But seriously, they are hilarious! They crack me up, and they love me no matter what. If I come home from a bad day, and I yell at them, they still love me, wanna be all over me, and give me kisses. It's the best!

2) I am thankful that next week is Thanksgiving! I cannot wait to see my in-laws, and my parents, grandparents, AND my friend Cassi! Gonna be fun!

3) I am thankful that I do not have kids. I think I might have said this before, but I'm saying it again. I don't know how people go to school, work, and have kids and are a single parent sometimes. I love kids, but some days I just don't have the patience that it takes to be a parent. It's a good thing I don't have kids... at the moment. :)

4) I am thankful that gas here is so cheap!!! I LOVE paying under $3.00/gallon! It's great! Especially after living in CA for 4 years... It never got over $5 while I was there, but it got pretty close to $5 a couple of times. That was kind of a scary feeling.

5) I am thankful that I am a MUCH happier person than I was about 6 years ago. I was not a very happy person, and I used alcohol to make me happy. And while I had fun back then, no doubt, I look back and realize that I was a very unhappy person. I am so thankful that I am not that person today!

Things I am Thankful for Thursday #38

Woo hoo!! On time this week!!! :)

1) I am thankful that my mom and dad raised me to think for myself! No matter what they believed in, they still taught me to think for myself and make decisions for myself. Not based on what others say or do. Thank god for that!!!

2) I am thankful that (most) of my friends and I can still be civil even if we don't have the same beliefs. I have freinds that are Christian, Catholic, Republican, Democratic, Liberal, and Conservative. And luckily (mostly) we can all be grown ups and be civil to one another.

3) I am thankful that I found a great vet here in Lubbock!! Sometimes it's hard to find a good vet. Especially if you are still relitively new to an area. So thankful and lucky to have found one!

4) On that note, I am thankful for my pets! They are sooo funny! Even when they are being brats, they are still pretty funny!

5) I am thankful to have the job I have with and with the people I work with! I seriously wouldn't trade them for anything! (Unless of course someone offered me a job paying $20/hour ;)) LOL!! But really, I have met some awesome people at work, and I appreciate them very much!

Things I am Thankful for Thursday #37

WOW!! I've been REALLY slacking lately! It's been 2 weeks since my last post. It's been a crazy couple of weeks. But hopefully I can keep up again now! So, instead of my usual 5, or my sometimes 10 things I am thankful for, I guess I need to go with 15 things this week since I am so far behind.

1) I am thankful that I got to see my husband last week for a few days. It's not terribly often we get to see each other or spend time together because of his work. So any chance we get, we enjoy it!

2) I am thankful that I got a class dropped with no issues. I'm not thrilled that I had to drop it, but at the sametime, it's a lot less stress. So, I'll take it!

3) I am thankful that I didn't spend over $25 on a halloween costume this year! I made my own, so it made it cheaper on me!

4) I am thankful that I can be crafty, and make diaper wipe cases. They're fun to make, and people enjoy them. So it's cool that something I enjoy doing, other people enjoy the product.

5) I am thankful that it's already November 1!! This year is going by sooooo fast! I am kind of liking that though.

6) I am thankful that I should be getting to go see family a couple of times this month.

7) I am thankful that Halloween is over. While I love Halloween, I'm just glad it's over!

8) I am thankful that Brad has the job he does. It's weird that he makes the money he does now, but it's also been so nice having that money too!

9) I'm thankful that I live somewhere that gas is NOT over $4. I got gas yesterday and paid $3.09/gallon. That's pretty awesome!

10) I am thankful for the people I have met since I moved from CA. I know this one has been said several times. But I really am. They've all become an awesome part of my life.

11) I am thankful that I don't live on the East coast, and thankful that none of my friends that live that way were affected too bad. Most any of my friends and family got was just wind and some rain. Also, thankful that a friend of mine, who went to NJ over the weekend, and made it on Monday, has been staying safe! Him and some of his crew from New Mexico went that way to help in anyway they can. He's an EMT/Fire fighter.

12) I am thankful that daylight savings time is about to be happening in a few days!! This is my favorite time change of the year!! Even though we don't really get an extra hour of sleep, I sure do like feeling like we do for a few days!

13) I am thankful that it's almost Thanksgiving!! I LOVE thanksgiving! Love the food! Love seeing family (when I get to)! I just love it all!!

14) I am thankful that I have a job I enjoy. It's pretty rare that people have a job they actually enjoy. And pretty much all of my jobs in the past, I have not really enoyed.

15) I am thankful for my crazy fur babies! They are crazy, and sometimes annoying, but I love them anyway! They are really entertaining!!
