gratitude

oh blogger - gah! after the great blogspot debacle of 2011, i had to take a break from the whole frustrating internet world this morning.  but then i started thinking about the things which i'm really excited about today and decided it was time to sit down and write my gratitude post.

here's what i'm thankful for today:
* that the mister bought a countertop dishwasher for us with his birthday money {having ocd means i'm the only one who can wash dishes, so that purchase was really a gift for me - sweetest man ever!}.
* that our dishwasher {which i have named "sir cleans-a-lot"} arrived an entire week early!
* that i have only had to wash two things by hand over the past couple days {sir cleans-a-lot is definitely the highlight of my week}.
moving on...
* having band practice with the entire joe gil band for the first time - it sounded incredible! i'm so excited for saturday night... at 10pm... hotel cafe {just in case you forgot}.
* for finishing a couple tasks on my to-do list which i have been putting off for weeks.
* for wet wipes {the ocd's best friend}.
* for an awesome stylist friend to play dress up with in preparation for the concert.
* for putting the "next" button on my bookmark tab bar. best thing to ever happen for blog reading!! thanks to red boots for discovering this {seriously, go here to learn more about it, you won't be sorry}!

{what i'll be drinking this weekend}

what are you thankful for this week?

ps - it's friday the 13th! [insert eery music here]

  9. Lucky you guys with a dishwasher - we haven't got one either - I know with 2 kids right, so it's on my list of purchases, (but the list is long:)
    Good luck tonight Kim, can't wait to hear how it went - wish I lived in LA - Have fun sweets,

  11. I had no idea there were countertop dishwashers. Dannon is too sweet to spend his birthday money on that. Don't ever let him go. And have a blast at the concert tonight. I'll be there in spirit!

  15. NO NO NO!! I haven't been on the blog circuit (or reading tweets) in days...busy, busy, busy. And I missed your show! :(
    I live so close to Hotel Cafe, too! And oddly, was thinking THIS PAST WEEK that it had been too long since I'd been there. If I had only checked blogger or twitter!! Ugh.
    Next time I will be there, FOR SURE!!

  16. Grrr blogger was annoying wasn't it? And it lost some of my comments - what's up with that, yo!

    I love dishwashers!

  17. I know, wasn't it ridiculous? And it took so long to fix!!!!

    That's so great that you got a dishwasher, washing dishes by hand is the worst.
    I wish I could come see you guys perform!!!

  20. Now that's one man I wouldn't kick out! Very excited for your dishwasher gift and very nice of the hubs (I don't have one in this apartment, though my last two did. Hard adjustment!)

    Hope you're enjoying your week and love the latte graphic, too!
