Top 10 Things I'm Grateful for This Thanksgiving

This Year, on this day of thanks, I'm grateful for so much. Here are 10 things I'm especially grateful
  1. I'm grateful for Facebook picture sharing to get me so much more sympathy that I deserved for getting hit in the face with the picture above. 
  2. I'm grateful for blenders that make fruit and spinach not seem so crappy when you mix them in a delicious smoothie. 
  3. I'm grateful for robes to make me feel more naked when i go to the hot tub. 
  4. I'm grateful for hot tubs to give me a reason to wear my robe 4x/week.
  5. I'm grateful for frozen yogurt to make bad first dates more bearable and appropriately short. 
  6. I'm grateful for the new Facebook sidebar so that I can find out that every 5 seconds a different friend is listening to a different song on Spotify. (What would my life be like without knowing which of my friends have song ADD?)
  7. I'm grateful for delicious foods that don't have carbs (yummmmmm turkey on homemade rolls 5 hours after Thanksgiving dinner (...let me keep this dream, don't say ANYthing proving me wrong)).
  8. I'm grateful for the GOP candidates for making Romney look so good by not looking like an idiot.
  9. I'm grateful for girls that are nice for reminding me why I date. 
  10. But most of all, I'm grateful for friends who love me no matter how many dumb things I say on my blog. 

For, as I always say, God gave us friends, that we might choose family.

So this Thanksgiving season, count your many blessings. 

We are all truly blessed!

  2. Are you familiar with Calvin Trillin? You should be. He's old. You're young. He's known. You're still being noticed. He's talented and so are you. So where's the short stories, the narrative, New Yorkeresque essays? You've already planted the seeds. Let's go see what sprouts. How'd I hear about you?... the vampires I blog for told me. Some nights are quiet. They read a lot. And they really know.

  3. Thanks for the response. We love comments. Come back anytime. Take as much space as you like. Make it like a guest post (which I would set up, if I knew how.) You DO have a WITTY, LITERATE VOICE. Get used to it. Other people MUST NOTICE it too.
