Virginia has been a tough place for us these past two years. We've made a couple of good friends, but not nearly as many as we usually do. It's like we've been outsiders looking in the whole time and never quite fit in. So I decided for my 9 on the 9th hosted by All That Naz, I'd do a list of some things I'm thankful for, not necessarily about Virginia, although the first one definitely applies.
1. Never having to think about whether I have enough people to get in an HOV lane.
2. Matlock reruns ~ I can't get enough of them. Of course my husband got enough of them about seven years ago.
3. The Sterilite company.
4. My label maker...need I say more?
5. Ikea ~ neat furniture for organization, cheap, and I'M GOING TO LIVE LESS THAN AN HOUR AWAY FROM ONE!!!
6. My children bickering ~ that means I have them with me safe and sound. Although I prefer safe and sound and not bickering, but we've had a rough day.
7. Daisies ~ they put me in my happy place.
8. A flexible real estate agent ~ because the rain keeps postponing all-star little league games, which is postponing our trip to finalize our house.
9. Imitrex ~ how'd they live in the olden days with migraines?
If you'd like to participate in 9 on the 9th or to read what others have listed, go visit Mrs. N at All That Naz.
Daisies are my absolute favorite flower. And - as a former military brat - I truly understand about the relocating. Virginia (I've lived there) can be a tough place to break into if you aren't in the right town. Hugs to you!
ReplyDeleteInteresting about VA. I lived in Alexanderia and loved it, but never lived in other parts of the state. I too love Daisies and IKEA!! Love that store. Thanks so much for playing along. I don't think I've ever been to your blog before so I am so very glad you found mine.
ReplyDeleteI love Sterilite, my label maker and IKEA too and they all work really well together unlike bickering children.
ReplyDeleteI was born in Va, lived there til I was 9 mos. Apparently I didn't mind that time. But, I lived there again from 12-13 and HATED it!!!
