Gorging Myself on Thanks

So it's officially the holiday season now, eh? A and I were cruising the aisles of Target last night, cooing like dorks over the cute wrapping paper and Christmas cards. With yesterday's snow, I'm giving myself a pass on the early holiday excitement. But I wanted to take some time to ruminate on what I'm thankful for this year.

• My job. My job my job my job my job my job. My job. My awesome job.
• The people I babysit for. Had they not taken me in, I would have moved home to Rhode Island after ditching the rat-infested basement studio.
• My family.
• My friends. Without them, I would have even less faith in humanity than I do now.
• My apartment. I love it. I hope I don't have to leave until I'm able to pay for a place with an actual bedroom.
• Pumpkin beer.
• Hot coffee.
• My Mom's health.
• America's Next Top Model.
• Gossip Girl. XOXO.
  
• MIKE LOWELL!!
• 24-hour Christmas Story marathons.
• Pizza.
• My iPod.
• Zipcar. (I can use it again!)
• My Mom's mashed potatoes.
• Free laundry all weekend.
• The fact that, as broke as I am, I don't need to worry about where my next meal will come from.

I hope you all have a wonderful holiday full of food and safe travels.
