Thankful

1154374_coffee_preparation_1 

5. Sooooo thankful that so far this morning Berry Baby has only barfed once, and that he did it before the neurotic Berry Boy woke up, and that Berry Boy therefore made it to school without freaking out about The Puke.

6. For Mennonite Girls Can Cook, and the roast chicken recipe that involved laying bacon on top of the seasoned bird (have mercy)…it was the BEST roast chicken I have ever made, and those drippings made the BEST gravy, and I will totally be using that strategy on my Turkey for Monday…

7. For work, and work-from-home, and the additional money it brings in.

8. For cream cheese

9. And whipping cream.

10. For my treadmill, which allows me to run year-round, and helps me push myself, and staves off the effects of the aforementioned cream cheese and whipping cream.

11. For the rare but lovely mornings when I get to doze off and on for an hour before getting out of bed.

12. For the rare but lovely mornings when I get out of bed to hot coffee lovingly prepared for me by Berry Guy.

13. For patience in playing Lego.

14. For espresso, and that lovely crema foam on the surface of the espresso that tells you that you just made a really really good shot.

couldja just not post something to make me crave something else? Seriously. You have a beautiful way of writing... I'm going off to make supper now. Or eat an 'appetizer' while I'm making it.

Yeah, now I need cream cheese and whipping cream and coffee and sleep. But not puke or lego.
