Thankful Countdown . . . 7 days

7 DAYS TILL THANKSGIVING. . .

I am thankful for the internet. 

Not very mushy-gushy, touchy-feely, I know.  But just last night I was able to open a file I sent to myself from the office (the real office not my desk at home).  I managed to get a good amount of work done, which made my life a little easier since now I don't have to go into work on Friday.  Yea!
But there's lots of fun stuff the internet brings too. . . .like

Esty . . .
Oh my!  If you have not discovered Esty, set aside half a day to browse.  Tons of handmade items.  I have purchsed earrings, a dog coller (Christmas themed ...yes I even decorate the dog), mittens, Christmas cards, invitations, and the list goes on.  I am browsing cloche hats currently.  I LOVE the look of them, but seriously, I live in Arizona where no one wears hats except to keep the sun off their face. 

And picture sharing  . . . Thanks to the internet, I am can share pictures with all the far-away people I wish were closer.  I laugh when I remember Tommy's baby pictures. . . I had to take the film to Costco, wait for the photos, then order reprints of the good ones, wait some more, then mail those out.  Of course I did it, and I did it ALOT because he was just about the cutest baby e-ver!  Now it's WAY easier. 

And finally email!  Who doesn't love email?  I am so addicted that if I don't have my iphone handy at all times, I feel totally stranded. 

OK, that's what I am thankful for today.  What are you thankful for?

I am loving the countdown. I will be home soon and can"t wait to see all of you. Count me in for butter and rolls --- I guess that is the good thing about being the youngest and having no kids; I get the easiest job on all holidays. Love ya, Mh
