I got a half day at my vanilla job thanks to the snow storm that never happened. So I went to go look at an apartment, this guy has all but guaranteed me this studio they are renovating (which he has he has never done this before) and as I was leaving his office he said he would try to keep the final rent as low as possible since I'm a nice girl. Which seems silly but it was so nice to hear. I am def. old enough to know life is not fair but I feel like I am constantly fucked over and knowing that someone wants to do me just a small favor was so sweet.

I am grateful for my awesome customers that are a pleasure to hang out with and hand money over to me so easily. I'm grateful for my husband who spoils me and laid down some amazing sex last night. I'm grateful for my photography class that I'm having so much fun in. I can't wait to enroll in school full time again. I love being on campus and learning new things. I'm grateful for my perfect little boy who is so funny, cute and smart. Seriously I'm the luckiest mom ever.

Snuffles: Rapid weight loss is never as pretty as the media makes it out to be, IME, and also watching many loved ones gain/lose quickly has influenced my opinion of crash diets negatively. I don't mind being a little chubbier for longer with radiant skin and cute cheeks! Props to you for taking your time.

What I'm grateful for: I've been super close with a woman I met online when I was 14, so almost 15 years ago. She was like a big sister (~4 years older) I never had growing up, and now we're closer than ever. I was an only child so these relationships are precious to me.

Anyway, she's getting married soon! And she told me that I'm as much a bridesmaid as her biological sister, who she has a great relationship with. We've talked about how we felt like sisters before, but I didn't think I could ever come close to a 'real' one during something like a wedding, not knowing what those relationships are like. I figured I'd be in a 'good friend' role, but nope, she said I'm family.

Even if that weren't the case, I can't wait for the wedding! I'm so blessed to have her in my life, and her relationship with her fiance is beautiful. I can't wait to be an 'agnostic mother' to their babies, too.

None of my other friends want to get married and have babies, so this is so exciting! (FWIW, I never want to get married or have babies, lol.)

I'm grateful that it rained last night for all my new plants. I'm grateful to live in a climate where I can plant flowers in January. Aaaaaand I'm grateful to have the use of my body so that I'm able to work outside and make the world a more beautiful place.

Awww, I'm so happy to see another gardener on here! I miss gardening. There is seriously nothing more pleasant than having your hands in the dirt and being surrounded by the smells and textures of Mother Earth.

My pretty new apartment :D
The leasing agent was SO nice when we moved in; I showed up and was like "Hey I have my bf in the car with my 2 dogs, my friend and her kid in their truck and trailer with all my stuff, and I need to leave in an hour to drive bf to work. Can we be fast?" She was super quick about paperwork and the walk-through. It's pouring rain and my dogs came tearing into the place, wet paws on the brand new carpet (JUST what a leasing agent wants to see) and she just laughed and petted them.

She also seems to be turning a blind eye to my bf living there for a short period until we get him on the lease; she actually agreed that waiting would be smart so hopefully me already being there and being a good tenant for the first month would get the manager to waive his extra deposit (they wanted up to an extra $1000 bc he has awful credit, 2 misdemeanors and an eviction).

Yaaaay

I'm grateful that my Grandpa is do better after his heart attack and stint surgery afterwards. I went over Saturday morning to help my Grandma take care of my Grandpa and spent the whole day with them. While my Grandpa napped on his recliner, while we shared a blanket and sat on the couch watching TV.

Dude, 100% agreed. One of my favorite things about my apartment is that I have my very own private, wholly unlandscaped yard. I get to plant whatever I want! Right now I'm super grateful for it because I planted ranunculus, which make excellent cut flowers, so I have vases of huge sunny yellow and orange blooms in my bedroom and kitchen. OMG! And my poppies are starting to blossom. :yes: :yes:

I'm also eternally grateful for this beautiful, amazing planet, and to be alive and healthy! I am grateful for my eyes, ears, brain, heart, and everything else in working order. I'm grateful to be able to live this amazing experience called life.

I'm sooo grateful that something horrible I had to do yesterday, that I was dreading is finally over! (Don't feel comfortable putting what it is out here in an open forum, but believe me, it was something You never want to go through) I handled it with grace and charm. So grateful the messy and confusing deed is FINALLY done, and I can breathe a sigh of relief!8)

I'm so thankful that for once something is going good and right in my life. I've been gifted a house, a house! A family member has gifted my family a home that not only is beautiful and more spacious, but that will cut my monthly bills by about $500.00!!!! I couldn't be more grateful or excited. I don't even think I'll mind the moving process too much! Finally my own cam room!!! :)

So my husband isn't a big gushy talker, but for some reason yesterday he came up to me while im doing my makeup and goes "Are you getting ready to be so successful? So beautiful, my supportive babes, you make me so happy" and kissed my head.

So I'm grateful that I am loved and appreciated. Makes life so much easier, especially since I had a crappy night last night.

I've been trying to schedule a bunch of drs appointments forever but I find scheduling always such a pain in the ass. I finally saw my dermatologist yesterday and I saw a sign for a womens reproductive health center that does walk in hours a block away from work! Minor but makes me soooo happy.

Grateful for that coked out kid dropping thousands in VIP just to talk about Gossip Girl last night ('I'm CHUCK FUCKING BASS!!!!").
Grateful that the porn star features at the club last night all had super long black roots with their fake blonde. Was going to bleach my roots, but now...
Grateful that customers loved the bit of chub-spillover from the only clean thong I had left (it's way too tight). I told my SO and he was like, 'You didn't know that was hot?'
Mostly though, I'm grateful for my little herd. Me, the SO, our chinchilla, and our sweetie of a snake.

As odd as it sounds, I'm grateful for the passing of an old friend and mentor. By no means am I glad she's gone--I never got to say goodbye--but she went peacefully and suddenly in her home this weekend. She was an amazing person. Ornery, combative, and ready to hug you anyway by the end of the fight. She also wasn't very old at only 50 and her health was excellent. She'd just finished a degree, gotten a promotion, and was looking forward to traveling again soon. She had all these plans and had just joked that she 'had another 30 years, at least, to annoy us all.' I'm grateful that there was no suffering in her passing.

I'm also grateful for the wake up call. Here I've been, lazing about and half-heartedly making plans without a concern in the world, and someone comes along to remind me that it could all be over tonight. I'm tired of going to bed unsatisfied. This was the reminder push I needed to get off my ass and work for the things I want to accomplish in life instead of just leaving the list unfinished and growing. Tonight, I'm going to grieve. Tomorrow, I'm going to work.

I'm grateful that I can make my own schedule and if I need extra money, just stay longer. I love that when my transmission acts funny, I don't have to panic, because I can just go buy a new car and not worry about if I'll be able to make the payments. (Side note to car: please don't blow your tranny just because I said that).

Glad I remembered to buy a drain plug so I can take a bath.

Grateful that my dad is having a "good" day today apparently. He's 76, diabetic, and on lots of Oxycodone/morphine for a bad back, so he has a lot of "bad" days where he sleeps 14 hours, doesn't want to eat or talk, and is basically non-functional... really dangerous for an insulin-dependent person, he's narrowly missed going into a coma several times. Today he picked up the phone and was able to carry on a conversation and had actually made it to his Dr appt. and gone to work with my mom instead of making her take him home.

I am so grateful for my bf's awesome house insurance. I spilled water on my laptop a couple weeks ago and it was completely destroyed. He filed a claim and a brand new, beautiful MacBook Pro was delivered today. The 2014 edition so even nicer than the one I had previously... For only £100! (Our deductible)

The only negative is it has a British keyboard which looks strange. But I'm so glad to have my own computer now. I've been borrowing my bf's which means all my search history come up so no SW. Glad I can now waste away hours on the Internet in private.

I'm grateful for someone's oversharing on facebook. She's the sister of an ex of mine- she is putting all the family dirty laundry on her page & I now realize I dodged not a bullet but a BOMB by never talking to him again. His whole family is so fucked up and according to her my ex is only getting crazier with age. Ugh. I almost feel sorry for him but he's had way more opportunities than me & he managed to fuck up himself despite all that. I can only imagine where I would be had I married him...probably dead in a car wreck or some other dysfunctional event. Ugh but for the grace of God go I...

Grateful that my bf's dad offered to cosign so I can get a (hopefully) super awesome interest rate on a new car.... he can probably get it down below 5% :)

Also grateful that I have the $$ to a) buy a new car, and b) get a rental for a few days so I can get to work and shop around without being super under pressure to buy... salesmen smell blood when you pull up in a cab!

My body, which despite drinking a lot when I was dancing and a few close calls, is still in one piece and not going anywhere.
The fact that I never injured myself driving drunk when I was younger.
My-hopefully-awesome condo in May.

I'm grateful for the ironclad perseverance and strength that stripping allowed me to develop.

Today I met with a particularly icy and rigid professor to get an extension for my work this quarter. She was fighting against it pretty hard; telling me that she didn't think I would be able to finish the work, that the reading would be incomprehensible without her lectures, that the registrar wouldn't process the paperwork (which was totally untrue), that basically, I'd be better off doing anything but the very thing I decided would be best for me after lots of thinking and planning.

Well, she might be able to use that on her other students who aren't strippers. Not me, though. Bish, if I listened to every person who told me no...

I kept pressing and negotiating until she signed the paperwork. Now I can still graduate on time. Wheeee! Seriously, sometimes nothing convinces me that I can do something like someone telling me I can't.

I've had a couple bad days with my anxiety. If I worked a vanilla job, I would never make it. I took an extra day off this week because I was very panicked and anxious. I'm really grateful that I can just take a day off and still make enough money to pay my bills.

I'm really grateful that I have a loving fiance who can make me feel loved. Yesterday I was a wreck because my back and knees have been killing me! I'm only 22, so I think it's my camming set up. We talked and he said I really need to get a chair for in-between sessions instead of sitting on the edge of the bed like I have been doing. We went to the store to buy new stuff, but they didn't have anything I wanted. I made plans for this. I was so excited, and it felt like my dreams were stripped away at the time. I'm so grateful he was able to put things into perspective for me. He basically told me we could buy everything online. After that, I was still feeling kinda sad.

He got me some awesome hair stuff, some flowers, and a new bed set I really wanted for a long time! I woke up this morning and felt like an absolute Princess. We actually stayed in bed for a while just talking. A tiny little beam of sun was hitting my face, I could smell the flowers, and spring is finally here. Everything is perfect. I'm really happy.

I'm grateful I dreamed of my late uncle for the first time in years. I don't think it means anything special but just seeing him again (in a dream) made me wake up happy.
