* leftover pad thai. i may not be thankful later, but i'm living in the moment here.
* our new pots and pans. finally. i don't have eat carcinogens every time i cook.

The triumph over moodiness is easier each day, and the endorphins that followed zumba, along with watching The Office wedding, are welcome rewards.
(in case you don't remember, it's crafting my journal entries around, or making my journal entries only, 5 things I'm thankful for, IN NO PARTICULAR ORDER.)
* Emma. She is just this bundle of cuteness. I confess that when we first got her, I was not attached and did not want to become so. I have been attached to dogs before, but I just felt it was silly for some reason now. Well, silly or not, here we are. And yes, I have shown coworkers pictures of her with her doggy clothes on. She does some of the cutest things. Like, if I cover my face with a blanket, she uses her paw to uncover me. And the way she whines is very unique. It's more like she's asking a question.
Ok, enough. So, I'm GRATEFUL for the joy this little cockapoo brings to my life.
* Last night. I was so cozy and comfy, and The Office reruns were on, like, 5 channels.
* That I got over being mad at Santi before he left on his trip. Which he did this morning.
* The failblog. I'd never read it before mentioned it the other night. Now, I have pages and pages of laughter.
* Early morning. I love this time, even now before the time changes and it's still more nighttime than daytime. I love the peace. Solitude feels good in the mornings. When I got back from taking Santi to the airport, Emma and I went on a walk. It wasn't cold; just quiet. We didn't walk far, but it was nice. Now I'm enjoying coffee (for which I'm also thankful) and considering a nap before work.

The Italian prime minister's (soon to be ex-) wife, Veronica Lario, looks a lot like Cristina Kirchner (the current president of Argentina).

We finally closed on our house on Friday! That was a delay of a few days, but it turned out to be a good thing because it gave us the weekend to settle in. We're so happy with our house. There are some little things we're fixing, but as buying a house goes, there is relatively little to do. We bought a washer and dryer, which is probably too exciting to us, since we've been doing laundry at my parents' house for 3 years. We spent yesterday putting out some flowers in the front yard.
If you would like to see a very few pictures of the house (still lots to unpack), they are here.
And yes, this entry is public. Whoa...scary!
Off to read your entries! A real treat!

Well, I am not sure what's going to happen at lj, but I created a journal at vox. Username rzezidizz, of course.
I won't update there yet. Just waiting and seeing.
