Three days of being grateful

As sent to M&D on Sunday:

1. My new bangles and getting a pedicure tomorrow with my new chanel nail polish.
2. Getting the contents of my closet off my bedroom floor and back into my closet.
3. Making pasta sauce from scratch and having leftovers for tomorrow.
4. 37 degree weather today - no gloves necessary!
5. Not having to get up for work tomorrow.
6. Talking to Lizzie on her birthday and having her sound happy.
7. Getting into my new book - "The Elegance and the Hedgehog"
8. Emailing a list of EIGHT things that make me happy to my parents.

For Monday:

1. Seeing Micah and Nicole et al. Such great people!
2. Going to Whole Foods and buying mostly non-processed foods.
3. Getting my new spice tins up on the fridge.
4. Making beef stew and having it turn out pretty well.
5. Discovering Band of Brothers and having the whole mini-series to look forward to on demand (and hopefully having the willpower to space it out so I have something to look forward to throughout the week).
6. Feeling at rest in the apt.
7. Being able to get internet in my apt again

Today:

1. Dreaming about Brian.
2. Calm tea at the lunch meeting.
3. Ordering Band of Brothers and Blackhawk Down from amazon so I can look forward to reading them when I finish my current book.
(And because I'm trying to be positive, I won't make any comments about how depressing it is that I can only think of three things to be gratful for today because its antithetical to the exercise).
4. I guess I'm grateful that this experience has cemented for me how to spell grateful (not greatful).

Several hours later...

5. Ebene Quartet + two glasses of wine on a nearly empty stomach = relaxation and the perfect buzz.
6. Another episode of Band of Brothers.
7. Talking to Shirley for the perfect amount of time.
8. Seeing 127 on the scale at the end of the day (which means I have hope for a 125 tomorrow morning).
