Thanksgiving Eve

Well, it's Thanksgiving Eve.  The night before.  We still have no plans for tomorrow.  It's ok, and we'll deal with it.  Tonight, I'd like to take some time to thank some folks:

I'm thankful for my husband.  He works his butt off every day for those things we need and those things we want.  He is a great dad and a great husband...thanks, Kevin.

I'm thankful for my kids.  They are smart and funny and sweet.  I never lack for hugs around here, and their warped sense of humor is a perfect image of my own.  I love you, kids.

I'm thankful for my parents.  The perfect balance of discipline and love.  The folks who kiss me and hug me and tell me how important I am...EVERY time I visit. I love you guys.

I'm thankful for my mother-in-law.  She is an incredible person who accepts me for who I am, and loves her family unconditionally.  She'd shoot someone for faulting her family.

I'm thankful for my job.  There are many folks who are looking for work and wondering how to feed their families.  I have a job.

I'm thankful for my house.  It has problems and faults and issues, but it's mine.  It's MINE, dammit.  I love my house.

Oh, and I'm thankful for my online buddies.  Many different views and insights.  I'm OK with that.  I love you guys.  You help define me.

I have a lot to be thankful for.  God Bless you all.  If you have  1/3 the blessings I've had, then you're blessed indeed.

I'm thankful for most of that same stuff too -- except replace "kids" with "pets".  You have an awesome day off and eat tons of stuff and take a long nap.  If you're free on Friday, Sim and I are gonna be at the Peanut on Friday afternoon.  Anne and Andi (She Said What? blog) might show too.  I love you, buddy!!!
