This year I am especially thankful for the small things.

I am thankful for the piles of autumn leaves scattered everywhere, crunching under my feet when I walk around the city.
I am thankful when the neighborhood is still asleep in the early morning and it feels like stolen time that belongs just to me and a few other early risers.
I am thankful to have a very special someone to share an early morning Thanksgiving walk with.

Or have a silly late night with. And that he enjoys the small things even more than I do : )
I am thankful for my purring little furnace that keeps me warm when I check my morning e-mail, nags me all day for treats and toys, sits with me when I work in the late afternoon, and rules the bed at night.
I am thankful for a very tasty dinner and that for the last month both of my sisters, mom, and I have been in the same city. It's been about half of my life that someone was in a different place from the rest of us and even with our minor annoyances to tearful emotional outbursts they are mine and I am theirs and I wouldn't have it any other way.
Lastly, I am thankful that I have so much to be thankful for. Am I an eternal optimist? Far from it, in fact. But I know… I know.
I hope everyone had a very happy Thanksgiving. Or at the very least a pretty great Thursday.
Now the big question? Torture myself and go to Macy's for the coat I want and get it for $50 or $60 when it's usually $200, or just let that dream fade away? 'Cause… wow, tomorrow scares me :)
OH NO! FYI… this is the message that is on their web site right now. Now I'm really afraid.
We'll be right with you.
It's a little crowded in here right now, and to make sure everyone enjoys shopping with us, we're asking new visitors to wait here a few moments while other shoppers finish up. We'll refresh your browser and welcome you in momentarily. Thanks for your patience!
UPDATE: I got the damn coat at 6 am!! And EVEN better I got these Privo Oso shoes for $23!!!!

I wore my other Privo shoes ALL SUMMER. They truly are soooo comfortable. And you don't have to be at Macy's at 2 am or have a coupon. The red is a discontinued color so they are just that price. The goldish/copper ones are AMAZING but not on sale :( and these shoes aren't on their website.
