Thankful Thursday: My birthday is coming!

I know I have not done a thankful Thursday post in awhile and I apologize for that.  Thursdays have become a rather busy day for me. I toyed with moving the day, but Thankful Mondays just doesn't have a good ring to it. Then I spent like half a second trying to come up with an adjective for "thankful" that would alliterate* with a day of the week well, but came up with nothin'.

Anyway, let's be thankful, publicly on the web, when we can and be thankful that it's possible!**

This week, I am most thankful, and astounded, that my birthday is next week.
Seriously, I think about my birthday way to much.  Less than a week to go!  I'll be off on my birthday (Wednesday, May 1, if you're interested), and driving most of the day to go stay with my parents for a few days.  Feel free to send me many gratuitous texts or blog comments.  Those are my two favorite forms of communication.

And if my birthday is next week, then my BFF's birthday is this weekend, which is just as good.
Because Amie knows how to do a birthday and do it right.  She has a weekend full of festivities planned, and I know I'll have just as much fun celebrating her birthday as my own.

Cinco De Moe's is coming
Have I mentioned that I love Moe's?  Sunday, May 5 they're serving $5 burritos with a drink in honor of Cinco de Moe's.

That I'm going to see my mama and daddy this next week.
I haven't seen them since Christmas and that is way too long.  Jill needs regular hugs from her parents and she's not afraid to admit that.***

I finally broke down and bought new work shoes.
I had worn holes in both pairs that I wear regularly.  Why is so hard to find shoes that are comfortable and appropriately dressy for work?

ARRESTED DEVELOPMENT IS COMING BACK IN ONE MONTH!!!!!
If you've never watched Arrested Development, you should.  It is one of the top three comedies ever made for tv.  Maybe it is even number one or number two.  And they've decided to bring it back for a limited run on Netflix.  If you need to catch up, the previous three seasons that originally aired in the early 2000s are available on both Netflix and Hulu.  Do it. You'll be thankful that you did. It just occurred to me that I should be rewatching the series in anticipation. New plan for all of my free time.

For my morning workouts with friends
Even if they do make me jello-y and sore a majority of the time.  These two are a great encouragement.

For Face time
I actually don't call anyone with my phone anymore.  It's just Facetime or texting for me (or snapchatting, I suppose), and I like it that way.

I feel like there are many, many things I am forgetting, but for now, I'm just going to be thankful it's Thursday!

*Can you use that word as a verb? Yes. Because I just did, sucker!
**Because, how thankful are we for the interwebs being a reality?? So thankful!
***Jill is also not afraid of speaking in the third person.
