Happy Thanksgiving

Every year people sit around a table piled high with food and testify to what they are thankful for during the past year.  The one thing they should all be thankful for is that they are not that poor dead bird all spread eagle on the table!  In keeping with the spirit of this tradition here are 10 things I'm thankful for (in no particular order).

 

1. I'm thankful that my family isn't as crazy as other families.  (This is where you can assume it is your family I'm referring to.)
2. I'm thankful for any meds which my family may currently be taking to quiet those internal voices!
3. I'm thankful that I'm able to take the CTA to work and catch up on MUCH needed sleep, reading or boy watching.  Haven't missed my stop yet!
4. I'm thankful my credit card bill hasn't increased this year.  Hasn't really decreased much either...
5. I'm thankful for my friends who call me after a night of drinking to remind me what I did the night before.  Yeah...thanks a lot!
6. I'm thankful we all have one less year of the Bush administration.  No more Bush family in office please! However I might make special dispensation for that cute nephew... :) 
7. I'm thankful my feet aren't in constant pain anymore!
8. I'm thankful to live in the mid-West.  No hurricanes, forest fires or floods here!
9. I'm thankful for getting shit canned from that hateful job at Equity.  Good riddance to bad rubbish!  (To my former managers not the staff.)
10. Finally, I'm thankful for having so many special people in my life who actually take the time to read this stuff!  Happy Thanksgiving!
