Happy Thanksgiving, my friends! I hope your day is filled with family, fun, and lots of forbidden foods! I myself will be taking a much-needed hiatus from my doctor-imposed South Beach diet–there may not be enough potatoes in North America to satisfy me today.

As I look at my life I am so thankful that…

  • I’m married to an amazing man with an even more amazing sense of humor. He cracks me up on a regular basis.
  • We have two fantastically funny kids.
  • Those kids are happy and healthy and smart.
  • Max is finally shedding his shell this year. He’s still shy, but he’s definitely finding his place.
  • Wild Thing is still performing for us. Man, do I love me some Wild Thing Theater.
  • We have a warm, comfortable house.
  • We have a kitty now.
  • I get to take my family to Iowa for Christmas to show them how I spent some of my own Christmases as a child. That is, running around like a crazy banshee playing with my bajillion cousins at my grandparents’ farm.
  • I have amazing friends. You know who you are. And in case I haven’t said it lately, I really do love you.
  • I have been able to meet some amazing ladies this year via my blogging addiction.
  • Christine’s husband is doing much better now!
  • This isn’t in my yard:

I’m jealous you get to go to Iowa for Christmas. My stomping grounds growing up was next door in Nebraska where much of my family remains.
Thanks for the update on Christine’s husband! So glad to hear things are going better.
And last but certainly NOT least…. you and your family have a wonderful and Happy Thanksgiving!
