Thankful Day 19
Today I'm thankful for my job. The job market isn't that great and there are those out there who don't have a job. I feel bad and pray that they will be able to find one soon. I'm thankful that I work with some people who are wonderful and fun to work with. I'm thankful that I've been blessed with patience to handle those I don't enjoy working with. :) Having a job has made it possible for us to have a home, food, vacations and other nice things. I'm very grateful for this blessing and I hope that I never take it for granted.

Thankful Day 18
Today I am thankful for musicals. I LOVE musicals! For those who know me, know that LOVE is not quite the right word...maybe...obsessed! I wish my life was a musical. My favorite musical is The Drowsy Chaperone (with Sound of Music right behind it). For many years I couldn't say what my favorite musical was. There are so many out there that I just adored that I had a hard time picking one. Until I saw the touring company of The Drowsy Chaperone and fell in complete love!! Right now Hale Theater is performing The Drowsy Chaperone (I would have auditioned except something about just having a baby...). I saw it last night and it was REALLY good! There was only one character that I really didn't care for. It made me sad because this character is one that I really liked in the 2 touring companies I've seen. If you have the money and time, go see this show! You won't regret it. Here's a clip of it:

Thankful Day 17
Today I am super thankful for talented friends. I have so many talented friends that I feel ok not being as taleted because I can take advantage of their talents and buy the wonderful things they make. This Saturday my dear talented friends and talented mother are having a boutique. Come and buy treats, clothing, bags, candles, vinyl lettering, etc. There are so many wonderful things to buy and give as gifts for Christmas or keep for yourself. :) I'm already putting a list together of things I'm going to buy there. Also, my mom is selling her chocolates and candy and I have sampled some over the past few days...SO GOOD!! So come!! You won't regret it!!!
Thankful Day 16
Day 16
Today I am thankful for my niece and nephews. Last night I went to my mom's house after work to help her make treats for the boutique on Saturday. She ended up babysitting Fancy Nancy and Batman so I played with them so she could work on treats. We had a lot of fun. They both helping me with Perrin. While eating dinner they both made sure that Perrin had his toys to play with. Each time he dropped one they got worried and hurried and pick up his toy for him. After dinner we watched Toy Story 3 since I had never seen it before. Batman made sure Perrin had plenty of toys to play with and would make faces at him to make him laugh. Fancy Nancy played with my hair while we watched the movie. I love that! There's a part of the movie near the end where I started to tear up. Fancy Nancy and Batman noticed and said, "don't worry" and explained what was going to happen so I wouldn't be sad. Yes, they ruined the part for me but that was ok because they wanted to make sure I was ok. They are so sweet and I love them dearly!!

Behind in my Thanks!
Day 13
Today I am thankful for George Frederic Handel and his works "Messiah" (not THE Messiah as many have said, wikipedia corrected me). I am participating in a Midvale Tri-Stake production of Messiah and I also have the opportunity to sing one of the soprano solos. I usually hate hearing Christmas music before Thanksgiving but I'm ok with this music. It amazes me how much talent Handel was blessed with to be able to write all of this music. It matches perfectly with the beautiful words from the Bible.
On a side note: I do LOVE Christmas music but I feel bad for Thanksgiving getting skipped over. Yes, I treat Thanksgiving like a human being with feelings. :) heehee!! But I do prefer the old Christmas music over the teen boppers and pop starts trying to remake those songs.
Day 14
Today I'm thankful for our Primary. Today was our Primary program. The Primary Program is my favorite Sacrament meeting. It's wonderful to hear the children teach us what they have learned this year. It was also adorable not to understand the verses of the song "Follow the Prophet" but the chorus was loud and clear.
Day 15
Today I'm thankful for smiles. My favorite moment of each day is when I see Perrin for the first time in the morning and he gives me the biggest smile possible. It really starts my day off. Then when I see him after work he does the same thing. He gives me the biggest smile and giggle and is so happy to see me. It's amazing how something as simple as a smile can mean so much.

Thankful Day 12
A little bird came to me and said, "If I were blogging about being thankful this month I think today I would be thankful that we do not work on Saturdays." What a great suggestion! I should thank this little bird sometime. :)
Today I am thankful that I don't have to work on Saturdays. Yes, there's life work (dishes, laundry, cleaning, yard work, etc.) but that doesn't involve someone belittling you or people yelling at you because they don't know how to read an email. It's work I want to do and if I don't want to do it, I won't. It's wonderful to have two whole days where I don't have to have the stress of work. Too bad it's not more than two, but I'll take what I can. It's fun to be able to spend time with Hutch and Perrin and Besty and my family. It's days like Saturday's that make it possible to have Potter-A-Thons. So I'm very thankful for Saturdays!
p.s. I have to share how cute Hutch is (again). He usually packs my lunch each day for work (yes, he's that sweet). Today when I opened my Harry Potter lunch box, there was a baggie full of Cheerios. I felt like a little kid in Sacrament Meeting. It really made me smile.

Thankful Day 11
Today I am thankful for Sushi. My "Besty" Steph took me out today for lunch and we went to Simply Sushi which is an all you can eat place. Yum!! We had so much sushi, all of it was really good. I tried Unagi (turns fingers next to forehead and says "Ah salmon skin roll") and really liked it. I think the sweet sauce helps hide the fact I just ate eel.
I know you would think, "why don't you say your thankful for Steph for taking you" or you'd think "you should be thankful for a best friend who loves it as much as you!" I am very thankful for Steph but I'm going to wait for another day to thank her.
I'm showing thanks, this month, for the little things. There are a lot of big things that cause or lead up to the little things that I'm thankful for. It's just sometimes the little things aren't appreciated as much. That's why I'm being thankful for the things that aren't that obvious.
