Thanksgiving is that wonderful time of year where we celebrate parades, football, overeating, days off from work, and some other things I've entirely forgotten about. Here are some things I'm giving thanks for in 2010...
10. The old man in our toll booth lane who was wearing a stuffed turkey on his head making our Turkey Day drive that much more enjoyable.
9. O|A|R playing on my iPod. My love for music and amazement of advancing technology has been crammed into one spectacular device. If it weren't for my iPod it's possible I would not survive some days at work, I might never clean the house, and I would be bored stiff on road trips!
8. Sweatpants and my leather couch. Oh, what would I do without the world’s best comforts? I didn't manage to escape the winters by moving to Boston, so when days get cold, I grab a book, get in my jammies and crawl under a blanket as if snowmageddon was taking place outside my door. It is one of the most relaxing, most comfortable feelings in the world!
7. Pizza Fridays: Not only am I thankful to have a job in this economy, but I love having an employer who treats me to lunch every Friday. I look forward to pizza on Fridays for many reasons, one being that I don't have to make lunch in the morning, which means I can hit that snooze button a few more times. That extra sleep is precious going into the weekend!
6. All the things I couldn't live without on a daily basis... Diet Coke, the internet, perscription strength deoderant, etc.
5. Sampler Packs. It is fun testing out different varieties of beer and the sampler pack is the perfect way to do so without spending a fortune on just one beer. And even if there's a bad one in the bunch, you don't have to choke down too many. This time of year is notorious for seasonal brews. Which reminds me, have you tasted the Sam Winter yet this year?
4. Red Box DVDs. Thank you Red Box for making it so convenient and affordable to spend the perfect night cozied up at home with my wonderful boyfriend.
3. My at times crazy, but mostly lovable yellow lab - Kenzie. No matter how angry, frustrated or irritated I am from the day, her wagging tail and “miss you” licks melt it all away. Who wouldn’t be thankful to have such a wonderful pet? And the best part is, she doesn't talk back!
2. My good health, which has allowed me to live the life I love... traveling, hiking, golfing, snowboarding, etc. I like the outdoors and exploring everything it has to offer. There is great joy in seeing the world from the summit of a mountain you just worked so hard to climb.
1. And finally, I am thankful for having such great friends and family!! You are all brilliant, inspiring, and can make me laugh out loud even on the worst days. My relationship with each and every one of you has molded me into the person I have become today.
This year we spent Thanksgiving in Sunapee, NH. We went with Mike and Hannah to Hannah's family Thanksgiving. There were lots of people, all very welcoming, which was very appreciated since we had to spend the holidays away from home. We ate too much food and desserts (of course), played some two hand touch football in the backyard, and had some entertaining conversations into the night. All in all, it was a great Thanksgiving. Much thanks to Hannah and her family for inviting us and making us feel so welcomed!
Happy Thanksgiving to you and yours!!
