Because I Know What’s REALLY Important
Yes. I’m thankful for family, friends, my home, my financial security…etc. But let’s talk about what I’m really thankful for, shall we?
- I’m thankful that Jumbo Eggs don’t seem to make any huge difference in a recipe that calls for Large eggs. At least not in the recipes I’m using for the contribution to the family trip to Slidell, LA tomorrow.
- I’m thankful that my car holds 7 people. It makes 6+ hour road trips much more bearable. The DVD player doesn’t hurt either.
- I’m thankful for SmartWool socks. SERIOUSLY. They are totally outrageously priced but I have a few pairs after big splurges and I’m always totally depressed when they’re all dirty.
- I’m thankful for the Pink and White Volkswagon Bus I see driving around South Huntsville. It makes me happy and totally envious every time I see it. Dear Santa, I WANT A PINK AND WHITE VOLKSWAGON BUS!
- I’m thankful for snowglobes and snowmen. They are my two favorite things about Christmas decor. I’m doubly thankful for snowglobes with snowmen. It’s like the most perfect Christmas knickknack.
- I’m thankful for The Pioneer woman. Without her I wouldn’t have anything to bring to Slidell for our Thanksgiving trip.
- I’m thankful for soft pillows. I don’t like firm pillows.
- I’m thankful for capri spandex. They allow me to keep my ass covered during bootcamp (shorts are a bit too revealing during some excercises) but aren’t big bulky sweatpants which are impossible to move around in.
- I’m thankful for our Garbage Man. He has learned to look for us and he waves now every garbage day. Some days he even honks. Makes Wes SO HAPPY.
I bet that the sight of you & little Wes waiting to wave totally makes that garbage man’s day <3
what? those things ARE really important!
What recipes did you make? I want to make her pecan pie!
I love the pink VW bus! I’ve seen it on occasion during my weekly trips down south parkway.
We’re headed to NOLA this weekend. Such a beautiful time of year down there; no humidity!
Ah but it’s finding the joy in those little things that really IS so important. And I love that the garbageman waves at Wes – too cute.
I covet that VW bus SO INTENSELY! I love it so deep. And I love that you love it, too!
Happy t-day travels, Zoots!
What are you making for Thanksgiving from PW’s site? I am doing the sweet potato casserole. Happy Thanksgiving Zoots!
Everything I am cooking this year is a PW recipe. Turkey Brine. Mashed Potatoes. Stuffing. Rolls.
Oh, wait. I’m making gingerbread cake and that’s not hers. But everything else!
Great list. I’ll have to do my own!
I’m thankful for many, many things … but I’m also thankful for bloggers such as you. You inspire me as a mom and a writer. Thank you for sharing your life and experiences and beautiful family with the rest of us. (Plus you have the best first name ever).
Happy Holidays to you and yours!!!
