Did you mention toilet paper (Charmin)?
ReplyDeleteThank you for you, and our wonderful kids. Love you!
Hi baby! XO Thank you for reminding me about Charmin - I can't believe I forgot that! I love you too. And I really like your avatar. 8)
ReplyDeleteHi Heather. I now that we do not celebrate it here in my part of the world, nonetheless, Happy thanksgiving. And for the record, your list is very extensive and P50 being there is something all of he alliedbloggers should be grateful for. So it seems that you like the color "black". Makes sense considering that your background is black too:) Enjoy!

Happy thanksgiving Heather. This post just goes to show how much there is that we can be thankful for. Sometimes we forget that all the little things add up to be pretty important. ;)
ReplyDeleteWhat's with the Yankee Candles? Why are they better than ordinary candles and wouldn't you be better off with Texan candles because of their immense size? :D

Love Lots too Heather!
ReplyDeleteI am equally grateful for being part of the My Power50 Allied Bloggers Ü
Happy Thanksgiving!
I'll second the Johnny Depp and 30 Rock shout-outs!
ReplyDeleteYour list was sweet and fun to read; I found myself nodding "yes" to many of the items on it.
Happy Friday!
Thanks, DiTesco! I hope you had a good day yesterday and wish you a good weekend going forward. Yes, I likey me some black. What can I say, it's slimming. 8)
ReplyDeleteThank you Jena! I don't know what "Mabuhay ka" means, but I hope it's good! lol
ReplyDeleteThey totally add up! The little things can add up and niggle at us. But sometimes we forget to notice the little things that add to our comfort and pleasure throughout the day. I've always been a HUGE fan of Yankee Candles. They are much more fragrant than any other brand I've tried. I'm kind of a candle fool. LOL, I've been told that people in Texas only THINK their candles are bigger. I suppose I'll be finding out for myself soon enough. Thanks for the Thanksgiving wish!
ReplyDeleteHi Megan! I posted over on your blog. I thought it was funny that my husband told me about your post lol
ReplyDeleteThank you Madz! Love back to you!
ReplyDeleteThanks for including us(p50) in your thanks giving list. Where's my turkey? Lols!

Never again to be all alone
OMG, where's Jen? I think we have a trio, now!
Heather, do you sing ABBA, too?
.-= Holly Jahangiri´s last blog ..Monday News & Views =-.
I used to play "You Light Up My Life" on the piano. Yup, 'tis true.
ReplyDeleteABBA? But of course! Sing a new song, Chiquitita.
I left you a little something at Facebook.
ReplyDeleteChiquitita, dime por que

en tus ojos hay
una sombra de gran pena...
