Week of Thanks...Tuesday

I asked Hailee tonight what the top 5 things were that she's thankful for this year.  I looked back on last year's list and it's very similar. Turns out that I haven't screwed her up in the last year and she still places value in the "right" things. Yay for me!  Here is her list:

1. Family

2. Friends

3. Pets

4. Food

5. Shelter

Since her list is so good, I thought maybe I'd come up with my top-5-things-I-am-thankful-for-but-would-never-say-at-the-dinner-table-list:

1. That Jillian Michaels can't hear me while I'm working out to her DVD.  Pretty sure she could, and would, kick my ass if she knew what I was yelling at her.

2. That I can go four days easy without washing my hair and you really can't tell.  It might not smell great, but it totally doesn't get greasy.  

3. That I can walk away from potato chips, no problem.  Tortilla chips, cheese, chocolate, cake and cookies, no.  But potato chips, yes.

4. Kitty litter that clumps. Pure genius.

5. That I don't have to share a bathroom with the boys at work anymore. Our new building actually has a women's restroom...and I've yet to run into another woman in it!

Of course, I have my own list of the truly important items that I couldn't live without and feel so blessed to have.  But it's late, and I'm tired and I just can't pull off the meaningful and well thought out list.  So instead, you get the quick and random list of things that come across my mind often.  All wonderful things in Kari's Korner...
