my Mom. She is so elegant and a very good sport!

I'm grateful that I have a loving family.

A warm bed.

Food to eat.

- people who are pretty consistently smart, sane, and good

- cheap but excellent coffee

- acing the "power user" tests :D

- crunchy kettle chips with my lunch! yum yum yum

I am grateful that Frieda thought about me while in Paris and sent me a wonderful "Little car on a big card" post card from there.

XXOO
Coffee.

P.S.
Frieda, your PM box is full, or I'd have gratefully thanked you privately with more personal thanks.

- a roommate who works at Starbucks and brings home cookies & bagels & coffee
- actually, all my unbelievably cool, mellow roommates

If you're ever in London, let me know - I skate regularly in Hyde Park!

My warm dog.... unfortunately I had to leave her behind when I left Italy 3 years ago... I dreamt about her for 2 years. However, I left her with my ex's father (I'm also still good friends with my ex) - he lives in a pine forest, she's in her element, and I still go back to see her at least 3 times a year. Although I'll never forget her face when she knew I was leaving. She used to sleep in my bed every night. Warm dog with a warmer expression, definitely. Dogs are the best.

tehe i have rollerskates, but can't skate! they're really really really beautiful ones too - real old skool, red suede with silver flames on the sides :) i tried learning, but got so many injuries i was forced to keep them just for show :( one day i'll have another go

- discovering that, on a day I'm *really* exhausted and take the risk of dressing casually for work, that it's just me and the admins :D

- random groups of guys who try yell down the bus for you and all yell "AWWWW!" like it's a missed touchdown when the stupid bus driver slows down as if they're going to stop & then speeds away :rolleyes:

- finally knowing the bus system well enough to meet a deadline across town in a very small amount of time (comparitively)

- Odwalla Mango Tango :D *schlurp*
