I'm grateful to have a clean house, that I had a great bloody mary today, for a FANTASTIC play last night. NO bumps in the road.

It's Chanukah! Enjoy the holiday, friends. I am grateful for... Adam Sandler's Hanukah song. (See, I spelled it differently because I am really not sure what's right?)  I heard it in the car tonight and it made me laugh and also appreciate all the talented Jewish people in holiday. My Christmas cards are pretty! I had a great lunch with an old friend today, reconnected in a way we haven't in a long time. Fantastic time with my friend Jill yesterday. Good friends! I'm lucky! My house is cozy and inviting, getting the tree decorated tonight.

I am grateful that BLN is driving tonight. I am grateful for the fun night at Candace's. I'm grateful for how sweet my little girl is-and how cute she looks in her sparkly scarf.

I am grateful that I am SMART! I am grateful that I know that I can do anything I set my mind to. My life is up to me-not anybody else, and if I want something, I can just make it happen. I am grateful that my little girl was so elegant last night in her scarf and bun. Very professional. I am grateful for my mom and my sister.
