3) Phone call and e-mail regarding Mall position (still alive)
4) New make up from Kohls
5) My computer catching the Internet Security 2010 virus and shutting down. Making me rethink the amount of time I spend on the computer. Maybe not having a computer stealing my time is a good thing.

2) Having health insurance and RX coverage.
3) Salvation Army bell ringers and having an extra buck to toss into the kettle.
4) Rita bringing treats to work including bourbon balls - yummy.

2) Washed dishes sitting in the drainer. Ah, all is well on the kitchen front.
3) Bag of sliced oranges.

GiST 23/365
1) Excellent nine hour day at work where everything was clicking and the three of us working together were in a groove. Had 3 one-thousand dollar hours back to back and missed the fourth by less than 70 bucks! Darn..
2) The thrill of expectation of a snow fall.
3) Finding the misplaced Disney Reward card. Found it right where I hid it months ago.
4) Christmas party at Golden Corral.
5) Having that moment where I realized I was happy and taking note of the glorious feeling.

GiST 22/365
1) Opening the front door and there is the Three Legged Cat waiting to come in after an evening of romping with his "girl friend" (TLC is fixed, girl friend may or may not be a girl, but I suspect she is)
2) Finally being able to use my "Sleeping with Alan Jackson" sales pitch and having it work!!
3) A tall glass of water with lemon slices.
4) Rita bringing me an Angus Burger from Cosco for lunch. Obviously she thinks I need to be fattened up (smile inserted here).
5) Finishing Thirteen Moons by Charles Frasier. Definitely one of the three best books I have read this year. I read it slowly so to savor every word. There was something magical to this book. I read Cold Mountain over ten years ago and I remember sobbing at the end. I had read reviews about Thirteen Moons and how it was no Cold Mountain. I suppose it would be like Martha Mitchell's second book if she had ever followed up Gone With The Wind.

Teaching an Old Dog New Tricks
GiST 21/365
1) Being in possession of an ice scraper.
2) Smiling at the sight of two girls posing on the trunk of the huge pink elephant that sits at the cross roads.
3) Finding my candle making stuff in the storage shed! Making a candle and failing. Finding a video on You Tube and re-melting it on the stove (vs. the microwave) and better the second time but still a wick failure! Lesson learned - nothing is as easy as it looks.
4) Flipping the heat on in the house.
5) Missing Survivor last night because I had to work, but knowing I can watch it on the Internet later today (maybe tomorrow).
