Today I worked from home because I had to meet some servicemen taking care of some issues with the house. I am surprised with how much I was able to get done despite working ten feet from my big screen TV. I was also able to supervise the work being done on my house, which was nice.
Have I mentioned I love our new house? Because I do. It's starting to feel like home and I don't miss our old house anymore. We still have lots of little things to do and some furniture to buy, but I'm not impatient and that will come in time, we're in no huge hurry. I do want to have a Christmas party this year, so I'm hoping I can make it look a little more homey in at least the common areas, specifically the family room. It needs paint in a bad way, but I also need a water softener. And by need, I mean HAVE TO HAVE RIGHT NOW oh my gosh the hard water stains are going to drive me to take pills. For real. So I think the paint may take second seat to the softener, because those suckers are expensive!!
So, now that you're caught up on my boring day, I give you my Thankfuls.
1. Soft carpet. I love walking around barefoot at home and digging my toes into our gorgeous, soft, wheat colored carpet.
2. People with accents. I know, I know, to some people I am the one with the accent . . . but today i heard Paula Deen say "auuul" (oil) like fifteen times and I giggled with glee every time she said it. I also love a British accent. I just watched The Holiday the other night and mmmm Jude Law . . . with his accent. Meow!
3. My recently fixed master bathroom toilet. It's been sorta broken since we moved in and I am overjoyed at the prospect of NOT running through the house to the half bath to use the lou in the middle of the night or early in the morning. Ahhh modern plumbing.
4. Forks. Yep, forks. I spent some time in China several years ago and let me tell you what, whoever invented the fork had the right idea. Eating without them sucks. Chopsticks are hard and spoons just aren't right for SO many things.
5. Feed readers. Oh the joy of not having to search out your new posts. I love using my reader to help direct me to your posts. I do love me some bloggers.
Ta-Daa! Sticky!

Oh, I love love LOVE people with accents! The origin doesn't even matter - if it's different from mine? I lurve it.
I am so impressed that you can work from home. Whenever I try, I always find a bunch of things that need to get done RIGHT NOW and I put off doing my actual work.
Love accents!!! Esp. Jude Law. Oh, and Alan Rickman. I would be a happy, happy camper if he would just come over and read the phone book to me. I'm sure he would make it sound like poetry.
Oh yes, I loved my water softener at my old house. I don't know how my parents have lived all these years without it! But I do know that there are mineral deposits everywhere that there's ever been water. Which is, um, pretty much everywhere. Arrrggghhh! It makes the bathroom look like it's never been cleaned!
