I\u2019m introducing a new feature here until I either run out of stuff to say or until I get bored with it. I blog I read regularly (Sprogblogger) has a daily list of things she\u2019s grateful for, just to keep things in perspective. She may not always write a post, but she always has her list. I\u2019m stealing it, in that whole copying being the highest form of flattery thing. I hope she thinks so, too.<\/p>\n
1. The first crisp, cool morning of Fall. I\u2019m not a huge fan of Fall. It goes by much too quickly and then we\u2019re right into gray and depressing winter, but the first crisp morning is heavenly.<\/p>\n
2. Last night #1 and I got a Dr Pepper slurpee at 7-11. It\u2019s instant brain freeze in a cup which makes us laugh and it\u2019s tasty too. It\u2019s happiness in a cup for the bargain price of $.69. Where else can you get such a bargain?<\/p>\n
3. #2 is at his grandparents\u2019 house in Texas for 10 days. From what I can tell on the phone, they are having a nice visit. My mother-in-law is doing his homeschooling while he\u2019s down there. She\u2019s still not sure that we aren\u2019t ruining the children academically, but she was willing to give it a whirl and I was eager for her to see that it\u2019s much more \u201cschool-like\u201d than she fears. Pretty cool.<\/p>\n
4. I just bought a new blender and am enjoying fresh smoothies every morning for breakfast. I just have one question, is the soy milk I use considered dairy or a vegetable on that whole food pyramid thingy?<\/p>\n
5. We signed up for a video service that sends me two new videos every time I send the old ones back. (You know who they are, they don\u2019t pay me to shill for them.) I didn\u2019t think I would like it so much. The Computer Guy and I get a pseudo-date night whenever a \u201cgrown-up movie\u201d arrives. I should have put more of those on my list.<\/p>\n<\/body><\/html>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
