30 Days of Thanks - Week 4

Saturday, November 24 - I am thankful my friend Megan had the opportunity to go for her dream of getting her PhD.  She is in the middle of the process, and it hasn't been easy, but she is such a hard-worker I know she will get through it and be so glad she did!!

Sunday, November 25 - I am thankful that I live in the East Coast. I love going through all four seasons... fall being my favorite of course! Snow in the winter, watching flowers bloom in the spring, the heat of summer, and the beautiful colors of fall. It's wonderful!

Monday, November 26 -  I am thankful for beer... especially Pumpkin beer... YUM.

Tuesday, November 27 -  I am thankful for Hulu, where I can watch all my favorite TV shows in one spot... New Girl, The Mindy Project, Private Practice, Modern Family, Glee, Big Bang Theory... so much TV, so little time.

Wednesday, November 28 -  After getting wrapped up in the Powerball and dreaming of being a millionaire, I am thankful for what I already have... I am blessed!

Gathered $230 at work to buy 115 tickets...

Thursday, November 29 - I am thankful for my car... which is almost paid off!  SO CLOSE!!  I've had my Sentra for almost 5 years and it has been good to me!  :)

My car after one of the big blizzards in Feb 2010.... next to Meg's Saturn (RIP).

Friday, November 30 - I am thankful this is over! hahaha!! No, really... one more...
