i forgot...cows, baseball, home improvement projects, toilet paper, hot showers, baths, electric blankets, food, pizza, computer printers, weddings, the sounds of babies crying, the sounds of children laughing, childrens books, Harry the Dirty Dog, and blah, blah, blah, blah, blah...

Sabrina E. Ogden said...

I also forgot...flashlights, I'm totally in love w/flashlights, umbrellas, winter coats, metal lunch boxes (I take my lunch to work in one almost daily), picnics in the park, the smell of the ocean air, the breeze in my hair, hot chocolate with marshmellows, the way my husband helps with the dishes, the street vendors that sell those really cool hats on the streets of NY, my bosch, perfume so I can smell sexy, and so many other things that I can't possibly name them all in a blog post. Feel me?

Incredible list Grasshopper! I don't get "Hallmarky" very often but you've inspired me to actually make a list with my girls this Thanksgiving. We always try to come up with that ONE thing that encapsulates what we are truly thankful for - but this is going to be so much more fun to see what a 10 year old and 16 year old come up with.

Unknown said...

I am soo glad you are soooooooo thankful for all the wonderful things in your life. All of us should follow in your footsteps. By the way I love cows too.

Sabrina E. Ogden said...

purses, pedicures, and shoes...my Reacher Worthy eyes, my favorite pair of jeans, Andrew Grant for inspiring me to be better, Janet Reid for taking Andrew Grant as a client, this list will never end will it?

Christine said...

Thanks for the reminder to be THANKFUL, even though we will be celebrating this wonderful time of year in two days. As a family we will go around the table and have each family member be thankful for at least one thing, before we say the blessing on the food. I am thankful for life, the beautiful mountains, the snow and the picturesque scenery it provides from God. Thankful for good friends. Good wishes to everyone. Thanks Sabrina/Kate, you are very fortunate.

Christine said...

No, it never does if we will only be aware of EVERYTHING that is given to us.

I'm thankful for good friends, a great husband & family, & your hilarious and fascinating blogs, keep up the awesome post, and Happy Thanksgiving :) :) Love the pic of you & Richard. Cute couple!

Dennis said...

I think you forgot your dogs.

Sabrina E. Ogden said...

My dogs are listed Denis...COPPER-DORA...but I did forget the Whittle family, probably because its close to Whipple family. I also forgot double chocolate mint fudge during Christmas season, the mountains after the first snow fall, leaving work early due to blizzards, the feel of the sunshine on my face, sunglasses, the smell of rain and freshly cut grass, graveyards for their serenity, cathedrals for their symbolism...passports so you can travel (I don't have one, but it is on my list of things to do), I'm thankful to know what it is like to be loved, and what it means to love...

Sara said...

Oh Sabrina, you are just the little ray of sunshine I needed this morning. Thank you for being you!

I forgot about free shipping from Barnes and Noble and the New York subway system with all the beautiful tile work and the people that play music while you're waiting for the next train. I'm thankful for my new sidekick book blogger Senator Gravett. I can't wait to read his reviews.

Erin said...

I am thankful that you are my sweet boy's nursery teachers. He LOVES you guys and he loves that Richard calls him "cowboy" Every time he puts on his boots, he tells us "My teacher calls me cowboy" I Love that he loves you two and that you are helping to shape him into the little boy that he is and will become....as with all those little ones!! They love you and look up to you!! Thank you for being someone special to them and someone wonderful to look up to!!!

Sabrina E. Ogden said...

I forgot book signings...and planning my vacations around some of the greatest people to ever walk the planet. Can't wait for a trip to Chicago to meet my most favorite author and his incredibly talented and beautiful wife. They make me happy!

Dennis said...

I stand corrected, I should have known you wouldn't forget them.

You are far too kind to my grumpy self. :-P
