I have gratitude today for...
* my car passing inspection and only needing $25 windshield wipers.
* running errands with Andy this morning.
* playing outside in the leaves with Jeffrey & James while Andy & I raked the front lawn.
* our afternoon with the boys. We were supposed to use a gift card we bought for Jeffrey's birthday (in Feb.) to Crazy City. I was really disappointed when we discovered they shut down. There was so much more to do for the boys since they are still little but we made the best of it by going to ChuckE Cheese's.
* learning my lesson about gift cards. You can't wait so long to use them!!
* spending time with Jeffrey & James at the house after ChuckE Cheese's. We had (a very short) naptime, snacks and played in the backyard.
* James's finger being ok. It was shut in the bathroom door and my heart broke while he cried. I think I was more upset than he was because he was ready to go outside and play ball within 3 minutes.
* going out Trick or Treating with the little ones. Narberth had lots of kids out and it was fun to see a neighborhood that was busy with trick-or-treaters.
* trying Five Guys for the first time with Andy & Mrs. Roth. The fries were incredible and the burger was good. I didn't think it was life changing like many people insist, but I'm not a diehard burger girl either :-)

I have gratitude today for...
* Trader Joe's cheap wine selection. Stocked up for Holden Beach!
* my visit with Chrissy and Bella. She is getting so big and is really cute.
* yummy chicken salad for lunch with Mom & Dad.
* the photo shoot I did with my friend Michael Franken at Sayen Gardens. Mom came along and we had a great time playing in the leaves, rocks and trees while Michael used us as subjects for his shoot. It was a beautiful fall afternoon. What a great experience!
* shopping with Mom at the Quakerbridge Mall.
* dinner with Mom and Dad before I left to come home.
* narrowly missing a really bad pile up accident on the PA turnpike. I had to slam on my brakes as it happened and was only four or five cars back. There were cars everywhere and one was on its side, completely smashed. It was very scary and I felt numb as I drove by. I was reminded what a difference a few seconds can make in our lives.

I have gratitude today for...
* a great meeting with another attorney that may advertise this month.
* chicken with broccoli chinese food for lunch.
* meeting with John this afternoon to discuss time management. I think when we finish this project it will help make us all more successful.
* realizing I forgot the gift cards for dinner before I left Norristown and having time to come home and get them. 
* dinner at Erini with Kerry, Lisa, Terri & Nicole. We had a great girls night talking, laughing and drinking wine. 
* going back to Kerry's after with Terri & Nicole and talking till 2am. 

I have gratitude today for...
* a nice Italian dinner with Andy.
* setting a date for Jess's Tastefully Simple party. I hope to start doing more parties.

I have gratitude today for...
* getting through today since I was really tired from not being able to sleep last night.
*find a great rate for the Holiday Inn in West Chester for the alumni get together on Dec. 4th. Can't wait to have a night out in West Chester with my Phi Sig girls.
* the awesome website Vera Bradley has and the fun order I placed today; some for me, some for others. :-)
