Isn't it about time...

for another top ten list...

"random thoughts I had today about things/people/places I am appreciative of or that me stop and ponder"

10. ACDC plays a mean bagpipe...truly only they could pull it off in a heavy metal song
9. I appreciate the sounds of the birds, smell of the trees/flowers and the view of the two young deer standing in the river drinking water at fishcreek park tonight...while I am gasping for air and crawling up the hill at bikini boot camp tonight
8. I am so thankful for Starbucks new summer drink - Orange Mocha Frappuchino Light which tastes suspiciously very familiar to my Mocha light frapp w/Valencia from last year that they discontinued
7. I love that the new energy radio station 101.5(in Calgary) is secure enough to play Tiffany's "I think we are alone now"

6. wow do we have alot of bunnies in this city..yes I know the whole birds and bees, multiplying like rabbits story but man - it is crazy around here!
5. friends and family - yes a very vague category but I am thankful for each and every one of them for accepting me for the wacky, quirky person I am
4. Water - do I appreciate it? am I thankful for it? nope, not at all...am I forcing myself to drink 10-12 cups a day! Yes I am...so if I put it on the list, maybe I can pull that whole mind over matter trick and learn to love it!
3. my children...even though it is 10pm and Kaeden is at the top of the stairs announcing that he has decided he does not need to sleep anymore...took a break from the list...it is now 11:05pm and Kaeden is finally asleep whew..still really thankful just not really appreciating the 4 hr bedtime ritual tonight

2. I appreciate the fact that I was able to finish bikini bootcamp class tonight with no throwing up, bruising or band burns(not so lucky in the the last 3 classes)! I may actually finish the eight weeks (16 classes) alive!
1. warning...sappy mushy moment ahead... I appreciate and am thankful for all my blog readers who have doubled the amount of visitors over last month! I was really not to sure about this blogging thing but it has been a great creative outlet for me and has really pushed my photography skills. Thanks for reading and hopefully I can continue to provide some level of entertainment!
