I really appreciate that I can stick my foot so far down my throat that my toes are peeking out of my butt, and I can still apologize to my friends. And they TOTALLY understand what I was meaning to say, even though it came out completely wrong.

I'm thankful that I have enough room on my credit card to buy our plane tickets. I'll be paying them all off for the next two years, but these memories will last forever. Not only for us, but for the great-grandparents as well.

Even though I don't get it now, I'm compiling a list or resources and skills. One day I'll get it right.

I'm grateful that Taryn has the good sense that when she puts a dog treat in her mouth when I'm not watching, she spits it out, squinches up her nose and does her baby "yeck" to show her unappreciation for that particular taste. A foodie in training?

I'm glad I had the foresight to start teaching Taryn sign language. She only knows a few words, but it has made feeding her so much easier. And for that, today I am grateful.

It's 9:17am, and I have nothing to do at work. I am super grateful to have the time to blog, take care of personal stuff, appointments, thank you cards, etc, and still make $0.36 per minute. Ha.

Yesterday, a man from work brought in oranges from his garden. I had some spinach from the organic delivery, and wilted that with slivered toasted almonds, red onion, chopped oranges, honey and a touch of salt. I feel lucky to be able to cook with fresh organic veggies every day.
