What I am thankful for.

For those of you who don't have the pleasure of getting snapped at when you ask me how I am spending my Thanksgiving, I'll tell you here. Today is Thursday. We are not celebrating any holiday. It will be a day of working for me, and dinner at Ruby Tuesday for the two of us. We just aren't feeling very thankful.

To be honest, there was a vote in our house. I voted against any holiday celebrations. Jenn vetoed me. Well, I let her win. I get no Thanksgiving, and together we will have Christmas. It will suck, and I will change the channel on my radio every time Elvis starts belting out Blue Christmas. No, that is a lie. I will sing along changing the words to suit us better. I'll have a blah Christmas, without Blue.... (I wrote this before Mrs. Spit commented on yesterday's post...Mrs. Spit made me smile!)

I am thankful. There is lots to be thankful for. So...I'm listing some. No, not everything I am thankful for is on this list. If you find that I have missed something huge, please let me know, and I will add it. (the first two are in a particular order, after that, it was just how things fell into my head)

• Jenn
• Blue. Even though he isn't in my arms, he is in my heart. And his teddy bear holds my hand every night.
• All the other angels in heaven looking down on us, not only the ones I have sent, but the ones we have all sent.
  
• Minnesota (my dog, not the state)
• Michigan (my cat, not the state)
  
• Mom, Dad, Marshall
• Lyz, Chris, Avery, Tadpole
• Joni and Dennis
• That Joni found Dennis
• Elissa, Jim, Skyler, Austin and Annabelle
• Brandi and Kristen
• All of my blog friends, without whom I have no idea how I would have made it through these past few months.
• A wonderful job where I am treated like part of the family.
• A roof over my head. (I can't say it keeps me warm, as I don't use the heat, but it does protect me from the elements)
• That friends read my blog and email me when I chide them for never calling me to get my phone number since their phone fell in the toilet.
  
• All of my extended family.
• That Jenn was able to find a job, that she loves, in this horrible economy.

Okay, I'm stopping here. Yes there is plenty more that I have to be thankful for, but these are the things that I am most thankful for.

Enjoy your turkeys, or tofurkies as the case may be. I'll be enjoying my salad bar with yummy periwinkle (or you may call them pumpernickel) croutons. Wishing you all tons of things to be thankful for. May we have many more next year.
