Thanksgiving morning.
I am up a little early for a day off, and I already have sweet potato casserole (technically they're YAMS) in the oven heating up, coffee made, the cats fed, the Christmas tree lights on, and myself showered. Quis just called to say that she and her boyfriend (I'm pretty sure I can call him her boyfriend, but regardless - for friends and family that have not met him, I want you to know that I highly approve of this new relationship. Seriously. You know how sometimes your friend will start dating someone, and secretly you're thinking - man, what is she thinking? (No, I'm not talking about YOU. I love YOU. LOVE. YOU.) Well, this guy is awesome. And they make me happy just being around them; they're all giggly and stuff. Sweet.) are running a little late, so here I am. Look at me, two posts in one week, even!
In the spirit of the day, here are just a few of the many things I am thankful for:
My dad. Here's him teaching me everything I need to know about Jerry Garcia.
He started me out early.
My mom and Lynn. Have you ever seen such a cute picture?
Can you believe Lynn will be wearing a cap and gown in six months?
Andreia. Somehow her pictures always come out magical. This was taken on our "sister trip" to
Ruidoso before I left for AmeriCorps. Isn't she pretty?
Sarah and Tim. Who wouldn't love these jokers?
I'll be wearing my best lampshade tomorrow night, in honor of the great fun I'll be missing.
Another picture of Sarah, because really - this just sums her up as a person.
Aww, warm fuzzies.
Okay, this is just a gratuitous photo of myself, because hello... Elmo slippers, people!
And I wish I still had that sweater.
Other things I am thankful for, images not shown:
Brad, who called me from work yesterday to tell me that he could smell my perfume on him, and it made him happy. I'm so lucky.
All of my friends, including the ones I still need to write, call, email, beg forgiveness from. I love you. You are my sunshine. Yes, YOU.
Brad's family (MJ, Bruce, Mike, Katie) - Yay, more family to love!
Stella and Sasha. You drive me crazy - but still, I wouldn't trade you for any other nuerotic cats, like, ever. Kisses.
Coffee. Three cups so far.
Thanksgiving, ROCK!
Lucy loves you |
