cupcake inspired AoG 2010

I am grateful for cupcake places that provide an alternative to bars for a night out with the girls from work.
I am grateful for an associate class (aka coworkers who started with me on the same rotational program) who I really like. It has made not being in school lots easier as they have become an important part of my everyday life at work.
I am grateful for food that looks as good as it tastes!

the “k” cupcake is from Sweet Revenge (the cupcake place I went to with my coworkers for GNO) and the pic is from Kelly.

I am grateful for a job that doesn’t require me to be at work at a specific time unless I have a meeting.
I am grateful for a car service that will pick me up at the airport and deliver me right to my front door.
I am grateful for managers who get that people have lives and that airplane delays happen.

I am grateful for overnight, cross-country flights that allow me to maximize my time on vacation to see my family.
I am grateful for Benadryl. It helped with both my runny nose and my need for sleep on said overnight, cross-country flight.
I am grateful for airport bench style seats so that when my flight was delayed two hours I could get some sleep.

I am grateful for siblings that I love to hang out with. I cannot imagine what it would be like to be in a family where this was not the case.
I am grateful that I have been able to be around all of my nieces and nephews while they’ve been little.
I am grateful that my married siblings have found spouses that make them happy and that they have good marriages.

I am grateful for little girls who love playing soccer like I loved playing soccer and that I could watch two of my favorite little girls play today!
I am grateful that I had a mom who gave up her entire Saturday every Saturday for years during soccer season and swim season so that she could coach our teams or cheer us on or both. She was the BEST!!!
I am grateful for orange slices! I know that might sound weird, but there is nothing like orange slices at half-time during a soccer game (or at mile 20 of a marathon). I love orange slices!
