What I'm Thankful for...

Happy Thanksgiving Everyone. I hope every ones day is filled with family and food. Break out your moo moo girls, it's time to eat.

I am so fortunate to have a long list of blessings in my life. I am really thankful for them all, but I thought I would share a few of the more unconventional things I am thankful for. You know me, I'm usually rather unconventional. Here goes........

I am thankful I have a husband who does not have the need to pass gas every time he is in my presents or even every time he walks in a room. Isn't that what brothers are for? (or even a brother-in-law) Was that a frog or a duck? Oh, it was the "dog"!

I'm thankful for my mom who always, always "Has a great idea!"

I'm thankful for my brothers that can't tell a joke to save their life, but can make me laugh so hard I cry or have to pee!

I'm thankful my brother married a girl who loves to shop at Goodwill as much as I do. Yeah, we're a classy group, DON'T JUDGE ME!

I'm thankful for my lousy uncomfortable bed. I once saw a documentary about a group of women who live out on the African plain ( I think that is where they were) who slept sitting up, Indian style, propped up on one arm with their neck all kinked over to that side while holding their smallest child in their lap with their other arm. Why did they sleep this way you ask? So bugs didn't crawl in their ears! *UUUUUUUUUUUUUUGH! shiver* Now be thankful you don't sleep in the dirt!

I am thankful for my husband's family that still loves me even though I stole their Mark off to that dreaded Arizona. p.s. I thank God everyday for Arizona! I need the sun!

I'm thankful I live in a country where a girl like me can run her own business. I'm thankful for my partner in crime who I share my place of business/torture. I wouldn't want to get lost with anyone else. (GPS, don't go anywhere without it!) I am thankful for vain women. I am thankful for every client of mine that wants to look younger, prettier, and less hairy and isn't afraid to pay the price for it in money and pain! Eyelash extensions, bikini wax and chemical peels, oh my!

I'm thankful for my long time girlfriends. They love to laugh, lunch and shop. Each of my very best girlfriends, though they all live far away now and I miss them, have a Coach outlet store near them! I love you girls!

I'm thankful there is a Walgreens on every corner at every Arizona intersection. The reasons for this are many, but it basically comes down to needing cookies at 9:30 at night.(or anything with major amounts of sugar. Low carb much?) I mean, not that I ever went to Walgreens for cookies at 9:30 p.m., but this way Mark doesn't have to drive very far and he gets back pretty quick. Don't forget the milk!

I'm thankful for my smallish size 6 and a half feet. At least I can still wear one size I wore in high school! Pass me another Fudge Stripe please.

I'm thankful for Christian parents that rarely took us to church. I can't say I was ever thankful for tights and shiny dress shoes. Sunday dress up clothes were a drag and the pews were so hard and uncomfortable and the minister sooooo boring, but we are blessed to be saved and if the lack of a bit of church means I'm "pushing a broom in heaven" (as my Dad always says), well that doesn't sound to bad (I've pushed a few brooms).

I'm thankful for spell check so I don't look like a completely uneducated boob. I am also thankful for the dictionary given to me for my high school graduation, which I use now more than ever so I know how to correctly spell words like moo moo and pew. Spelling, not my strongest subject. Might want to work on the grammar too.

I think we are all thankful for the big things in our lives, family, a good husband or wife, (I could use a good wife myself) children if you have them (dogs if you don't), good health, good friends and neighbors, our free country and the soldiers who fight or have fought for us and others, so we all don't have to. Don't forget to take the time to be thankful for the little things too.

Now pass the black olives, I've got ten empty fingers and it's time to eat!

Happy Thanksgiving!

All my best,

Les ;)
