And the entries just keep spewing... But seriously, I've been meaning to post this for a bit, and I think it's sufficiently past Thanksgiving to be thankful again:-)
9 Things I'm Thankful For
(What do I look like, Letterman?)
1) My family- This is not to say that I wouldn't happy book a cruise trip without them, but overall I think I'll keep them.
2) My kids- Part of #1, but still worth mentioning. They drive me crazy, but they also remind me of so many things, and teach me a bit of patience in the bargain.
3) Being able to stay home with my kids- Close to a financial nightmare, but truly truly worth it.
4) Tom- For everything from hanging the Xmas lights to knowing when to get Will out of my hair.
5) NaNoWriMo- How writing a novel in a month or less can help my sanity, I'll never know, but it does. The craziness makes me do it, and the sense of accomplishment is amazing.
6) Writing in General- There is something empowering about creating people and worlds, and making them all dance on my strings. (Muahhahahaha) Whether it's literature or a story about mutant pineapples (that I still need to write), it's just fun playing with words.
7) Sleep- I don't usually get enough of it, but it's fun.
8) Coffee!- What more really needs said? It's heaven in a cup, a profound spiritual experience, and just plain yummy.
9) Nick- Yes, still a category in and of himself. Whether we're sitting at a table together or many states away, he's a constant in my life and I know I can always count on him when I need him.
Granted, 6 is kinda hard to work in with any of the others, but overall, there we go.
Crap, I do have a number 10. Oh well, Letterman doesn't have the monopoly on it...
10) I am thankful to be able to (sometimes force myself to) find the good aspects of bad things. It keeps me sane, as much as any of the others- well, moreso than a few of them...
Have something to add? What are you thankful for? Post away.

Posted by: Nick at December 7, 2005 11:50 PMNah, they're optimistic mutant pineapples, remember? They're driving themselves to Hawaii. Although maybe they could manage to drive there only to get trapped in Krogers... Do they have Krogers in Hawaii?
