Twenty-five Unusual Things I Am Grateful For.

In the spirit of the season, I will now share twenty-five things I am truly grateful for:

1. I got away with twelve years between colonoscopies. Score!
2. Costco put laminate flooring on sale in 2007, making this year's puppy "accidents" no big deal.
3. My lack of interest in cooking means I don’t have to remodel my 1982 kitchen.
4. My husband acts as my Filipino houseboy and takes care of indoor things.
5. My husband acts as my Mexican gardener and takes care of the landscaping.
6. My husband laughs when I say this and adds, "And I'm her Latin lover."
7. Viagra.
8. The chance to hug my 27-year-old, 6'3" cover model and not be accused of anything untoward.
9. The word untoward.
10. The word scarletted – which I made up. And use frequently.
11. Staying up until midnight, or later, every night. Then I climb into:
12. our Sleep-Number bed, with 3" memory foam topper, and down pillows. Heaven.
13. Dollar Store magnifying readers.
14. Costco. Obviously.
15. The BBC sitcom "Miranda" on Hulu Plus and YouTube. You're welcome.
16. Free soda refills.
17. Hard Rock Cafés in other countries, which give free soda refills.
18. British Air, which flies to London non-stop from Phoenix every day, so I can go to the original Hard Rock Café and get free soda refills.
19. That Keurig comes in a travel size.
20. Real butter, cheese, and bacon.
21. Cheap cholesterol meds.
22. Cable.
23. Android smart phones.
24. Wine. (Kinda pissed at beer for having so many carbs and calories, I gotta be honest…)
25. And, of course: Laughter.

Have a wonderful Thanksgiving!
