Inspired by the illustrious Nina (who I know in real life but whose blog I only discovered recently) and by my own desire to quit moaning and groaning all the time on this blog, here's my "grateful list" for today... For little sweet middle-of-the-day text messages from I. For this stunning 70+-degree day at the end of March and the little lonely but glowing crocus in front of my house For my supervisor who sent me home with a laptop and told me not to show my face in the office all week For my disgusting dirty house that will be sparkling clean in about 3 hours For the $12 in my pocket that's going to buy me a bottle of white wine as soon as I finish cleaning For the 7-pound being that keeps walking back and forth across the keyboard as I type because she really, really wants some lovin' For my friends who keep leaving me voice mails even when I am a punk-ass about returning phone calls For the basket full of yarn that makes me think that maybe I'm creative even when I don't feel that way at all For the drawer full of mangoes and avocadoes in my fridge

What are you grateful for this Friday night?

grateful for:

-Having the resources to pursue this whole fertili/adoption-coaster

-The crocuses in my garden, shining in the sun this morning

-The intern who kept me from having to cut up 200 cardboard squares at work this morning

-The 14 pound (!) furball lolling on my lap as I type

-My family, for loving both of us so very much... -------- COMMENT-AUTHOR:Blogger King Noah COMMENT-DATE:9:51 PM COMMENT-BODY:Yeap, after receiving news that 7 more couple in our pool adopted, I kind of need to dig deep inside to find things to be grateful for.
I am grateful for:
- The pistachios and glass of wine that were waiting for me when I came back from work tonight.
- The spring fever that is turning trees and bushes in my yard absolutely crazy with delightful colors.
- The nice dinner that my DH is preparing for me right now.
- The hope that I still have despite having waited over 13 months in the pool. -------- COMMENT-AUTHOR:Blogger Barb COMMENT-DATE:6:56 AM COMMENT-BODY:-a day off
-my cool bubble apartment
-a job that allows me to grow
-an enormous gray furball who doesn't have the inclination to come near me at the moment
-my sweetie
-good blogger buddies.
