Personalized ringtones on the cell phone so I can decide if I want to talk to you without even having to look.<br>48. Calculators<br>47. Aloe vera plants.  Are you eating one yet?<br>46. The end of this season\u2019s \u201cDancing With the Stars\u201d.<br>45. Coconut Cream Pie.<br>44. Cheap gas. (It\u2019s all relative, I know, but it seems cheap today.)<br>43. My moms.  The real one, the volunteer, and the in-law.  They\u2019re great women.<br>42. Not having to make Thanksgiving dinner myself.<br>41. My children\u2019s friends.  They\u2019re really nice kids.<br>40. My new big kitchen with all the counter space.<br>39. My four year old looking at my wedding album and saying, \u201cMommy you look just the same.\u201d  I hope she doesn\u2019t need glasses.<br>38. Any movie that gets them all to be still and quit for an hour or longer.<br>37. The smell of pine-sol.  It means my whole house is clean<br>36. Being almost done with Christmas shopping.<br>35. Not having to buy the Computer Guy a gift this year.  I probably will anyway, but it\u2019s more fun because I don\u2019t <span style=\"font-style:italic\">have<\/span> to.<br>34. Readers who will actually make it all the way through this list.<br>33. Okay, the <span style=\"font-style:italic\">reader<\/span> who will actually make it all the way though it.  I love you, Mom.<br>32. Hot waxing kits for home use.  You should be thankful I use this, too.<br>31. Knowing exactly what my father in law wants for Christmas this year (a tie with the kids\u2019 pictures on it.)  (Really)<br>30. God\u2019s sense of humor.  It doesn\u2019t always seem funny to me, but I hope He\u2019s laughing it up.<br>29. Children who don\u2019t think it\u2019s weird to take part in political protests every week and complain when they\u2019re over.<br>28. Going to Cincinnati this year to be on TV.  It was fun.<br>27. The sung Divine Mercy Chaplet playing in my car.  It always calms me down and refocuses me.<br>26. Learning how to control my big mouth a bit. (What?)<br>25. Our two little saints praying for us in Heaven.<br>24. Latin grammar answer keys.<br>23. Those big hugs from little boys who aren\u2019t ashamed (yet) to hug their mom in public.<br>22. Fried broccoli.<br>21. Christmas hymns.  Especially the Latin ones, I like them the best.<br>20. Free voice lessons for #1 in exchange for oatmeal raisin cookies.<br>19. Internet recipe searches.  How else do you discover the recipe for Bacon Cheeseburger Chicken?<br>18. Dramatic children<br>17. Computer solitaire.  Otherwise I lose the cards.<br>16. Being 34.  I like it.<br>15. Getting to spend Christmas in Corpus Christi.<br>14. Girls in white dresses with blue satin sashes, snowflakes that stay..no wait, wasn\u2019t that a song?<br>13. #4 isn\u2019t named Horatio.  She almost was.  It\u2019s a long story.<br>12. Hand print turkeys.<br>11. That I didn\u2019t marry Axl Rose after all.  Have you <span style=\"font-style:italic\">seen<\/span> that guy lately? <br>10. Mary said yes.<br>9. Joseph said yes.<br>8. Jesus said yes.<\/p>\n<p>I\u2019m too tired to come up with any more.  7-1 are up to you.<\/p>\n<\/body><\/html>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>49.
