What We Put In The Thanksgiving “Thanks Jar”
We promised to share some of the things that we dropped into our Thanksgiving-inspired “thanks jar” over the last month, which we at last got to read after a month of blindly writing without knowing what the other person was jotting down each day.
Here are a few highlights:
- For at last figuring out what the heck to do with this thrift store glass jar. – John
- That Clara’s birth was a miracle and she’s a healthy & glad little girl. -Sherry
- That we sold our house & found a new one that we enjoy (fingers crossed for a smooth closing).- Sherry
- That Clara finds Burger as hilarious as we do. She simply cracked up watching him.- John
- That John has an remarkable family. I enjoy my in-laws. – Sherry
- That when sick, Sherry’s far more lively to be around than I’d be. -John
- That Clara is in the 90th percentile for height. My tall girl! So proud. – Sherry
- For only having 1,500 sq ft of stuff to move and not 2,500 of it… this time. -John
- That this time six months ago, Clara was born. -Sherry
- That Clara gifted us with another 11 hours of uninterrupted sleep last night. -John
Clara, Clara, and more Clara. Apparently we are obsessed with the girl, as well as being mindnumbingly predictable when it comes to listing things like each other, our pooch, our current house, our new house, our family and friends, and our life in general. Oh yeah and did we mention our baby girl?
But there were a few wild card mentions that we tossed in there simply to keep things interesting (I seem to be thankful for a lot of edible items):
- For feta cheese. – Sherry
- For Burger’s preference for my lap. Haha. He loves me more. -Sherry
- That Clara seems to enjoy music videos as much as her Daddy does. -John
- For Dexter. Best show ever. -John
- That Einstein Bagels’ Mushroom Asparagus Thin Sandwich is so good. -Sherry
- For Google. -Sherry
- For thick socks on cold floors. -John
- For spellcheck. -John
- For the funny videos that come up when you search “chihuahua” on YouTube. -Sherry
- For Oprah. -Sherry
- For Tina Fey. -John
Any random people or things that you folks are thankful for? Any fellow feta cheese lovers? Or Tina Fey fans? And I know Oprah is not everyone’s cup of tea but I enjoy her. Also have to agree with John about spellcheck. Cannot live without it. All of our posts would be spelt likee dis.
