Today I am grateful for rain, getting bank charges waived, staying calm, texting (especially with people in other time zones), Mad Men On Demand sans commercials, decaf iced tea, a solo drive, a chat with my BFF, my thrifty skills, And the Green Grass Grew All Around, waking up before Babyface and reading, health insurance, advice, and turning last night's Slow Cooker Homestyle Roast Chicken into Slow Cooker Chicken Pot Pie based on a recipe I found in Real Simple (swapped out milk for cream, more peas and carrots for green beans, and some frozen pie crust instead of puff pastry).
