(In Progess) - 82 - Make a list of 101 things/people that I'm thankful for

More things I'm thankful for

11. My camera - I don't think I've ever had a hobby that was something that I really wanted to do. It's not that I haven't enjoyed things I've done in the past, it's just that I've never been "oooh, I really wanna do that." before. I'm learning on my own, and enjoying it on my own. It's fantastic.
12. My deck - I think I already mentioned my house, but my deck is just an extra bonus. A LARGE extra bonus. :)
13. AT&T U-Verse - It's so much better than Time Warner Cable - in both the number of options they provide for the price and in the availability.
14. RSS Feeds - How else would I keep up with news and entertainment? It's fantastic to get all the information I could need and want all in one place!
15. A college education - I certainly wouldn't be where I am now without my Bachelor's Degree. And while I don't necessarily need my Master's Degree, I'm still glad I actually have it.

These, of course, are added to the list I had so far:

1. My house - it's really a dream for me and every day I pull into the driveway I'm thankful that not only am I financially able to own it, but that I was able to find such a perfect house for me so close to work.
2. My car - not only am I thankful for something that gets me where I need to go, it's a freakin' cool car. It's technologically awesome and helping save the world, right?
3. John - It's hard to put into words how awesome it is to come home from work and hear the *clomp*clomp*clomp* of feet running up the basement stairs, the door bursting open, the smile, the yell of "Iffles!" and the run to hug me. Best thing ever.
4. My job - ok, having a job can be quite a pain sometimes, but I'm thankful it's here, I'm glad I like the people I work with, and I'm happy that I get the respect that I do. I also enjoy my paycheck.
5. Music - could I make it through a day without listening to music? I don't think I want to know the answer to that.
6. My family - they're always there for me when I need them - with words, driving out when I was suddenly hospitalized, giving me money to help me out when I need it, etc.
7. Glasses/contacts - as strange as it sounds, I often think about how thankful I am for this technology. With a presecription as strong as mine, I'd sure be dead or rendered useless if I couldn't have some sort of corrective lenses.
8. Indoor plumbing - ok, that might be a gross one, but. Seriously. Can you imagine if we didn't have it? I'm quite thankful.
9. Myles and Maia - neither one are Kaylee, who I still think about often and miss quite a bit, and sure, Maia gets on my nerves a lot, but I can't imagine watching TV or reading a book without one of them curled up next to or on top of me.
10. The Basement - Not only am I thankful just to have one, I'm thankful that ours contains an entire warehouse of video game systems, parts and repair equipment. Plus one previously-mentioned man that knows how to use it all. I'm not a huge video game nerd, but it's certainly nice to know that most problems I have can be fixed by yelling "John? Help!" down the basement stairs.
