I have gratitude today for...
* being excited enough for my trip that I was able to get up at 3am after only two hours sleep to drive to the airport from Avalon.
* Auntie Anne's pretzel for breakfast. After this trip it's time for the 60 Day Aruba Diet.
* my flights being on time today and for getting to CA safely.
* Becky picking me up from the airport with her cute doggie Barley. It was love at first sight. It was so great to see her. We dropped my stuff off and went to Marix Tex Mex for lunch. You've gotta love authentic Mexican.
*meeting Becky's friend Jerome and her girlfriend Jamie. I loved them both and had a great night out in West Hollywood with Becky, Jerome, Jamie and their roommate Priscilla. We went to Happy Endings, The Abbey & Buffalo Wild Wings.

I have gratitude today for...
* finishing my expenses for August and starting to work on my new territory.
* dinner at The Bellevue. I've been wanting French Onion soup so we went there. After we get home from CA it's time to cool it with going out to eat.
* Kelly getting a Smartboard for her classroom. She is so excited about it and I'm really happy for her.
* texting back and forth with Becky about my visit. I haven't spent time with just her in years. Usually when we're in CA, if I get to see her, it's very quick.
* Michelle Obama's incredible speech at the DNC. I don't care which party you belong to, I don't know how her speech could have possibly left you uninspired.
* getting everything done tonight (packing, putting stuff in the car, dealing with food in fridge) so I don't have to worry about it at 3am. Too bad my goal of getting to bed early never had a chance.
* Ray LaMontagne dates coming out, he's playing Tower Theater on 11/1!

I have gratitude today for...
* spending time reading message boards about restaurants in Aruba and planning some of the places we'll visit in November. I'm getting so excited for our trip!
* emailing the photographer who took the pictures at Starbuck's on our wedding day. I told him how much I loved them and asked if he could send them to me so I can use them in our album. He sent me a bunch, some I had never seen before! They were all great and he sent me edited high res files.
* visiting Leslie & Terry for a while this afternoon since none of us really hung out this weekend. Michaela & I played play-doh; I tried to impress her with my ability to make a present, heart & Easter bunny out of play-doh.
* dinner at La Fantana Coast in Sea Isle. We were determined to do something fun to make up for a rainy, boring weekend. It was pouring out but we still decided to go. There was a bit of a wait but the food was fantastic! We will definitely be going there again.

I have gratitude today for...
* relaxing after cleaning, watching Sex & the City reruns and reading Philly Mag. God that show was great. I haven't watched the reruns in a while and I really enjoyed them.
* walking around the shops in Avalon. I bought an adorable cover up at It's All Good and a cute dress at She Be Surfin' (for $7, originally $78!) for our Aruba trip.
* talking with Kelly this afternoon. She told me all about her classroom, all of the things she's purchased with the gift card, her wedding plans. It was great catching up. I love how close we are and have been for years. I would do anything for her and often feel guilty about how I treated her when she was younger. "If I only knew then what I know now." Don't we all feel that way about something (or many things) in our lives?
* Andy setting up a Google Voice account with a Chicago area code for me.
* posting on Facebook for advice on cameras. I have to schedule my photography class that I bought on Groupon and I'm fnally going to buy a good digital SLR camera.

I have gratitude today for...
* being able to function after getting no sleep last night. Between the bar crawl, police activity and 3 screaming kids I slept from 11-12:30 and that's about it. I still cleaned from 7-1:30 and decided there's no way I'm doing it this much next year. For the second year in a row I feel like summer is gone and I've barely seen the beach, or worked out, and didn't go to yoga once.
* Andy taking a ride to Cape May Courthouse with me so I could go to TD Bank to cash a check.
* spending time on the upstairs deck reading and napping (sort of).
* Andy making dinner; grilled chicken with roasted potatoes. I made roasted broccoli with TS's Garlic Garlic and olive oil; it was awesome!
* deciding to go to Jack's for Mr. Greengenes last show (they say ever). I wasn't sure if I wanted to go out but was glad we did in the end. Andy & I had a great time seeing them play lots of old favorites. There were several times I felt like I was in college again. Love that band, just love them.
