This was quite a sad week. Dann went back to England on Tuesday and I am sadder than I ever was when I left England. I know that I shouldn't be sad and I'm trying not to focus on it but it's just hard. However, it's just six weeks away until I leave for England. So I am excited about that. Everything in due time.
So, anyway, I do have things to be grateful for. Naturally.
Dann's Pilots - I know. I did this one already. But I am very grateful that Dann made it to England safely. I would like to thank those pilots for getting Bed Bug safely to his British bed.
An End to a Materialist Hunt - I am obsessed with bedding. The bedding options in England are very difficult to deal with. Either you go cheap and get not so nice things or you spend a small fortune and get something nice. And by nice I mean my style, not anything to do with quality. So for pretty much the whole three weeks that Dann was here we hunted for a bed set for me. I finally found two of them (and what deals I got!). The search is over and I love them so very much I'll bring them back with me when I come home for good.
That I Was a Sheltered Child - I love crime shows. I don't really watch fiction crime shows but rather documentaries or shows like The First 48, American Justice, and City Confidential. But almost every time I watch shows like that, there are children involved. I don't just mean murder cases (which are obviously extra terrible and I'm extra grateful I wasn't murdered when I was a kid). I'm talking about kids that are exposed to "street life" or sex and nonsense like that. My mom did an excellent job taking care of my innocent look on life. In fact, some terms and vocabulary etc I am still learning! I just learned this week that there are different types of marijuana... as if the word needed more than one. Blew my mind when someone told me this. There are kids who probably know all about things like that. I am glad I didn't and I am glad that I am still quite naive in regards to most things. Helps to keep my faith in humanity flowing.
That I Live in Times Like These - So as I was a blubbering idiot in the airport saying bye to Dann. He reminded me that we are lucky that we are doing this now instead of 20 years ago. We'd have to write letters back and forth. My handwriting is atrocious and so is his. Thank goodness that we are doing this in a day that knows Skype and Facebook. How empty I would feel right now.
That I Have Manners - Seems that not everyone does. I feel bad for the parents of people who are rude or manner-less. They probably didn't raise their kids to be rude and would be sad if they saw their children acting that way. I suppose that I try to mind my manners most times. You're always representing your mama. Represent her well. I'm grateful that I do.
So, dudes and dudettes, what are you thankful for?
