this week is thanksgiving and in the spirit of the holiday, i’m going to run down the top 20 things i am most thankful for this year. I know it’s early, but i may forget on the day (and i need to kill some time before its lunchtime)
These are in no particular order after #1.
1. my husband, the Brit – he’s my rock and my sanity and he makes me unbelievably happy. and he can iron a mean bedsheet.
2. my job. i’ve been reading a lot about the financial troubles in the US and around the globe and i am so very thankful that I am secure
3. Barack Obama – he makes it cool to be american again
4. Turkey – it tastes so yummy
5. Wii- for endless hours of diversion while waiting for the husband to come home from work
6. Friends here and across the ocean – you know who you are
7. My family
8. Online shopping from America
9. Knowing that I am loved
10. My work mates – they make work not seem like work
11. Fluffy blue dog slippers
12. Flannel gnome pajamas
13. Being able to travel home to America/London to visit family
14. My family being cool enough to actually warrant a visit
15. Long distance calling cards
