what i'm thankful for or... a lousy excuse to not come up with an original idea

thursday 13

with the thanksgiving holiday now an entire two weeks behind us i think it is about time to do a list of the 13 things i am most thankful for... in no particular order

1. my family- this one is pretty a standard and obvious one on the list to anyone who has a family that doesn't completely suck and even some who's families do completely suck

2. my job- well... not my job so much as the fact that i have a job to speak of. it is a complete blessing that in this economy when 500,000 jobs were lost in the month of november and nearly half of those in retail that i can still drive 45 min and get berated for not doing my job as well as i should and still have it.

3. music- this makes the list because that part that we played with the solo kicks my ass...

4. thanksgiving is over- it is pretty amazing how that holiday lasts and lasts and lasts... especially for me. my thanksgiving started on november 2nd, with my nana and papa and the rest of my dad's side of the family (because of my grandparents snow-bird status) and finally ended earlier this week when my mom threw out the rest of the leftovers . not that i don't love the food and the socializing but it's not an enjoyable thing to eat your self into a 6,000 calorie coma and then work at 8 am the next day.

5. bragging rights- i completely love a good in your face and to all of those how got an in your face from me recently... thank you ... oh yeah and "in your face" again

7. having time at christmas to spend with family and friends- in the 8 years i've worked in jewelry i have never been able to do anything with my family, friends, or by myself during chrismas. working 60 plus hours consistently put a stop to that pretty much every year... this might just be the best recession ever.

8. dec 27-

9. that i'm almost done with this blog and it's not even 12:30- sweet, bedtime

10. the number 6- for being such a disposable, unimportant number

11. that family was so far up on the list that i can actually put it again for #12 and no one will really notice.

12. my family- this one is pretty a standard and obvious one on the list to anyone who has a family that doesn't completely suck and even some who's families do completely suck

13. my girlfriend- she's really special to me and makes me happy

i hope everyone had a very happy holiday and two weeks since then... unless you've pissed me off then i hope you got herpes

I'm thankful that I even made it on your list even if i only ranked #13 and i placed below bragging rights, that thanksgiving is over, the #6, and your family twice. You're the freaking best boyfriend ever! Remind me later to tell you where you place on my list.
