Grateful Monday

In efforts to make this week better than last week, here's a list of things that I'm grateful for on this dreary Monday morning. In no particular order:

• All the students are on Fall Break, meaning more free parking and my sister is home
• Halloween plans in Boston and my booked plane ticket
• The song "Animal" by the Neon Trees and commercial free pop radio during my drive today
• Around 31 hours of sleep this weekend
• My forgiving family... and my mom's birthday today!
• I made an apple-butter spice cake and I have plenty for sharing. Any takers?
• My Yankees are playing at home tonight. For a win.
• My chartreuse corduroy skirt that I'm wearing at work today with tall brown boots

Hope your Monday is as full as mine.
