thankful challenge, day 12...

today i am thankful for...

1.  our bathtub.  since we moved into our house (sept 2010) i have only used the bathtub once and it leaked.  i was luxuriating in the deep, extra long claw foot tub and heard a drip, drip drip.  i quickly exited the tub and let the water out to find out there were two leaks.  sooo sad!  when we started redoing our bathroom this summer we moved the tub outside.  it's been sitting out there since.  i did have remi take one bath in it while it was in the yard.  i was thinking that i could get some great pictures of him taking a bath outside but i forgot to take into account that i probably shouldn't be more than an arm's length away from the tub and not hiding behind a camera since remi was slipping and slidding all over the place.  two weeks ago, i had shawn bring the tub inside and i got it all hooked up yesterday.  sooo exciting!  i did end up over-tightening a piece that snapped off (drat!) but mcgyvered a temporary solution until i can get that taken care of.  remi took a bath last night and it was awesome!  i can't wait for my turn!  :)

2.  chapstick.  yes, i am one of the many that are addicted.  in fact, just thinking about it makes my lip scream out for some moisturizer.  (and i really looooove burt's bees brand - the best!)
