Hey look! It's little Mz Listy McListerson

I was sitting here at my desk, complaining about this cold I still have, aka The Snot That Would Not Go Away, when I checked out jodi's blog. She was talking about her grandfather who's in very bad condition. It made me think about my grandpa - who's not doing so well himself - so I started to feel pretty bummed out. Then I read the rest of Jodi's post where she listed 50 things she is grateful for. And it made me smile. Since I was no longer conflicted with a case of the bummers I thought I'd think some happy thoughts and write one up myself. So in no particular order, here are 50 random things that I am grateful for:

1. my good health - Yeah, I have a stubborn cold, but I'm not in a hospital or on twenty different pills or fighting for my life. So it's ALL good.
2. the HB - who called me earlier today to see how I was doing & volunteered to make a medicine run for me w/o any dropped hints.
3. my family - every loveable crazy single one of them
4. Mc Donald's happy meals
