First and foremost, I am thankful for my husband Eric, who is the most wonderful, caring, sweet, generous, supportive, funny and loving person I know. I don't know what I would do without him in my life.
I am thankful for my two furry children, Bubba Boy and Annabelle. I love to curl up in bed or on the couch with them and fall asleep to the sound of their purrs. I also love that Bubba Boy greets me when I walk in the front door and purrs in my ear when I hold him close. And Annabelle will ALWAYS curl up on my lap and fall asleep when I'm on the computer.
I'm thankful for my loving mother who's also my best friend (after my husband of course) who is always there for me when I need her the most.
I'm thankful for the ability to stay home and not work.
I'm thankful for bright red leaves on a crisp fall day and the smell of winter around the corner.
I'm thankful for this website and the terrific people I've met here, who inspire me everyday.
I'm thankful for having found Casey (Atomic Rose). You put a smile on my face every day that I see an email from you. You are such a sweetheart, and I'm dying to meet you when I'm in Boston in a week or so.
I'm thankful for my family and in-laws, who are always there to lend a hand when the going gets rough.
I'm thankful for my Grandmother who supported me while I was going to college, and cooked fantastic meals for me every night. Not to mention the fact that if it weren't for her, I probably wouldn't be so heavily into cooking and baking as I am.
I am thankful for being an American.
And last, but not least, I'm thankful for God, who watches over my family, my friends, my pets and myself.

You little sweetheart you!
You know I feel the same about you, Barbie. I am VERY grateful to have you in my life; you've helped me out soooo much -- just being there and listening to me rant and rave, and not even being offended when I do something rude (like commenting on your toaster oven -- which, I might add, is very attractive ).
More than anything, I am grateful that you adopted me as your Sis.

P.S.: Sorry -- I somehow missed this part of the thread in my hurry the other day.

Having the best handle on my health than I have for the first time since high school ended
Reconnecting with my BF, who is just so perfect for me, and definately the bestest friend I have ever had and is the biggest sweetie ever and I miss so much when he goes home
My BF's dad making it through his emergency trip to the hospital and survining, when I thought he wouldn't make it
For my VERY own place to live, away from the insanity of my family, and making things work at such a young age
My sister recently acutally being NICE to me and trying to talk to me, when we haven't talked to each other (besides yelling) in over a year
Closing in on my bday and actually being EXCited for once that it is sunday, cause next weekend I get to do so many fun things! Van HElsings Curse concert with Dee Snider (get to wear a cosutem!), sushi, bar hopping, etc (and suspecting a surprise from BF....)
Halloween! My evil pixie costume is nearly complete, pointy latex ears and all...
My tattoo, that I love dearly...
Zombie movies! BF and I are up to 16 Zombie movie totals! I will keep you posted on the Zombie awards...
Nelly's hilarious posts, Heathers and Ruchies sweetie pie posts, JenX and Bevrs awesome board personalities, even though they don't have much time for the boards, Amie's and Casey's cooking expertise, Caryn's intelligant posts (even though she kinda disappeared...), getting to help SaraSage with her recent GG drama  , barbie and LS's knowledgableness(is that a word?)... I know there HAS to be more board sistahs that are escaping me at this moment, but EVRYONE has been so important to me...
Getting kicka** grades in school soon...
My stress mgmt professor, that has given me a whole new outlook on life and the meaning of it (Read "Man's Search for Meaning" by Victor Frankl if you haven't, boring, but has a great message)
Feeling sociable and human enough to finally start making more friends!
My newfound vegetarianism, and the working out of my religous and spiritual beliefs.
My perfectly ripe advocado I just made into guacomole and gobbled up with my baked tostitos!
And last, but definately not least, Heather V. and EVERYTING she has done for each and everyone of us, I would give her my first born child if she wanted it J/k of course

You and Tissy and I should start a club
Send us pics of Ireland, ok? It's so BEAUTIFLU there...and you're right, so peaceful! Is it lush and green everywhere or is that just in movies?
Juyst curious....do you work at bein happy or does it come naturally for you? (If this is too personal, i'll understand!) I think most people have to work at being happy...and if that IS the case with you....you're my HERO!
Sending love and no rainy days from work your way

I would like to nominate Miss Ruchie for the most WONDERFUL person EVER award! Sure she's got health probs of her own, but does that stop her?? NO! She comes here and tells us how wonderful we all are 
You deserve a 30ft trophy, a million roses, and a monetary reward equal to the current US Treasury debt! I hope you're feeling great today Ruchie, 'cause you just made me a super happy camper!
