40 Day Gratitude Challenge - Day 5

Haha I'm SO slow with this challenge but it's moving along:

Today I'm thankful for:

1. Snow!  I think you either love it or hate it.  For me, snow has it's inconveniences but it always bring back happy childhood feelings.  I remember living in my first house, looking up at the snow falling until it feels like I'm flying up towards the sky.  I guess this is why they say early childhood experiences are important in shaping your life?
   
2. Warm home - when it's cold outside, I feel blessed to be inside my warm house admiring the beauty.
   
3. Youtube - endless videos that show super talented people showcasing their skills.  It really opens up my eyes to what kind of gifts are out there.  Then again, I need to stay away from beauty reviews because it always makes me want to shop =S
   
4. The big kitchen warehouse sale.  I originally thought I couldn't go because it was by invitation only, but my colleague sent me her invitation so I could go.  Bought lots of kitchenware goodies.  I'm quite as addicted to kitchenware as I am to make-up.  Bought pie/cake pans, egg poacher, pancake stencils, mini sifter, a mini mandoline, an apple peeler/corer/cutter, and a bunch of random stuff I probably won't need but nice to have if I ever need it. :)
   
5. Vegas trip - we are going!  I was looking forward to traveling this winter holiday.  It's motivating me to get through the year one break at a time.  After this it's planning something for spring break =)  Let me know if you guys have ideas!  So far it's my sisters and Jason.  Gonna be a fun time!
   
6. Columbia jacket - bought it last time when Jason, his parents and I went to the states.  Jason is a Columbia fan because he loves all his jackets he gets from there so he convinced me that it's better than investing in another North Face jacket.  It was a great deal and is a double so I can wear both layers or just the thinner one underneath.  I think it'll really come in happy now that it's going to be a cold winter.
   
7. My car - yes it's been busted since the first month I got it due more to the crazy snowfall in 2008 more than my driving skills.  But despite it's ugly battle scars that make a 2 year old car look so beaten down, it's been reliably taking me to travel different destinations and giving me the freedom to go where I want.  I even made it down to Oregon and back!
   
8. Nails - this one is random but I've been into nail art since Paula did my nails and I'm happy to have relatively nicely shaped nails to work with.
   
9. Friends - don't see them a lot these days but it's nice they still remember me enough to send invites for gatherings.  Always nice to know that there are people out there who like me (well...most of the time anyways :D)
   
10. My bed - warm and snuggly and have been there for me for over 10 years.  Gonna jump in and bundle up now.  Good night!!!
