Thankful

image via drive thru this

Ever come up with a blog post idea only to find that you’ve already done it? I thought it would be nice to tell you about what I am thankful for, but apparently I already did that last year. Of course, I’m still going to do it. I think it’s a good thing to remind yourself what you are thankful for!

So, I’m thankful…

…for Alex. Even when I am super exasperated with him, he still makes me laugh and then I forget why I am so annoyed at him. Good skills, boy.

…for friends who are amazing, despite the distance. (not forgetting friends who are close by, you’re pretty ace too)

…for Fern, she may be a super stupid spaniel, but she’s very cute and sweet. Except when she wakes me up by licking my face and having dog breath. Not cool, spaniel.

…for my job – it’s kinda strange being a permament member of staff again after 4 years, but I am so grateful that I have a job I quite enjoy doing (and that my jury duty happened when I wasn’t temping!)

…for big cups of tea, pop tarts (POP TARTS!), seaweed crack and peppermint white hot chocolates at Starbucks (Sorry Starbucks employees, I have taken to apologising to you before I order because my order is getting ridiculous for ONE DRINK)

…for discovering that my body *can* go to the gym and *can* do stuff there. It’s not really something I’ve talked about on here, but it’s quite strange (but nice!) to find that actually, I quite enjoy going to the gym. (It’s just the getting there in the cold, dark and rain that’s painful)

…for my crazy family, because they understand why I do stuff (and my dad is getting super competitive with me about losing weight. “I’ve lost 2 more stones than you!” “Daddy, you have a hell of a lot more than me to lose though” That didn’t go down well. Heh.)

…for blogging – yes, I get driven crazy by the community (didn’t you see my blog annoyances post?) but I love that sometimes, just sometimes, bloggers can come together to do some good. (I assume you’ve bought a ticket for the bloggers tea party next month in aid of Macmillan. If not, you probably should hurry, there’s only 2 tickets left at the time I write this!)

…for Twitter, because each year, I meet more and more awesome new people. I know that so many people write Twitter off as a waste of time, but I know I would not be where I am right now without it.

…for PORKS. Yeah, you knew that would be on the list. (I’m hoping the quote in the image comes true on this point ;))

Soooooooooooooooooo, what are you thankful for? Link me to your blog posts if you do a similar kind of post!
