One of my Lists: Thanksgiving 2008

I have decided to give myself exactly 10 minutes to think of, and write down here, what I am thankful for at this precise moment in my life.....enjoy.

The wireless Internet that I am stealing from one of my neighbors

That I have started reading on a regular basis again

The strange introspective internal examination into my life that has surfaced from my reading the "Twilight" series of books. Its weird but has been intriguing. I heart Edward Cullen.

My dog Stevie

Mizzou Football

Netflix

That I have started losing weight again

That I still have a job

That Connie's surgery went better than expected

That I am not disappointed by the decision to not have a birthday party.

That I have discovered a new group of friends to hang out with, that like to do the same kind of things I like to do

That I am still very close to people that I went to high school and college with

That I am not worrying about money right now

That my hair is again long enough to wear curly and not look like a mushroom head

That I am comfortable enough with my strange pop culture obsessions to not be embarrassed by them

That in just a couple of months, we will have a new president. And we will finally find out what kind of dog the Obamas decided on

That I don't have a problem with very last minute trips, or traveling alone

My awesome cell phone, and that I have embraced text messaging

That I am not more annoyed that I cancelled my digital cable and can no longer DVR my shows. I don't miss it near as much as I thought I would

That gas is cheaper

that I still believe in love

That I can say corny things like the above without a hint of sarcasm

That I have been mildly successful in my resolution to be less judgemental.

That I found a pair of jeans that I love and fit perfectly

That more and more places have started to have Caffeine Free Diet Coke or Pepsi on fountain.


So time's up and that's all I got...Happy Thanksgiving everyone. One more holiday I don't like after this (Christmas) and then its on to my 3 favorite...right in a row!

If you couldn't guess, they are: Mardi Gras, Valentines Day, and St. Patricks Day

WooHoo!
