12 Unique things that I'm thankful for

1. My bunny slippers. You haven't lived if you've never hopped around the house in bunny slippers. Also, put them in front of the heater and then they're warm and toasty and twenty times better than they usually are.

2. Dark chocolate peanut butter cups. Whoever made them first was a genius and they have my eternal gratitude. They're even better than regular peanut butter cups.

3. My little 'dumb' phone. Yes, I still have not joined the ranks of the iPhone army, much to the chagrin of almost everyone around me. There are definitely times when it's a pain in the butt and I wish it was a little bit smarter. But my Brave Little Phone has endured so much and comes up swinging every time I drop it, I don't think I could bear to part with it. 

4. That this happened:

7. PRiMA theatre. Not only am I doing work that I love, but they're flexible with my schedule and wonderful people to work with! It's been such a blessing to be able to get my "theatre fix" every week, while still being at home.

8. My experience at NTI. Not just incredible people, but an incredible opportunity to hone my craft and learn so much. Plus I met John Krasinski. And Hal Prince. And Paula Vogel. And Hunter and Jeff. And our class got a personal email from Sarah Ruhl while we were working on Eurydice. Just saying. #braggingrights

9. My weekly tv nights with Sara. I didn't grow up watching tv. And I definitely never got to have "tv dinners." But something that started with "Jason's going out tonight, want to come over and hang out?" turned into a weekly time of fellowship and food. That makes it sound so official and pretentious... Basically we eat pizza and watch Project Runway. And Bones.

10. Speaking of Sara.... this little bundle of joy. She's the only baby in my life and I'm loving it.


11. Books. I've always loved to read, but didn't have as much time as I would have liked in high school and college. Now that I'm done with school, I'm discovering that love again, and it's been wonderful.

12. Puzzles. Mom and I do puzzles together over the winter, when we both have more down time. My dad thinks we're crazy. But we love them. And we're crazy about finishing them.
