Thankful Thursday

Send in the clowns; don't bother their here... Yes, there is such thing as too much makeup!  No, she isn't an Avon customer of mine. 

I heard something in the news that made me sad.  Drinking out of water bottles, or drinking with straws will give you wrinkles!  Can you believe that?  It's as bad as smoking up to three packs of cigarettes a day!  Damn. 

But don't despair..  Scientists have discovered a "youth serum" that can actually make our bodies live longer.  It's been tested on rats, and may be on the market as early as in 10 years.  Gee..  I'll be even older then.  We need this serum, like NOW people!

Oh, but this gets even better.  Airlines may now charge you for extra baggage, and for your weight!  Lovely.  When you place your bags on the scale, they may ask you to step on it too.  Gee..  I'm just glad I went to Portugal last summer!  Airfare has gone through the roof! 

But there is always stuff to be thankful for, right? 

1.  The week is almost over.  It's been dragging.

2.  Oversized beach towels.  They come in handy-especially when your youngest child needs to throw up in the car.  Poor Nicholas had a little too much fruit salad at preschool yesterday.  Yeah, I saw all the fruits...strawberry, banana...

3.  School is almost over.  YAY!  No more projects!

4.  Andrew got an "A" on his Howard Hopps report. 

5.  I'm very grateful we don't live back in the 1800's.  I have no desire to go back and live in the past.  It was a hard life, and have you ever seen those dresses and girdles women were expected to wear back then?!  No way!!  I'm no Scarlet O'Hara!  I love my pajama pants, thank you very much! 

6.  My van still works after leaving the keys in the ignition for hours.  (That's for you, Dawn.)

7.  Graduation Day is next Thursday!  YAY!

8.  My family/friends--healthy and happy.

I give up.  I drink out of water bottles.  I'm doomed for wrinkles.  Enjoy the rest of the week and the upcoming weekend.

 Gee, another reason to never fly.  Or drink bottled water.  We have nurses aide who wears makeup just like that.
