• unexpectedly having Chandler want to spend the night with a friend, leaving me a night at home alone with Joey
• a lovely dinner at Cheddar's
• knowing that Howard and I can still count on each other to be there despite living in different towns

Monday, January 3rd:

• spending the day with Joey
• getting an extra night with Chandler because Chris picked up an extra shift at work
• watching movies cuddled up on the couch with Chandler
• the fact that Joey and I work well together when fixing things around the apartment

Thursday, January 6th:

• getting lots of time this week to hang out with Joey before school starts next week  :(
• getting to hang out with Doug and Alicia...it's always such a great time
• making a bracelet for an awesome little girl...knowing she'll be excited to get it in the morning
• watching Doug and Joey play Call of Duty: Black Ops together
• me and Joey being silly and having the most random combination of food for dinner
• inappropriate Google searches
• getting to talk to Cece on the phone
• Monica Geller from Friends
• getting to kiss Joey everyday...it's amazing

Thanks! Merci! Gracias! Mahalo! Misaotra! Danke!

I've been wanting to blog for awhile, but I always find reasons why I shouldn't or can't.  However, I recently wrote this note listing some of the things I was thankful for this year and stating that I wished people made a conscious effort to be thankful more often.  In an effort to do this myself (and as an excuse to blog), I decided I would blog every day (or as close to that as possible), for one year, about what I'm thankful for.  My note was from Friday, November 26th...so I'll start with November 27th.

Saturday, November 27th -

• the deliciousness that is Cheddar's Spasagna
• lounging around the house and doing nothing all day
• Googling inappropriate images (i.e.-boobs)
• Midori sours
• not knowing what chips to get at the store, so buying all 4 bags that sound good (only to like 1)
• serious conversations that make relationships stronger
• giving backrubs
• feeling completely secure and comfortable in my relationship with Joey

Sunday, November 28th -

• sleeping in as late as I want to
• leftover pumpkin pie (covered in Cool Whip)
• being fortunate enough to get to take insanely long showers with hot water
• Jason Aldean's new album
• chipmunks singing Katy Perry and Beyonce songs
• drinking hot chocolate on a cold night
• cuddling up on the couch and watching a movie with Chandler
• Imo's canadian bacon and pineapple pizza
• getting backrubs on the couch
• John Cusack

I'd love to know what everyone else is thankful for each day, so feel free to comment!  Here's to a year of thanks!
