Thankful Thursdays Numero Uno

I am totally honest about my pessimistic tendencies, so i thought being the month of Thanksgiving i would do a series on each Thursday called Thankful Thursdays. Perhaps i will list approximately 5 things (I highly enjoy making lists) that have topped my week thus far.  You know, force myself into optimism by actively focusing on the positive.

Sure, it would make sense to wait until Friday's to discuss the week's events, but nu uh, i need alliteration.  I thought it also might be fun if you guys participate by posting your own Thankful Thursdays on your blog and leave the link in the comments.  Maybe even link back here in some capacity?  Like, "the fantabulous blog The Cape On The Corner is having a blabbity blah blah..."  Or you could just comment, plain and simple, but i'm trying to do something different, ok?  Baby steps people, baby steps. One day i could have a linky party of my own.  Oh my gosh, how do i make this a linky party of my own?  Must look into that.

And so this is hopefully interesting, i mean "specific to this week" thankful things, not just my cat.  Or my boyfriend.  Or my perfect for 2 people little house. 

Here are my first Thankful Thursday thoughts:

1.  This week i actually had time in the office, compared to the crazy month of October.  My "rolly cart" of community outreach materials was removed from my car and won't be returning for a long while.  Time in the office meant catching up on blogs, thank goodness, and knocking down the posts in my reader to an actual manageable number.

2.  It's been really cold in the mornings, and i get to use the remote start system S installed to warm up the car and defrost the windows.  Saving me from idling inside it, and allowing me to instead give my cat some morning lovin'.

3.  While highly disappointed in the clearance halloween goodies on the shelves-where are they?  they are bare!-i did manage to find one thing at the HG.  With actual clearance prices, not just slapping a red sticker on it and marking it down by a dollar or two and calling it clearance.  Love ya, HG!

4.  Yay banner!

5.  My sweetle cat slept by my side, under the blanket with me all night.  From the moment i went to bed.  While this might not be much to some people, it is to me.  My girl is very independent, and i am very needy. 

Your turn, guys!  Write a post for Thankful Thursdays and leave the link in the comments.  If you can't swing it this week, just comment, but at least keep it in mind for next Thursday!   Can't wait to read what you guys are most thankful for this week. *Fingers crossed this actually happens*
