So, so excited!

I'm almost embarrassed to say how excited I am about He's Just Not That Into You. Seriously, the trailer makes me grin - I don't know if I can get Mr. P to join me, but this could be another fun afternoon outing for the girls :)

He's Just Not That Into You trailer


Anyone wanna go with me? I know I'm jumping the gun and it doesn't come out until February...I guess there's some time to figure it all out!

I'm Kreativ?


Thanks to Amy, I've been given a Kreativ Blogger award...so on to six things I am thankful for.

1. My family, both immediate and extended. Usually this would be super-cheesy, but this time it's definitely not. They've been extra-supportive lately through a few things that are going on, and I would be lost without them. It makes all the difference in the world to know that you have people in your corner, backing up your decisions and encouraging you through struggles.

2. Bailey. Since our front room takes forever to get warm, she makes an AWESOME cuddle-buddy, and she's pretty cute, too :)

3. I'm thankful to have a job. I know there are a lot of people out there going through some awful times, and it certainly isn't easy for us, but I have a job with great (for the most part!) coworkers, lots of flexibility, and (usually) something interesting going on. [We're headed into busy season - please remind me I said this!]

4. Warm chocolate chip cookies.

5. The dog park.

6. An amazing network of friends, most of whom I wouldn't know if it weren't for things like STLWed (or even this blog). It doesn't matter that I've grown up in and returned to St. Louis after college - many of my high school friends did not. I never knew how hard it could be to make new friends (especially girlfriends), and the internet has made it surprisingly easier.

I'm supposed to tag a few people here, but I think most people have already been tagged (based on the number of blogs I've already read). I've been a bad blogger lately ;)
