first world thankfulness

In this season of thankfulness I bring you a list of my top 15 first-world gratitude list. Of course I'm thankful for my family, friends and baseball, but I wanted to go a little more shallow.  

1. The free vacuum at the gas station. I love few things things more than a clean car. Sometimes if I'm having a bad day I use the free vacuum to clean the car and it makes me feel like things are a little better.

2. The Dunkin Donuts app. Call me clueless but I had no idea it was a thing until a few weeks ago when Laura mentioned it. I can now earn points for free products using the money I'd be spending there anyway. The downside is I now know exactly how much I spend at DD and I'd rather be in the dark about that. 

3.  Group texts. Some people hate being stuck in group messages but with the right people it can be a party. A party where you can wear your comfy clothes and high bun and never have to leave your house. Michelle, Laura and blogless Toi are my very favorite group chat people. If I ever need advice on what to get at Trader Joes or a dispute solved between Christopher and I, they're my go tos. 

4. The dishwasher. It's a miracle machine. You put dirty dishes in and take out clean ones a few hours later. God bless the dishwasher and the repairman who frequently fixes ours.

5. The washing machine and dryer for the same reasons as listed above.

6. Cute phone covers. When I got my new phone I was torn between the flowered case and the glittery one. The only reason I didn't get the glittery one was I didn't like that the glitter wasn't covering the entire case. Someone in the world is probably still using smoke signals and carrier pigeons so even if I had ended up with the glitter NO BIG DEAL. 

7. Having so many scented candles I don't know which one to light first. 

8. My overflowing makeup bag. 

9. Leftover pizza. No explanation needed.

10. Having extra episodes of This Is Us.

11. Receiving an unexpected order of French fries.

12. Unsubscribing from emails.

13. A pull through parking spot.

14. Napkin dispensers at coffee shops. I always take more than I know I'll need to keep my glove compartment well stocked. The same goes for straws and sugar packets. Minus the cream I have a small coffee station in my car. 

15. Walgreens extra care bucks.

You're right about group texts, it's all about the people who are in them.
