Thankful Thursday

Are you shocked I am starting off with being thankful for a book? Of course you aren't.....but I must say that this evening this has been the perfect book. The wittiness...yes...it surpasses my own. Here I am...Alone in my living room in yes the night owl zone otherwise known as 2am....laughing right out loud because the author described an Amish salve as smelling like "the inside of the ton-ton from the Start Wars movie The Empire Strikes Back."  Bwa ha ha ha! oh how I wish I had thought to say that first. Or later when she was describing how men and women give directions. She said "Men give street names, direction, mileage, and everything short of GPS coordinates. Women tell you to turn left at the second garden gnome." And see now my husband is laughing as he reads this because that is so me.....This enjoyable book had been a very nice start to four....FOUR...days off. So much so I just popped over to Amazon and found a used copy of book 2 for a mere $4 and it is headed this way. You know so I won't be in danger of running out of things to read.....

I am also so thankful for

• I made it thru the day and got all my work done so I can be off tomorrow
• I survived kids hope bowling
• That I realized that it's ok that I bowled a um......28......cause bowling is just not one of monogirl's gifts. If you need something cooked, scrapbooked, crafted, drawn, sung, typed, crocheted or hugged.....well then I'm your girl. Bowling not so much. Even though my little friend took it upon herself to get me a pink ball.....is that not the cutest?
• A hug and new closeness from my kids hope friend
• Books
• Days off
• Dates night at the drive in
• The steaks we bought to grill on memorial day
• Friend's prayers and support
• Scarves in my hair
• Blogging
• Miss Sophie
• A husband who gets groceries
• Ok and a husband who gets me
• The McDonalds lady telling me I looked pretty today
• Sunday naps 
• Our wedding anniversary coming up soon
• Fresh strawberries
• Sandals
• Chicken salad sandwiches
• Old photos
• Scripture
• Beach time starting
• New pedal pushers
• Painting water color pics
• My BFF
• That it's 3:45am and I don't even have to care because I don't have to be anywhere or do anything tomorrow.....or should I say later today?

And for now I bid you goodnight.....or good morning if you are an early riser! Ha 

Blessings!
