down comforters

I love down comforters.  I love when I am being lazy, pulling one down onto the couch and cuddling up- which is exactly what I did this afternoon.  I am thankful for down comforters to cuddle in to!

"family time"

I am thankful for "family time" where we pull Wrigley in the middle of us in bed in the morning and cuddle!  It is one of my favorite parts of the weekend!

The new Friday night out

So it used to be that Friday nights to me were all about getting ready, pre-drinking at someones house or apt, and then going to the bars until 2 or 3 am.  Luckily, our Friday nights have changed some since then!We usually still hang out with friends, but it is much more low key.  Last night, we went to dinner with 3 couples and hung out there for a while.  We ran into another couple we hang out with and chatted with them for a bit, and had a great night!  The best part was we got home at a decent hour, and woke up feeling great today!  I am thankful for what our Friday nigths have morphed into now that we are becoming "grown-ups".  Man, I am officially old... and I must say, I enjoy it! :)

Finishing a book

I love reading.  I know I have said that on here before, but I could say it a million times.  It is my absolute favorite hobby ever and always has been! I love when you get to that point in a book where you literally can not put it down because you just have to know what happens!  I have been reading a book this week ("Magic Hour" by Kristin Hannah) and got to that point on Thursday where I didn't care that all the best tv was coming on, I just wanted to crawl in my bed and finish my book.  So I did. :)  I am thankful for my love of reading and for the joy (and sadness! You fellow book lovers will know what I mean) of  finishing a good book.

Caffeine

I have been doing the Daniel Fast this week (basically you eat fruits, vegetables, and whole grains).  I realized that I am incredibly addicted to caffeine, even though all I really normally have is a cup of coffee in the morning.  Since I started, I have been irratable and have had the worst headache though. Not fun at all! I have let myself cheat and have a small cup of coffee each morning, but only with soy milk and no sugar.  Needless to say, I have learned that I am very thankful for caffeine! (And so are the people around me! At our grade level meeting one of my friends told me, "Please go drink a cup of coffee!" Haha!)

Taking it easy

I had my dinner club with some friends Monday night and didn't get home until after 10 and then had some things to do at home, so didn't get to bed until about 11.  On Tuesday I was go, go, go (as usual- that is my busy day) with school, meeting after school, and then babysitting.  I usually have bible study on Tuesday nights, but I had the worst headache and was so worn out, that I went home from babysitting and got straight into bed!  I am thankful for nights when I can just take it easy and just crawl into my covers!

Homemade Pumpkin Spice Latte

So on Monday (yes, I am having to go back that far because I'm behind again), I made a pumpin spice latte in my latte maker and it was out of this world delicious....dare I say it; possibly even better than Starbucks! I am thankful for my homemade pumpkin spice latte!
