Gratitude - 02/13/2009
Today, I am grateful for:
1. Roommates. As hinted at earlier, our friend has moved in to share the house with us, thus capitalizing on excess space we were not using and providing us with a reason to get cable. It has also meant that we are cooking (and, subsequently, eating) more wholesomely.
2. Beef stew. My mom sent me the recipe for it and, if I do say so myself, I made a fine pot of the stuff in our slow cooker.
3. My cousin. She visited us this past weekend, and brought with her an appreciation for our cooking and also a desire to watch Kung Fu Panda and Iron Man. I kid you not, she actually wanted to see those movies, much to my delight and my wife’s despair.
She also, to my giddy soul-busting glee, wanted to watch Transformers, but my wife drew the line there. My wife does not like that movie. At all.
