Hello again,
Today I am thankful for 2 for 1 blizzards from Dairy Queen. First of all, one blizzard is very yummy but 2 for the price of one is even more yummy! I am thankful that I am part of the blizzard fan club where I get 2 for 1 coupons every few months or so that my family and I can indulge a little. Plus I had a gift card with a bit of money on it still for Dairy Queen so I ended up only paying .48 for 2 blizzards!!!! How is that for amazing? We split the 2 blizzards between the four of us because one is too much for one person. Well for my family and I it is. 2 for 1 is great also because then there is enough for the four of us with just the cost of one. After the last couple of weeks I think a little indulgence was really needed as well. :) Of course they were both chocolate as well. lol So this is why I am thankful for 2 for 1 blizzards.

Day 347: the fridge
Hello again,
This post is for yesterday and I was unable to post due to health issues again. I am attempting to catch up though. :)
For this post I am thankful for the fridge. I was thinking the other day and realized I take the fridge for granted. I only really think about it when the power goes out and food is about to spoil but for some reason I thought about it the other day as I was reaching for something in the fridge. I can not imagine living without a fridge but for some people it is a luxury. It keeps food from spoiling so you don't have to toss stuff because it goes bad. It keeps juice and milk cold and fruit lasts longer when it's stored in the fridge. I suppose this is really simple and not much to say other than it is very useful and I am very grateful to have it. This is why I am thankful for a fridge.

Day 346: Bubble wrap :)
Hello again,
This post is for Wednesday because I was unable to post due to health issues. The same health issues that I had to go to the hospital for a couple of weeks ago. I may not be able to keep up too well this next little bit because I may have to go back into the hospital. I just want to let people know who do read this blog that I may not be keeping up too well for the next bit but that I am doing what I can and I haven't quit. So keep checking back if you don't already follow the blog. :) I appreciate everyone who takes the time to read my blog as well. Thank you. :)
For this post I am thankful for bubble wrap. The reason? Getting to pop it after you take it off the product it was protecting!!! Oh my goodness it is so much fun! It is also fun trying to come up with different ways to pop it. It always makes me smile. :) When I was a kid I would go nuts with it if given the chance. lol I would stomp on it or sit on it or pop it with my fingers or what ever way I could think of. I found it fun to find different and new ways to pop it. How can you not smile when popping bubble wrap? It's an instant mood lifter for me. The stress just "pops" away. lol sorry. I couldn't help it. Plus I am thankful for it because it protects stuff as well. lol For these very simple reasons, I am thankful for bubble wrap.

Day 345: dollar stores
Hello again,
Today I am thankful for dollar stores. I love them. I go in to dollar stores and can find lots of neat stuff cheaper than in a regular store. Of course not everything is cheaper at a dollar store so you have to know your prices if you are looking to save money. But they are generally cheaper. There is also the issue of quality for some items but if you watch what you are getting-you can still end up with quality items. I went to one recently and got some really neat stuff that I haven't seen anywhere for as cheap as I got it. It was also stuff that I needed so yes it is considered a good deal in my books. :) I love the craft isle-I am like a kid in a candy store. lol There are so many craft items to look at in some dollar stores. :) One other great reason to love dollar stores is the holiday decorations or costume pieces. Sometimes you can find really pretty stuff that looks like it cost more than it did. It also looks like it came from a regular store. lol For these reasons I am thankful for dollar stores.

Day 344: thermometers
Hello again,
This post is for yesterday because I was unable to post. For this post I am thankful for thermometers. There are so many different types and I am thankful for all of them! The type that measures the weather outside is very useful because it tells me if I need a jacket or shorts. Then there are those that measure food temps so you know when something is cooked or not. There are also thermometers to measure if someone has a fever or not which is very important. I am trying to think if there are any I have missed. lol They provide us with very useful information in each case. So that is why I am thankful for thermometers.

Day 343: Fresh home grown tomatoes
Hello again,
Today I am thankful for fresh home grown tomatoes. We finally got our first fresh vine ripened tomato and had it with supper tonight and there is nothing like a fresh tomato. Even the vine ripened tomatoes you buy in the store don't come close to competing with the freshness of home grown tomatoes. I wish we could grow them year round but our seasons don't allow that. But it makes it all the more exciting to have them for the short time that we do. :) Maybe we could start using grow lights and pollunate our own tomato flowers to get tomatoes inside. lol Anyways I am very thankful that we are able to grow our own tomatoes and enjoy them as well. :)

Day 342: Antivirus software
Hello again,
Today I am thankful for antivirus software. I suppose I don't have a lot to say because I have never had a problem so there no great stories to tell. The fact that I have never had a virus infect my computer is due to having good software and I suppose watching where I go on the internet and what I do or don't click on. I have tried a few different types of antivirus software and I think they all basically do a good job. Some have some annoying qualities like stuff popping up all the time while others are pretty good and I rarely even notice they are even doing anything. Currently I am using Trend Micro because I got a year free from being a bzz agent. If you would like to know what a bzz agent is-please click on the link at the bottom. :) So far I am enjoying Trend Micro although I don't reccomend the safe sync if you use Adobe photoshop. Something crazy weird happened between those two programs. Anyways I have been quite pleased with Trend Micro and thankful for the opportunity to try it for free. It does not slow down my computer which is great! Having a virus infect your computer is horrible and a real pain so I am really thankful for the antivirus software!
