Grateful Journal 7/2

Well, I officially feel like a princess now (and after all I am the daughter of a King!!). This weekend of pampering and sleeping in late this morning really spoiled me. Yes, I know don't get used to it, right? But you can't blame a girl for trying!!! Needless to say I have much to be thankful for.

Today I'm grateful for the following:
-unexpectedly catching my friend Anita on WCW tongight
-Chatting with Anita. I still can't believe she lives in Canada!!
