I have gratitude today for...
* sleeping in after a late night last night
* decorating the Christmas tree and house for the holidays. I'm trying to get into the Christmas spirit, usually I'm really excited but this year I feel like everything has been so rushed!
* yum Chinese for lunch.
* starting to write out Christmas cards. I always put thought into writing out the cards and take the time to write a message in every one. It would be so much easier just to sign our names, but I don't feel they mean as much.
* Mrs. Roth making a roasted chicken dinner for us tonight.
* the Biggest Loser. Of all the reality TV out there these days I think it sends a great message and has influenced thousands of people to be healthier.
* finally getting a plan together for Christmas weekend. I've been stressed about making everyone happy.

I have gratitude today for...
* Jeff & Megan visiting this morning with the boys. We always love seeing them on the weekends!
* finally dragging all of my sweaters out of the shed and putting all of my summer stuff away. I'm facing the reality that winter is upon us.
* Jess picking me up and giving me a ride to West Chester.
* lots of laughs at Jake's with Jess, Nicole and Tina before the Alumnae Dinner.
* seeing lots of old friends at the Alumnae dinner, especially Kate, Julia, Jen, Abby, Beckman, Kossler, Marisa, Jess, Tina, Nicole.
* really good food at the Holiday Inn, it was better than I expected!
* good times with everyone at the bars, it was a typical 2am night in West Chester.
* Jess giving me a ride home so Andy didn't have to pick me up.

I have gratitude today for...
* remembering I had two meetings with clients since I almost wore jeans to work today.
* not having to go to Philly often for my job. Between the parking, traffic, walking, cold temps, and having to show ID before you go into a building to drop off a magazine sample it's quite a hassle. I had 2 meetings and prospected 2 attorneys in 6 hours. I felt like I had accomplished nothing.
* accepting that traffic is guaranteed to be horrific on Friday afternoons in Philly because there was nothing I could do about the hour and a half it was going to take for me to get home.
* my stop at Marshalls on the way home, buying a few new sweaters made me feel better about my day :-)
* walking into the house and finding a huge bowl of mashed potatoes and chuck roast with homemade gravy awaiting my arrival. Mrs. Roth didn't know all I had eaten so far was some green bean casserole at lunchtime.
* Grey's Anatomy and Private Practice being new this week.
* watching the Villanova game with Andy tonight. We were supposed to go to the game but things got messed up with the guy he was buying tickets from. It was nice just to relax tonight after such a crazy day.

I have gratitude today for...
* Beckman calling to tell me she is pregnant! I guess the baby parade will be going on for a while :-) I'm so happy for her and Ed. She's going to be such a great mom!
* Megan meeting me at Cirillo for their annual Holiday Open House. We learned a lot about skin care from Colleen and I scheduled a massage for Christmas week (and got 20% off!) The food was really good too.
* stopping by Green Street in Bryn Mawr. I found a great gift for Kelly and an awesome little black dress for me (for $8!!) Megan had some great finds too.
* going with Megan to pick up the boys from school. It's such a cute place and it was fun to see where they spend their days.
* hanging out in Narberth for a while. Jeffrey makes me laugh every time I see him and I love it! The best thing he said to me today was "Why you leaving? Can you come back tomorrow?"
* watching the Eagles game with Andy tonight. They win again!

I have gratitude today for...
* being able to mend another bad situation with another school that was unhappy with the way they were handled by another sales rep. It makes me feel good when clients tell me they are happy I reached out to them and look forward to working with me.
* being able to offer a free ad to the school I smoothed over yesterday for our December issue. I know I was able to make my contact look really good to her bosses and she needed that after how messed up her profiles were in October.
* the excellent chicken fajita dinner I made tonight for Andy & me.
* getting the bathrooms cleaned. The whole house needs to be scrubbed---the bathrooms were a start.
* on-line shopping. In the last couple days I've gotten half of my Christmas shopping done sitting on my couch :-) Love the free shipping!
