At a time of year when we reflect on the blessings we have in our life, of course we are thankful for our families and our health. Without either of those two things we would be nothing. But I would like to make an addition to my gratitude list this year and name the material things and other “items” I am thankful for in my life. Nice twist, right?
So pop open some bubbly with me because this is what I’m thankful for on a daily basis in no particular order…
- Strong coffee
- Red wine
- Teeth whitening kits to erase the signs of drinking tons of strong coffee and red wine
- Good pair of shoes
- Comfortable and sexy bra
- Red wine
- Quality “me” time
- Rich colored lipstick
- Did I say red wine?
- My computer so I can blog and tweet
- Awesome girl talk with a close friend
- Red wine
- ipod full of my favorite music
- A great manicure with chic nail polish
- A talented colorist & stylist to keep me looking fabulously blonde
- Red wine
- Spanx since it makes me look thinner in a total of two seconds
- Miraclebody Jeans because they do work miracles
- Ummm, some red wine
- Take out and not having to cook
- Having my mom come over at the crack of dawn to cook the turkey this holiday
- Betty Crocker mashed potatoes in a box
- Everything else that comes in a box
- Did I mention some red wine?
P.S. Wishing you and your families a wonderful Thanksgiving…I will not feature a TMC blogger this Friday since many of you will be getting a head start on all of that holiday shopping.

Great twist – I too am sooo thankful for red wine, red wine, red wine, and red wine! I like how you decided to change things up a little and mention the material things because it’s just as important to have an attitude of gratitude for the “stuff” in our lives. So allow me to raise a glass (of red wine, of course) and say Happy Thanksgiving to you and yours. Cheers!
LOL change the red to white and omit the boxed mashed potatoes (sorry, but it’s gotta be the REAL thing) and my list would be almost identical!
I hope you have a wonderful Thanksgiving. Fun list!
Love it. Let’s hear for red wine. And coffee. Some days it’s hard to know which to go for first… 😉
Happy Thanksgiving!!
Happy Thanksgiving to you too, i will be braving the black Friday shopping this year with some girlfriends, wish me luck!
Who has wine?? Did someone say wine??
Cheers to you and Happy Thanksgiving! Enjoy the weekend with your family!!
I’d go one step further with the computer thing and say wireless internet!
Happy Thanksgiving to you too!
Funny and totally true. I have a sappy Thanksgiving post and another Thanksgiving post a little like this where I list some of the tangible things for which I’m thankful. Both are important!
Happy Thanksgiving. I can’t believe your computer wasn’t higher on the list! 😉
Ha! I needed a good smile & yes having someone else cook the turkey is always a great thing. My in-laws will be doing that for us & we love them for it
love it. i did a twist on this as well and gave thanks to ME. oops
holy crap with the red wine, sista!
But tell us how you REALLY feel about red wine!
Excellent list of things to be thankful for. And I have to agree… boxed mashed potatoes are highly underrated.
But do you like red wine that comes in a box? Maybe with a fox?
Hear hear! I couldn’t have made a better list. Happy T-day!
I just wanted to join you in your praises for red wine (or really, any wine…I loves wine….) and strong coffee. Yes. Two things necessary for sanity and relaxation in a hectic (and fun!) life.
Oh I couldn’t live without wine, coffee, my blackberry and wireless internet
Happy Thanksgiving!
I’m thankful for white wine, white wine, white wine. Too paranoid about the teeth staining!
Enjoy your holiday!
I am so very thankful for wine, too, and for things that come in boxes! Boxes of all kinds! 😉
Happy Thanksgiving to you and your family! xoxo
Wine? Did I hear wine?
Thankful for you Heather and all the other great online friends I have made this year! xoxo Happy Thanksgiving!
Great list! I would have to add chocolate and horses and cats and my new Gap boyfriend jeans. Happy Thanksgiving!
Have a wonderful Thanksgiving!
1) my espresso machine 2) pink champagne 3) Sally Hansen’s fast dry nail polish
that’s the top 3 things i can think of off the top of my head. 😀
Red wine tops my list as well. Considering I shopped for wine before groceries for Thanksgivng
Happy Thanksgiving to you and yours!
I think you forgot Red Wine on your list? But, yes, I too love material things like my handy dandy computer. Happy Thanksgiving to you Theta Mom!
I love your list! I’m guessing you really like that red wine? 😉
Happy Thanksgiving!
Happy Thanksgiving Theta Mom! Love you list! Strong coffee and wine would be at the top of my list, too!!!
You’re so lucky to have your mom coming over to cook the turkey! You can relax with a glass of red wine while she pulls out the innards… I’m so jealous!
OK, yeah, it’s a little early for wine at that point, I guess.
Can you tell the in-laws are coming over and wine is my coping strategy??
I love your thankful list, especially the red wine. Oh and the red wine. 😉
I’m thankful for my brand new baby, days old! I’m in love again!
For me it’s strong black coffee too. It’s Starbucks in France if I feel homesick. It’s going down a size instead of up. It’s our house, the first place that feels like home since I left home 20 years ago. These are just a few. Happy Thanksgiving.
Happy Thanksgiving Heather! Red Wine is all over my list too. And white wine. And wine in a box with a fox. Just with wine…please. Hope you had a wonderful day!
Coffee and red wine? Yup, right up my alley
Except I’m finding in my advancing age, I need more of a mild red wine…bummer!
Miraclebody Jeans!?! What are those? Must check those out!
Hope you and your family had a wonderful Thanksgiving.
I’m also thankful for my iPhone, my giant couches, NetFlix, and homemade pizza.
Happy Thanksgiving!
Comfortable AND sexy bra?! Sign me up, I’ve yet to find one. Great list
I’m thankful for those things as well!
Love them all! Especially the Spanx!!! (P.S. tried the Spanx bathing suits this year and wasn’t a fan, but the rest of it is gold.)
I’m thankful for many of the same things– I give thanks almost daily of my wine and coffee.
Hope you had a wonderful holiday!!
