Well, it's been (ahem) quite awhile since I've blogged! When I started this sucker, I thought I would have all kinds of things to post about. I mean, I love to talk, often and about anything and everything, so I thought blogging would be right up my alley! Turns out its harder to put those ramblings into a coherent piece.
That said, I'm sitting at my parents with a belly full of Turkey and the satisfaction of a good euchre win, feeling especially contented and happy tonight, and wanted a way to express just how thankful I am. For so many things - the biggies, like a new job which I'm so lucky to have found, a warm bed and plenty of food, a certain fella' who puts up with all of my quirks, neuroses, and ramblings, and of course, my family. My family. I could write a book and still not express my gratitude to my parents, siblings, grandparents, the Rotten Babies, and all the cousins, aunts, and uncles who have been my best friends, biggest cheerleaders, and most strident defenders for the past 30 years.
Moving on to the smaller things - can I tell you how pumped I am that mint Hershey's kisses are once again upon us? WHY do they only make those 3 months out of the year?? And how about holiday movie season? Morning Glory, Unstoppable, Fair Play, Love & Other Drugs, Country Strong. The list goes on. I am so thankful for modern technology so I could watch my 5 year old nephew Henry be "Narrator 2/Pilgrim" in his kindergarten Thanksgiving play. I was so proud of him. Hands down the smartest, handsomest, best actor of the bunch. (Not that I'm biased at all!) Other things that are on my "I'm lovin' it" list at the moment: the new Kid Rock CD; how riveting the new John Grisham book, The Confession is; the new cozy sweater I found at Target and added to my collection; IU BASKETBALL IS BACK!!; listening to the rain on the sky lights; Pegs & Jokers night at the Millers; and, last but not least, the fact that my new bangs turned out cute. Whew - they're a big commitment, folks, and bad bangs can turn a good day sour in a hurry.
Happy Thanksgiving to everyone - I hope you have a great day full of turkey (or ham, pizza - whatever floats your boats), family, laughing, and napping. I know I will!
