I thought I would skip Thankful Thursday today due to the late hour. It’s after 11pm and I’m beat.
However, I have to print out the week’s NY Times crosswords, so I may as well get down to it.
Grateful that someone picked up my kid this morning to take her to school, so I didn’t have to drive at 8:15.
Grateful for the bright orange poppy that opened in the front perennial bed this morning. I took a bunch of photos of the flowers in my garden this morning, due to the fact of not having to drive my kid to school, walking around like a crazy person in my nightgown with a yellow zippered sweatshirt over top. I don’t think I’m crazy and I don’t think I look crazy, but I know what most people think when someone walks around in broad daylight in pajamas. I grew up in a household where pajamas were an acceptable form of day wear, and I’ve never seen fit to break the pattern.
Grateful for crossword puzzles.
Crossword puzzles put me to sleep. They have for years. They are my nightcap. The only stress they cause is when I am without one for long. I can almost practice complete detachment from crossword puzzles aside from the actual ironic fact that I need to have one in my possession on any given night of the week. Peace, man, peace. Crossword puzzles are like peace in my soul.
I could post a jpeg of a crossword puzzle from google images right here, but I’m not gonna. Or a jpeg of a carpool sign. Don’t think I didn’t look, because I did.
Another thing I love? Carpools and carpooling. Like crazy, like crazy with a yellow hooded-sweatshirt that zips up the front.

Lovely, simple pleasures.
Amy, I know another lovely, simple pleasure–seeing you and junior you! SOON! Maybe you will be at singing more in the summer, too–?
Twink, please tell me you don’t find jammies and a hoody acceptable attire for Walmart excursions.
Jon, If I had some of those pink plastic rollers in my hair, I think I could saunter into Walmart in my ensemble.
