Alright, already
I guess I just needed to whine first. Here is my (non)obligatory list of things I’m thankful for, right this second.
1. TopChef – It’s a small life I lead, what can I say. Anyway, I just finished watching it.
2. My crockpot – working hard right now on chicken and dumplings, so I don’t have to.
3. My delightful nookular family – even the one with the ass trumpet.
4. My delightful extended family – especially the ones that cook well.
5. Antacids – I’m pregnant.
6. Our loyal readers – I know you’re there, even when I can’t see you.
I reserve the right to update this list throughout the day, since I’m making it up as I go, and it’s time to stir the oatmeal. In the meantime, I wish you all a happy thanksgiving, and I hope that you are able to find plenty of room for your 10,000 calories today, and the nap you’ll need afterward. Oh yeah, and protip: stay away from the tofurkey.
Edited at 9:45 a.m. to include:
7. Jackie’s brown sweater that she let me borrow.
8. Lip gloss.
9. The doodad that lets us continue to use the crockpot as we drive down the road.
Edited at 5:00 p.m. to include:
10. Curious George
11. My sofa corner
12. Colson Thanksgiving immunity
13. Car windows
14. The pile of dessert leftovers I unabashedly threw into the largest food storage container we own.
