"I'll give you days full of dreams if you travel my way, and a summer you can't repeat..."

I had one of those extremely unproductive, uneventful days today. And not really in a good way. I was home alone almost all day, which would normally be blissful, except for the fact that I spent the majority of my time trying to entertain Gidget. I love my pup, I really do, but today once again proved why I could never, ever be a stay-at-home mom. I went stir-crazy. I hate being cooped up with nothing to do.

That being said, I started to consider just not blogging today because I felt so dull. But that's really the point of this blog - to find things we're grateful for every day, especially if we're feeling monotonous or depressed or angry or whatever.

So. Here's a short list of things I am grateful for today:

• Bravo, Bones, and CSI, which kept me mostly entertained and provided background noise.
• hummus and rice crackers.
• having a beautiful, sweet, healthy puppy, even if she drives me insane sometimes.
• heavy summer rain.
• Bailey's Irish Cream over vanilla ice cream.
• texting with Kelli.
• an open invitation to visit Sam in The Ark.
• Jack Hannahan, the Mariner's 3rd baseman. So. Cute.

And this video. (Which I can't remember if I've posted before or not...) It's 3 songs I lovelovelove put together.
