2012 Thankful Thurs #9

1. JEANS! I found a pair of jeans that fit just as good as any other pair I've tried on. I found them at Target of all places.  They have color coded fits and short sizes for shorties such as myself!  Amazing. 

2. No one was hurt, maimed or otherwise physically or emotionally injured when Mrblocko and I attempted to fix Blockette's ceiling fan.

3. Said fan was unrepairable, and all three of us agreed on a new fan relatively quickly.

4. We actually got customer service at Home Depot.  (And some free popcorn and a free bag of fertilizer!)

5. Nothing was set a blaze when Mrblocko touched one of the wires with a plastic handled screw driver and sparks arced all over the floor.  (You'd think that if you flip the circut breaker that turns off the electricity for all the other rooms in the upstairs, it would turn off Blockette's ceiling fan...apparently not.)

6. Although there are a few gouges in the screw driver,  it still works just fine.

7.  Both the fan and light on Blockette's new ceiling fan function appropriately.  (Hooray!)

8. Mrblocko did not choose the most expensive bicycle in the shop. (Double hooray!!)

9. I found a loaf of Raincoast crisps in the freezer from over a year ago. I sliced them up, baked them and they were still just as delicious as ever.

10. Catching that $10 fee from the bank that shouldn't have been there, and getting it reversed.  (Makes you wonder how many people are getting charged a needless fee every month.)
