tgif… the big ten

Alrighty… it’s Friday, so here are the things I’m thankful for:

(I find that it’s easier to be grateful on a Friday…)

1. There’s nothing I have to do tomorrow. An actual weekend. I would jump for joy, but I’m too tired. Inwardly, however, I am one bundle of unrestrained enthusiasm.

2. After a crazy hectic work week, everyone started playing nice again today.

3. It poured rain today and I could hear it on the roof at work as I drank some green tea (my favorite). My own little zen moment.

4. It was cold outside and rainy, so I had tomato soup with Cheetos in it for lunch. Perfection.

5. Immediately after work, threw on some pj’s and fell asleep for an hour and a half, listening to the rain on the roof.

5. Someone put me on their blog link list and called my site “Good honest spunky writing.” If that doesn’t make your day… Spunky I am.

6. Matt Damon. I mean, that my brother and I are going to see the Bourne Supremacy tonight once he gets off work.

7. Josh (of the Nerdery fame) said “attrition” in his weblog. I love it when people use good words.

8. I’ve been asked to continue writing small group materials for retreats, etc., for a church in Bham. Major compliment. (I wrote one for summer camp and apparently found my niche. I came alive writing that puppy.)

9. The Starbucks Double Shot commercial, set to Eye of the Tiger. “Glen! Glen, glen, glen! Glen glen glen! Glen glen glen… Glen’s the man, going to work…” Commercials just don’t get any better than that.

10. Kevin has rebegun his blog. Excellent… the war of words has begun.

Things I’m grateful for today…

Picked myself up some flowers today!  Gerberas are so cheerful…
