Today I'm Grateful For...

1. My Job. For a minimum wage job ($7.25 in Utah, BTW) it's a pretty sweet deal. I get to make pizzas all day long and my coworkers are way cool. My bosses are amazing and...it's in my apartment complex!
2. Libraries. I cannot get work done in my apartment. I get distracted, I end up eating and then I go into a food coma and then no work gets done. But if I go to the library, I feel like I have made an effort to get there and so something has to get done. Besides that point, the library is comfort. My mother has brought me up around books and so libraries are home. Books are happiness and love.
3. Indoor tracks. If it weren't for the indoor track at school, I would be a very unhappy camper. I have grown to love running and it is too cold and icy to run around here in the mornings(though I do go for lovely walks in the afternoon). It feels great to strengthen my body through exercise and that track is my friend. On a side note, I'm thinking of doing the whole "barefoot running" thing, getting those five-fingered shoes. They seem pretty cool.

4. Whoever planted the idea in my head that you can mix pumpkin and cake mix to make cookies. I made pumpkin bread for some friends last weekend and I had leftover pumpkin sitting in the fridge that I needed to use. Then cake mixes were on sale so I bought one and made these fabulous chocolate cookies with white chocolate chips. Next time, I'm using peanut butter chips..mmmmm yummy!!!!

5. My cell phone. It's brilliant. I can get everything on/from it. I can play games and check email and facebook and twitter and get messages and calls. I love it.
