- my family
- my friends (yes.. I KNOW! Hands down this is the weirdest photo we've ever taken together..)
- my job
- books, books, books!
- spaghetti
- James Franco
- How I Met Your Mother (hands down the greatest television show ever made)
- cherry coca-cola
- Earth and being from the high five of America (well, during Spring, Summer, and Fall)
- my cell phone
- my education (Eastern Michigan and their entire cluster fuck of parking)
- Emagine and their comfy, reclining seats (and their creepy CEO who made it all happen; what's that weird basket in the seat next to him? I haven't the slightest clue!)
- stores that make your dreams come true
Yes, most importantly I am thankful for my family. My husband and two little daughters mean the absolute world to me. Most times when I read someone's description of how their family makes them feel, it makes me wonder if I'm doing it all wrong. Yes, I would do anything for the three of them and my life would never be the same without one of them in it.. but there are definitely things I'm not thankful for: waking up 2-3 times a night to find Piper's paci for 1 year and 2 months; or when your 4 year old talks back or says "duh" in response to a statement.
And yes, there are materialistic items on this list and I feel no shame. I feel that these ancillary items make my life exponentially better. If they were to disappear it would be hard on me for a while (okay, if James Franco disappeared I might have to call it quits). What's life without being thankful for some guilty pleasures?
Overall we had a good Thanksgiving. We had three stops on our list but decided that two would be enough. I hope everyone else had a wonderful holiday, and hey, if you don't celebrate I hope you took advantage of some awesome sales!
Sorry we're one month late, Canada!
