Thankful in 2012

21 Nov

2012 has been a challenging year for everyone I know, and I think we have all grown a lot because of it. I am thankful for this growth. I am also thankful for these other things:

1. Hot dogs.

2. The power-ups Christopher De Voss gives me throughout the day. He’s 900 miles away, so I don’t even know how he does that. We’re like magical and stuff.

3. Magic and stuff.

4. Anything that eats spiders because I do not like those guys.

5. My budding hula hooping talent that will someday make me a vaudeville circus star.

6. That I never break my nose when I’m lying in bed and drop my phone directly on it.

7. My milkshake and the superabundance of boys it brings to the yard.

8. The roof over my head and the candy on my plate.

9. Laughter caused by Twitter. I can’t believe those people give that degree of funny away for free.

10. This surfing alpaca.

What are you thankful for?

    Though sometimes I wonder if it fell really hard, if I would have a legitimate excuse to get rhinoplasty then, because I have a morbid fascination with getting a secret identity…

I’m thankful for the hot, vanilla chai I’m sipping as I read your quirky, witty thankfulness. 🙂 Happy Thanksgiving La La.

All good things to be thankful for. I’m thankful for that big Rocky Mountain Chocolate Factory peanut butter cup I just ate. And I’m thankful for not feeling guilty for doing so thanks to my power workout earlier. And I’m thankful for bloggers like you who make me laugh. 🙂

I am thankful for the word thankful. If we didn’t have that word we couldn’t say we were thankful for anything! We’d just be all like, “Ice-cream good. Me good like vanilla chai latte. You me magic time.”
See what I mean?

Hot dogs number one, and I think you’ve mentioned them before. What toppers? Coney sauce, sauerkraut, onions, etc.? … Please don’t tell me hot dogs was a euphemism.

I thought you were taking a hiatus, and then realized WordPress stopped sending me notifications for your blog. Assholes.

I’m thankful I found this out so I could correct it.
